Musician's Friend, $100. I couldn't NOT try it at this price. I had planned to buy a more expensive unit, but...
This unit has amp modeling, EQ, fretless, wah and autowah, compressor, synth, fuzzes and distortions (which I don't use), envelopes, flanges, and phasers, all with adjustable parameters.

It has good effects, good parameter adjustment capability, and a decent interface system. Other things I like: The fretless simulator, the autowah, and the EQ.

The expression pedal seems to be very touchy, that 'on/off' type feel. There are noticable pops from this unit. The bass synth isn't that great, but which cheap one is?

It's plastic, which I don't have a problem with, but I've always kinda stood on my guitar wahs in the past (this is my first bass wah), but I don't really want to stand on this unit. I'm afraid I'll break it. And while I may be wrong... I'm not about to find out.

For this price, it's fantastic, just don't expect more than what you paid for, and you'll be very happy. One more good thing... it has lots of effects to play with, so you get an idea of what you like, what you don't, and which ones are really useful in a band environment. Note: This rating is for a $100 unit. If the price goes up, the rating goes down... steeply.
