bass through guitar FX?

Newbie dude · #1 12-03-2005

This is a really stupid question, but I just wanna make sure. Better safe than sorry, right? If I run my bass through a guitar effect pedal, it won't screw up the pedal, will it?

lots of times if you run bass through git pedals you loose the bottom of the bass (30-80 hrz range) because the makers weren’t concerned with integrity of frequencies they may have deemed non-essential to the tone.

some pedals are fine, some are not.
if it seems like you lost some bottom, you probably did.

You won't hurt anything, the signal has the same general properties. Experiment away.
