Not quite an effects pedal per se, but something that could really develop your sound:

How does a preamp compare to a compressor?

I am planning on getting a delay pedal, I just want my bass to sound like a sitar if that's what I feel like doing.

I've got just the thing for you then.



Tested one of these bad boys out at guitar center a few times before someone nabbed it, it'll give you some of the sexiest tones you've never heard.

Being at a loss for explanation, I found this to be of some assistance.

Quote:
A preamp is something the brings a signal up to line level. A mic preamp is for microphones, a guitar preamp is for guitars. Any box that can take input other than line level can be called a preamp.
An ideal preamp is transparent, but they can be combined with effects for convenience. EQ and limiter being common in mic preamps. Overdrive in guitar preamps.


A compressor is an effect that reduces the dynamic range of a signal.
