I am in a two piece band and would rather use a pedal to play back bass parts than to try and find another member.Is this the right pedal for that?

As long as your drummer can hear and stay on time with the looping track(s) I'd say it would be great for that. As a musician, however, you can beat a bass player that can change lines and add flourishes as he or she plays.

This could be, but if you're just doing bass I'd recommend using a single track loop pedal. You can still change between parts by changing the loop you're using, but it's a lot cheaper. This pedal can do it too, but unless you have a need for to add/subtract simultaneous loops I'd recommend something cheaper.

Absolutely, no problem. Record the click track on its own channel, and route it separately through your mixer to the headphones. Another way which would save one track would be to record over a click track using the rhythm section and route it separately. You can actually run 4 separate mono tracks by panning main and subs each left and right.

I use my loop for all bass parts and it works great. I run guitar left 50 on main out, bass right 50 on main out, that way I have separate channels on my board. You have to make sure you record the start at the same time as the first track though to keep it is synch. My recorded bass is always correct, never forgets the arrangement, takes no cut, and never misses rehearsal. The 3rd channel is available for other parts. More recently I put down 4, 5,6, 7 or 8 tracks on my digital recorder, mix them down, and put on one loop. It frees up a lot of space on the loop, and it still sounds live.

Sort of it definitely can be done but it can be tedious to map out a whole song for a bass line. A good thing is that you guys would be forced to stay on tempo. There would be couple different ways you guys could do it. One is to record the whole bass line front to back in one track. Or put verse on one track, chorus, on one and like a bridge on another. With that method you are limited to 3 progressions. It can be done. You would just have to sit down and record it all.

Yes you do, the kit does not come with a bass pedal. I would also suggest a drum stool.

To tell you the truth I used looping part only couple times and I do not think I would want Flashback as my only looper. As a delay it is great pedal. But looping with one switch is a bit of a challenge as far as ergonomics goes. Flashback manual says 40secs looping time in MONO and 20 secs in STEREO.

it sounds true to whatever your original sound is, which of course, depends on your amp or your sound man. It works great for single loops...I've never used multiple loops. hope this helps.

I play in a string band and it handles my fiddle (high end) and our stand up bass (low end) just fine. Not sure how that low B will be. It's a solid tuner. Our guitar players have Boss tuners and they are switching to the Korg.

The purpose of this pedal is to add distortion and noise to your sound. I actually use it with a synthesizer. Distortion pedals don't work well in effects loops, but should be placed between your musical instrument and your first amp in the sequence. They can be a great way to make your sound more "gnarly" or "grungy". I will say that with a synth it really depends on the sound that I use as to it's effectiveness. With some sounds, it muffles the sound (and maybe this is what you want). However, I've found that if I use sounds that have lots of harmonics I get the best results.

You should be able to use any standard bass drum pedal you like. The kick pad feels pretty good to play on but you're not going to experience the kind of rebound you would with a tensioned drumhead. Felt beaters are OK but I prefer to use a smooth plastic beater. I'd also recommend an adhesive bass drum patch.

This is the drum pedal I use on the drum pad... it is pretty effective. Cannon UP1220DP Bass Drum PedalIt also works with double bass pedals. The surface is quite large.

This amp has loop effects, send and return, so you can use it pluggin in the last position of chain of pedal effects. But sure, the tone will change a little like chorus if you get drive or distortion, but in clean it is ok.

Perhaps I'm too old and slow on the trigger, but I've had some trouble setting up a loop on the pedal and then to playing over it in a professional way. Years ago, I had another brand that worked for me, but it picked up, probably an op amp, distortion making it only useful for hard rock. I suspect there is an ideal pedal out there for me, but I can't afford to buy them all and shake them down.

I use it with my bass as it is still an amp modeler, it's just not optimized for bass amps so much. That being said there are several amp and boxes and knobs to turn to lower the gain and distortion. Plus the several reverb effects you can use and just bypass everything else. If you play bass mostly, there are models optimized for bass, but this has been a jack of all trades for me, though I'm not all that advanced so I'm not competent to advise any further than that. hope it helps.

Yes it will work very well with a double base pedal setup. You can also get a second base and split the cable to both and use two base pedals as a real double base. I use both one double base setup I use Dualist pedals and actually have four beaters between the two base units that make it a foer base very fast Kick beat. There are also ways to split rims of the toms for expansion. I have played drums for 35 years and have found this Kit a very useful and delightful unit. Hope you enjoy.

I have a Bass Guitar too, but I never thought to use it whit bass.I don't know if it makes a good work because all the effects are tuned for the guitar's audio spectrum.In fact there is a Zoom for Basses.But I can try an tell you the results........Out of curiosity I've tried with my bass, but as espected, the effects more frequency dependent like the wah-wah work really bad, the less dependent like the delay work better.There is the Bass counterpart of this pedal effect: Zoom B1 Bass Multi Effects PedalIt's quite better ti take it.

Mainly its for awesome mid range , not for mid bass or anything a sub would play , but it very loud for mid range .. If you have a spl set up , you really should have this up front , sound stage ..... Hope that helpz

Sorry, maybe I didn't understand the question. There is bass and treble. It is not for a band or multiple instruments, so that is all there is. Sorry

I auditioned for a metal band recently and cranked this thing kept up (volume at max, gan at around 3) perfectly. Once I throw my pedals in front it's sometimes too much for the current band I play with during rehearsal.

Sure- however... Boss guitar pedals have their low end limited from the get go. One of the easiest mods to do is replace the input capacitor to get more bottom. Without that, a bass won't get quite the "blatt" (mimic the low chirp that come from pushing a speaker till it breaks up) that a bass distortion pedal might.
