Is this DigiTech IPB10 Guitar Floor Multi-Effects Pedal able to use for Bass and Keyboards? Does it properly work in low frequency instruments(Bass)?

I'm playing my bass on it, and since I don't have my amp here with me, I'm connecting the iPB-10 to the home theater. My answer to your question is: YES! And it works perfectly with me.

Although I have a bass, I have never tried it through the G5...but I was thnking about it just last week. It is possible to get bass like sounds out of a guitar, but its not ideal. I was considering using a real bass to just layer in something with the looper function then switch back to 6 string for overdubs.I see no reason why the effects, EQs, compressors etc wouldn't work fine. I doubt you'd get much mileage out of the amp models and distortion stomps though - or the tube booster circuit. I guess it could be quite creative (with the z-pedal!), or it could be a reasonable tool for tailoring a sound...can't vouch for it just yet though I'm afraid.

I haven't tried it with a bass, but I'd have to agree with the other responses, that it would be unlikely to handle the low frequencies of the bass, except at volumes probably not useful. The Behringer BX108 (at least the older version) and the Ashdown TOURBUS-15 are nice little bass practice amps although not as portable as the Pignose or the Roland Microcube somebody mentioned.

I have indeed tried this on my bass. I ran my Fender USA Jazz bass with flatwounds through my electric guitar pedalboard and out to my 1974 Musicman HD130 head through 2x10 cab at my church. Excellent crunch distortion. I was surprised actually. Worked great through compressor than AC Tone. Had a some great bite to the tone. I didn't want to buy another "just for bass" pedal and I'm glad I tried this one out first. Totally punchy and growly. It turns heads for sure. I also got some really great ambient lows (imagine long sustaining synths) with the combination of the AC Tone (took some fiddling to set to bass, as opposed to my electric), volume pedal for swells, through my delay pedals.. then later, my Strymon Blue Sky Reverb pedal (sometimes with the shimmer effect). Hope that helps. I don't think it was meant for bass necessarily, but it does the job for the one or two songs I needed.

I too live in an apartment I can get away with an amp during the day as long as I don't get to crazy with the volume. I'm pretty sure you can hook a set of head phones directly to it although I've never used it that way. I know you can plug it into a PC/Mac because I use it with garage band and a pair of headphones on my Mac all the time and it works perfectly. Unless they have started including the updated software out of the box a PC/Mac and Internet connection is a must for this unit as you can update the firmware on the unit to allow you to use more effects at once which I did before I used it. I love this pedal it is built like a tank I think it would still work if I threw it down a flight of stairs, it has a ton of usable effects some people have complained it sounds to "digital" but for the $120 I paid for it I couldn't be happier one boss distortion pedal would be almost $100 and all but a handful of people wouldn't be able to tell the distortion or whatever effect was being made by a multi effect pedal as opposed to a dedicated pedal, and the fact that it feels like a real stomp box to use is awesome. Sorry I guess I answered more then your original question but I love this pedal and recommend buying it.

It does. The pedal controls the Ultrabass and the Shape features. It's handy for soloing and switching guitars and having a preset sound. Now that you mention it, I cannot remember where mine is. Shows how much I used it...

I assume the DI will be part of the pedal board chain, and will receive the signal via the other pedals. If so, the pedal is useful if your guitar is not balanced in sound. Trebly bassy etc. it's also useful if your venues change a lot and your fussy with your sound. It's a notch filter and frequency tweeker. I never used mine and sold it.

It does not have effects in/out or an effects loop, but seems to do OK with external pedals. The built in looper is OK, and it has some drum sounds you can use.

Probably not. I have not tried, but it is limited to guitar frequencies, i have tried a bass guitar and found that it was terrible( trying to save a few bucks and avoid the one specially for a bass guitar). I do not think this will suit your needs, though the loop is perfect for guitar!

Experience says these 'cheaper' line pedals don't sound paired with anything other than guitar. Compression can be controlled with MIDI under live situations or added during recording mix. Also you don't have the control with guitar effect pedals as you would with the proper keyboard sustain pedal. Check keyboards that accept sustainer foot pedals; Sweetwater sells the pedals for $15. You can find them cheaper here on Amazon thru M-Audio for around $10. Keep looking and read up on it.

I can't say for certain since I don't play bass. But I would see why it would work. With the attack control you won't lose you how you play each note. If you want more of am explanation there is a youtube channel @eytschPi42 that did a review of this pedal.

I have an M-Audio SP-2 sustain pedal, which works with the keyboard. I don't have Fruity Loops or Reason, so can't help you there.

I use multi fx also and I wanted to be able to change the sound and loop so I put it last in line... BTW... love the pedal... I use it playing out.

I cant say for sure because i havnt acually used one. I use this pedal with my Fender bassman and i like it. Get one you'll like it and if you dont just send it back.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

Yes, I used it for my electric guitar, and when I upgraded to a nicer system, I ave it to my bass player, he still uses it to this day.

Yes sir. I bought a double bass pedal when I ordered mine. Of course, depending on the speed of your kicks, it's hard to hear each one clearly; but that's the kind if thing you can expect surg electronic drums.
