Yes,yes I have. Reverb and echo are the COOLEST with DB, so neat for arco work, make you sound like a wall of bass. Wah is cool but hard to do.. trem works well... phase does for arco... fuzz and dirt can really sound good but you have to spend a bit of time dialing it in :thumb: Have fun :thumb:

I used a couple of overdrives back in the day, when I thought it was cool to rip of the line to "Mr. Krinkle." Haven't done much lately, sadly.

Things I learned today: Echo is, indeed, THE COOLEST with an upright, especially bowed.

I hate phasers.

And distortion is its own animal that I am going to have to spend a lot of time on. I am going to have to master the feedback portion of it like its just part of the instrument.

Luckily, I have access to a whole shop full of them and a bearded man who can help me out.
