Will this work on a bass guitar/bass amp? I'm just playing for fun, I want to do Metallica's Pulling Teeth Anasthesia. Thanks.

Sorry for the late response. Just tried it with a bass and bass amp. It's functional, there was some ground buzz when I turned the level up. Probably because of my setup. I don't know if you'll get that Metallica sound, but the pedal definitely works.

Yes, a looper like the Ditto x 2 comes after any stompboxes and just before input into your amp, so it is independant and unaffected by amp type.Can it be used in an amp effects loop is a good question though. I would say not, better to remain out in front of amp and after effects.

Worked great with earphones, but we used with standard electric guitar. Based on the sound from the amp, I would think there would be a distorted sound if used for a bass.

I want to say yes. But I know it doesnt work with the smaller amps. Is it.a fender amp with two channels distortion. If.so I would think it works

assuming that you have an XLR output on your bass amp, this should work great.

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.

While it does work for bass, prolonged bass use will presumably shorten its life (as is the case with most amps) due to the lower frequencies involved. Best to go with a dedicated bass amp.

Bass guitars tend to overpower or even blow out non-bass amps. You can get portable bass amps; that would be what to go with. Bass guitar is a different creature. ; )

Hello James, I have not tried it with a bass but see no reason that it would not work, it will. Keep in mind though that the low rich tones you would expect from a larger amp won't be there. It will be audible and it will have plenty of volume. Hope this helps you out a bit. You might check YouTube, search for HoneyTone Amp. You might find your answer for sure there! Good Luck! Dennis

I don't think this amp would sound very good with a bass guitar. It tends to be better for bright tones, which doesn't make it very good for a bass tone. I'm sure you could play it safely at lower volumes, but I don't think it would be a very good bass tone.

I'm not sure how you would use it. 1) A fender bass has a direct line out: if you want an "in-line tuner", then you wouldn't use the mic. 2) If your using the mic as a pick-up, again your fender is electric, you would just be by-passing the installed fender pick-ups that make the fender the great guitar that it is3) if you're using it for an "effects send", then you're again bypassing the best (and cleanest) signal from your bass - and you would have to run through a mixer to use it.CONCLUSION: I wouldn't use it on a Fender Bass.

You will to check the input on your amp. The input for your amp has to be stereo in order for the pedal to work. If it's mono this pedal won't work as designed. Good luck!

i haven't tested that way, but i believe it will work with no problem, but remember that it will sound with distortion or the fx that are built in the amp.

It's not ideal, but can be done if kept at low volumes. It is not meant to handle the lower frequencies of a bass guitar. Thank you.

I have mine set at 60,0" phase and ~100hz on bypass and I've had no problems. What amp are you using to drive it? I listen to lots of heavy bass music and can easily drive myself out of the room if I crank my amp so the question is--? what do you want to do the heavy lifting. The amp or the sub?

I can't say. It is a subtle distortion pedal that I use for crunch more than distortion. I can't imagine this pedal being very interesting sounding with bass. Perhaps one of their hi-gain or fuzz options might be a better fit.
