Bass Effects/Pedals.

[xRedx]

I am a bass player by trade and I've recently got back into buying pedals again. I've got a nice small set up at the moment but I do eventually want to have an unnecessarily large collection of pedals.

What does everyone dig?

My current favourite toy is a Source Audio Soundblox 2 Dimension reverb. Its power and scope is absolutely humungous as demonstrated here:

My bass setup varies, but the constants are Korg Pitchblack (for the tuning) and Boss ODB3 (for the filth). Ocassionally I'll throw in a Boss OC3 (for the octaves), but that's only for a few bars of one song Wokrin Man do live.
Currently messing around with a new setup to split my signal into a clean and distorted path running independently. Will report back once there's a conclusion on that.

Please do. I've been looking at doing that for my new band but have had no real experience of it.

In conclusion: it's great, do it.

Please give me instructions, sir.

So, you'll need a pedal (or cheap channel splitter from Maplins) which can split your signal in 2 and one which will re-join them.
In the past I used my verbzilla to re-join them, but this was unsatisfactory as the distorted signal was hard to balance without a volume adjust. Didn't work for me, but worth a go if you have the pedal capabilities. 

HOWEVER, I bought a mixer, which is perfect.

Still need to find the time to research this/get a splitter or mixer and then try it. Recommendations for a splitter/mixer?

Splitter: www.maplin.co.uk/1-4-mono-plug-to-two-mono-1-4-sockets-adaptor-1272 will do the job.
Mixer: I have this guy www.maplin.co.uk/4-channel-mono-mixer-31136
though I'd probably buy a better one if I were buying one again now.
