Envelope filter. My brother had an FX-25 and did inane Deadhead shit with it. Do not want. Still gonna do a Meatball clone at some point, though, because it does some more filtery stuff besides.

Don't despise muffs, can use them, but they just aren't that great for me. The scoop and lack of sensitivity/subtlety just make me prefer any other option I have.

I gave the rat a second chance last night; still not a fan.
I play out of a sf bassman, so my amp doesn't have much character to it, but the rat to me sounds so flat and flavorless.

Oh yes phasers. I loved phasers in music but whenever I had one, I went derp mode. But as of the past yearish, I feel like Im using more phaser than other modulation. And diggin it

NYC muffs, Rats, and phasers...I like them all in theory, just can't make them sound good when I'm behind the wheel.

Tube Screamers, Muffs, and the DMM. None of them sound good to my ears. The Distortion+, DOD pretty much any distortion/delay in pedal formats too.

And since it's "circuits", Vox and Peavey amps that I've ever tried.

Maybe it's the change of seasons, or have you cut you hair recently? TGD is pretty funnily and wants to be appeased.

Every bass forum is all about how you need a compressor on bass and I just despise them. The one from T-Rex was especially awful. I get using compressors in recording, but they don't make sense to me in pedal form.
Tremolo is the other one, I tried a few, they are just so boring.
For the long time I could not find an overdrive for bass that wouldn't make me yawn. B3K is the only overdrive I can endure.
All the glitch pedals, the worst one was Red Panda Particle, just an unusable piece of crap in my hands.
And finally, every single pedal made by EHX. Those are the worst, since they often look like a really cool idea and you think that the next one will totally work, but they never do. It's hard to pick the worst EHX I had, they're all horrible.

I did have my hair cut, thanks for noticing, sweetie!

Even I don't hate EHX that much.

I'm somewhere between Behndy and fanboy. I like the couple things I like, and then ignore the rests.
