Boss DS1 kills on bass. Volume up high, tone a little low. Sounds awesome.
I agree that it's garbage on guitar. I remember being 13 and trying to figure out why it worked for Cobain but not for me.

My first pedal was a DS-1 that I played bass (a red BC Rich Warlock) through. Guy at the music store said "don't you want a bass pedal?" and I said "Nah"

They do that cool chainsaw thing on bass for sure. I grew to prefer the Boss ODB3, but only for a very specific tube amp-ish setting. Not a big blown out thing

one of my friends is one of those assholes that like the second stuff he ever bought was an odb3, an explorer bass and an SVT - never has any problems, always sounds amazing.
edit: he spends no time thinking about this at all. He's one of the most content-in-life people I know

I'm sure this has been brought up in this thread in the past, but I truly hate the microKorg. It was the first synth I ever had and I hated the keys, hated the sound, saving patches was impossible initially because the fucking manual skipped an entire step so I was stuck with the awful early 00's stock patches. I've come around on them SLIGHTLY, to the point where I don't immediately check-out if I see someone bring it out on stage, but man, you couldn't pay me to take one.

lol, this actually made me hate those effin things one notch less. I did not know you even could save patches. I just always thought it was a rompler w/ some filtering.
It doesn't address the mini-keys though (or the association of all the aughts bands that were XXXX genre but with the "creative twist" of adding a keyboard "player" (again, deliberate use of air-quotes here)) so yeah it will continue to live forever live in my hate-heart.

Follow up on this, I was hanging out with said friend and I said "I told the forum I post on, that how you don't care about your bass gear at all, yet always sound perfect. And that you're an asshole."
his response was "Complicated bassists aren't good at sex"

Under the hood, it's basically an MS-2000, actually a cool synth. Sort of the Korg competitor to the original Nord Lead, JP-8000, etc. The difference is, the MS-2000 had a clearly laid out control panel with lots of physical knobs and buttons, but the MicroKorg has a small display and a menu - a badly-designed menu, at that.
