mini stomp-box footprint . It has True Bypass , a muted output , chromatic modes for bass or guitar , is programable for different tunings , and has a USB port for customizations . Check it out at www . turbo-tuner . com .
The other stomp-box compressor I purchased is the Universal Audio Max Preamp / Dual Compressor . It ’ s totally digital and is just like having UA ’ s computer plugins in a box . It emulates the 610 Tube Preamp and has the models of three legendary compressors : the UA 1176 , the Teletronix LA-2A , and the MXR Dynacomp stomp-box . It also comes with a phone app to further program the pedal via Bluetooth . There is too much good stuff to say about this pedal , so you should read about it at www . uaudio . com / guitar-pedals / maxpreamp-dual-compressor . html .
I still have my Grizzly Bass overdrive pedal that does overdrive , fuzz , tube saturation , mid-scoop , high-cut , and limited cabinet emulation . This amazing pedal is always on ! www . creationaudiolabs . com / grizzlybass .
I am always looking for the ultimate compressor . Unfortunately , I haven ’ t found it yet , but I recently bought two that are drastically different but amazing in their own rights . The first one is the Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass Compressor . It ’ s pretty small ( 5 ” x 2.5 ” x 2 ”) and is built with Class “ A ” components , so it ’ s very quiet . Its attack and release time controls are combined into one for simplified operation . It ’ s also capable of parallel compression ( you ’ ll have to look that one up ) and displays a really cool , retro-looking light that indicates the compression effect in real-time . It also has a dream-worthy , high-pass filter that tells the compressor to only respond to the high-end part of your tone . Definitely dream-worthy ! Check it out at origineffects . com .

I still use my MXR Bass Deluxe Octave pedal all the time ( www . jimdunlop . com / products ), which has been replaced on their website by the MXR Poly Blue Octave pedal . I gotta get one !
For synth bass sounds , I use the Source Audio C-4 . It ’ s a very “ deep ” pedal and has access to a massive library of user-programmed profile files ( via computer ) from all over the world . So far , it ’ s the best tracking synth pedal for bass that I have played through . You can find many demonstrations of it on YouTube or at www . sourceaudio . net .
