The difference many bass specific pedals to their guitar counter part is just a blend knob.
Here they talk about guitar pedals on bass:
That bassist says he just uses an EQ after the pedal and boosts the bass back in a little.
I am using a GT-1000CORE, the multi effects pedal from Boss. This thing can add other pedals in an effects loop and split the signal, and also can do HPF/LPF on those paths.
I am experimenting around with some fuzz/distortion pedals in the loop and splitting the signal, but didn’t have the time to really get many sounds going.
Most of the time, it seems the way to go is keeping it simple, just use one path and add a bit of EQ.
