Lots of cool harmonics to filter through there. Hard to tame the input gain properly but once you do your note decays can be nice and precise. Sounds good for playing funk but its not synthy enough and it's definitely not deep enough for wobbles. It's wet but it's not really thick or juicy. The Enigma is a good envelope filter in and of itself. It has a few cool tricks but a) the tracking is horrible, b) the waveforms are pretty cold and lifeless in general, very annoyingly digital sounding, especially through analog stomps (that Moog RM), c) you can't sync the "LFO" it has so I couldn't consider it usable for dubstep. I wouldn't recommend the Boss SYB at all. Have you played through the Boss SYB and the EHX Enigma personally? I used to be in a touring technical death metal band but I'm heavy into jazz, drum and bass, funky house, dubstep, and I love Squarepusher (especially Feed me Weird Things). It's a good pedal and it's versatile for synth sounds but IMO it's not the ONE to have if you're only looking to snag one. It has slightly better tracking and a tone filter for the octave down sound. The Aguilar Octamizer is another good option. The tracking on bass guitar is exceptional as well, but you'll want to play with your neck pickup soloed and your tone knob all the way off. It's always been the 1 pedal I'd bring for a synth gig if I could only have one. They're cheap on eBay and you'll find a lot of uses for it first in your signal chain. It's got a deep and hollow but really punchy dynamic character with plenty of hair around the edges. Dial the dry tone and -2 octave tone all the way to nil, and then solo the -1 octave. It's a discontinued analog octaver and it is the sauce. Right off the bat, I think the first pedal you should be looking into is the Boss OC-2. If you're going to use stomp boxes, you'll probably be needing buffered splitters, mixers, bypass loopers to activate a small chain in one stomp, etc. as there are a lot of different you can do this but it pays (musically and financially) to sketch things out on paper. I'd need to know a little bit more about what you have in mind sonically, type of music, budget, if you want to go 100% analog, if you're using a DAW as part of the performance and want to implement MIDI, how big of a board you're thinking about, etc. If you're serious about having great sound and doing dubstep and/or drum and bass style heaviness, I can guarantee you won't be satisfied with a bass synth pedal. It's very fun and creative to build a rig like this. I've pursued this to the sluttiest extent imaginable.
