To preface I’m very new to the world of pedals. I recently picked up a lot of EH pedals and have been playing around with them quite a bit but haven’t had any success with the Batallion D/I and the Bass Soul Food.

My current setup is as follows:

Vol Pedal (Ernie Ball Tuner/Vol Pedal) -> Batallion D/I -> Big Muff -> Bass Synth -> Soul Food -> Bass Clone

Bass is a Music Man StingRay5 HH
Amp is Ashdown ABM600

When everything is plugged in all the pedals turn on and noticeably change the sound … with the exception of the Soul Food and Batallion. When I remove them from the chain and plug them into the bass/amp solo they only raise the bass volume level. No change in pitch/tone and no distortion tone from the Batallion. I tried watching videos online and moved the knobs to mirror those on videos and cannot replicate the sounds at all (in fact the sound doesn’t change when moving the knobs). I’m at a loss. I have no idea if its user error or just a faulty device.

Any help would be appreciated!
