Re: Bass players - what's a good stomp pedal for FAT tone?

I apologise if you interpret my intentions as underhanded, I own 3
zvex pedals and he think he makes great stuff but in my defence 90% of
what is on the market in terms of boutique effects or amps for that
matter are tweaked clones of classic circuits, even 3 of Vex's designs
in fact. PCBs are IP as they are considered art work, circuits are not
IP in legal terms but I guess the judgement falls to personal morals
about that and we can agree to disagree. Still think the Malekko is
the way to go though ;-)
