Yes you can. I have been doing it for years. Just watch out, you will lose 90% of bass response while its on. Kick it off, and its normal again. Might I recommend the Dunlop Original Crybaby. Its my personal favorite of all guitar wahs to use.

distortion pedals work the same way for electric, bass, and even acoustic Guitars, signals are "distorted" through the pedal and out into the amp, of course the sound might not be favorable by most Guitarists standards, but preference is key with music in general, not conventionality

Do pedals work on acoustic guitars?

If by one effect pedal, you're actually asking if one effect pedal will work for both regular and bass guitars, the answer is yes, but.... there are effects that are made to work specifically with the lower bass range for a bass guitar- which wont be as effective when using with a regular guitar- and vice-versa. So, in general, yes you can use virtually any effect pedal, with any guitar/instrument... but the effect will be varied in intensity depending on what the effect was initially designed for. Hope that helps.


Can you make your electric guitar an electrical bass?

Unless you have any special sound modifying program you can use to filter the sound (which I don't even know exists) it's impossible. That's why they call it "bass". It's never going to sound EXACTLY like a guitar. The closest you could get it sounding like an e-guitar is by using a distortion pedal. But it won't help THAT much, just give it more distortion.

Which songs are you asking about? I am going to just assume its Bring me to life. Well there is always distortion in almost every song with bass because People never notice it. In attempt to let the bassist get some notice, there is going to be distortion. I play regular guitar so I cant tell you weather its wah wah, or something else but Yes. There is, in fact, distortion.
