Hi guys,
I've been playing for about 9-10 years now and used to be an active gigging bass player. However, I shifted my city and stopped playing live for about a year and a half for intense work pressure. Recently I've joined a band and started playing again (It's mainly hard/glam rock covers) with which we plan on playing occasional gigs. In the past, I've had a nice pedalboard with all analog pedals, however, I sold all that before I shifted city and I knew that I won't be able to play much for quite some time again.
So, since it's not much more than playing the occasional gigs, I've been thinking of putting together a hybrid setup instead of investing a lot of money on multiple pedals. I checked out the new MXR M81, which looks really nice and I've been thinking of adding a multi-effect to it for the additional tones + tuner (I'm not a big tone user, just the basic ones) and hence, here come my queries:
1. Do you think it will be a good idea to add a multi-effect before a bass preamp/di? I have never used that combination before.
2. Will there be a signal loss right after the multi-effect or is that a thing of the past?
3. I'm thinking of Zoom MS60B. Any other options? Vox Stomplab 1b looks pretty cool too. What do you guys think about it? Zoom b1on looks pretty neat too.
One thing is, I'm from India, and there isn't a lot of option available here. It will be really helpful if you guys can suggest and advice me on the above queries. Looking forward to hearing from you people!
Cheers!
