One thing that I’ve found invaluable for evaluating pedals is a looper.
Put it (temporarily) at the start of the signal chain and use it to record a couple of bars.
Then put down the bass, put the looper on repeat and experiment away to your hearts content with the pedal settings.
I have the bass deluxe big muff and love it but it can take some tweaking of the blend and sustain to get the tone you’re looking for.
If you don’t like it though there’s a plethora of options out there.
