I really need a bigger board. Kudos if you can guess the signal path.

Then the other outs of the Looper:

Into the Behringer V-Bass, and the FAB Chorus is running into the DigiDelay, but nothing seems to be running into the FAB?:confused:

Close but no.

Good job Sir Edward.

Here's mine with a few changes. (Mobile Phone pic, but I think it's clear enough? In case you are wondering, the blue pedal is a Tonefactor Huckleberry, it wasn't very clear in the pic...)

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q123/FunkyAssBassMan/Image001.jpg

yeah yeah, it's a mess at the moment, I plan on getting some George L's ASAP. Also, my Chunk pedals arn't in the chain because the power supply won't reach them and I have no cables long enough to reach them.

I thought about what some of you said so I drew up a little plan :D.

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q123/FunkyAssBassMan/BoardLayoutPlan.jpg
I haven't worked out a signal chain yet, I'll do that when I actually have them all :D, but those are the pedals and roughly where I'll put them.

What do you think? :)

This has been said before but I'm so jealous of your Jet Phase :D

...now lets not get derailed over it again.:rolleyes:

I'm going to do clips soon, I was actually about to do them but I have a problem with some stuff about it... I'll sort it out soon though!

And those clips will be in the databass too, you should do some of the PH-350 when you get it too...I'm very interested in those.

I'll do the Maxon one along with a fuzz too to finally find out if the Maxon + Fuzz = Jet Phase :D

You should do a poll and make 2 clips, 1 jet phase one Maxon + Fuzz and let people vote on which they think sounds better and then reveal which is which later.

Thats what I'm waiting for too...

My new Pedaltrain Jr, at last! I'm going to compare the LBM and the DOD 250 at my next band practice and see which does the job better. After that, one of them will leave the board to be replaced with either the Micro POG or the BBE Opto Stomp. Also the space above the SABDDI is left vacant for a clock.

that's right. it can be Chorus, Phaser or both at the same time, it depends on the way Phase and Chorus level knob are set. Unfortunately it can't do flanger....:crying:

I just moved to a new house and my PC is DOA. All I have is a laptop with crappy sound card. I'll see what I can do for the clip.

These days even Larry Graham doesn't use the Jet Phaser, he uses a Danelectro Fab Tone Distortion run into some phaser. I have no idea which one though.

first pedalboard post!! ...it's not finished. but its looking like a never ending rotation..

i build the board myself and spent about $10 and took about an hour to finish(that includes the time it took paint to dry!!)

i run it... IN> XXL > VT-1 > Submarine > LMB-3 > OUT


i leave the submarine and lmb3 on the entire time. the submarine fills my tone out very nicely and its the only pedal on my board that i dont see myself changing anytime in the near future.

i NEVER run the xxl without the VT-1 on... it takes away all the buzzy sound and sounds huge!


im looking to add a tuner(dont know where to start..) and some kind of boost when i switch from my modulus to pbass.

DieChris, it looks like you have the perfect amount of space for a TU-2 if your looking for a tuner. I've had mine for 2 and a half years and yet still no complaints.

Got the Verbzilla and am loving it (thanks spankypants) next step compressor.

How do you like the PS-45?

I like my PS-45...plenty of room and hookups. The power conditioner is a huge plus.

Great case and easy to use....good for powerlifting too.:D:D:D:D:D:bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist: :bassist:

it makes my life 100 times easier. I don't need a board quite of this size really... but it will get filled up trust me. The things built like a rock and the velcro seems to be sticking very well when I move it around. I've only had it a few days but I am really enjoying it so far.

Uh, new to this thread, but here's my newest setup...

Hmm...diggin the homemade wah!

Haha, well I suppose home-made is an overstatement...

I never really found a bass-specific wah that I liked, so I decided to "build" one. I actually just modded a Dunlop copy (Guitar Research) to some bass specs, did true bypass, and put a Fulltone potentiometer in it. It sounds really good for what it is, and will stay on my board until I find (or build) a very suitable replacement for it. There's a wealth of info online on how to do all the mods, and it's cheap and fun at the same time.

Oh yeah, here's my ultimate board again.

Ignore the setting on the pedals, i must have been playing with them at the time as these aren't my usual settings!

However, the MM, LBM, CT, BDW and maybe the MXR are all going. Hopefully by the time summer comes round, my pedalboard MAY resemble this though.

Cool your rig is almost like my old rig ... only mine was/is curly

Very effective too, when plugged straight into my old SVT !

The only real reason I use any pedals at all now is to have the ability to
get that old school overdriven tube amp vibe when needed. The PM (pitch modulation)
function on my Unichorus and the hi-gain Fuzz that the Voodoo Bass is capable of are only
used on one tune we do live ... the Give Me Some Loving Hippie Jam, used to have some of
the power and presence of Steve Winwoods B3 Hammond since we don't have keys in our band.

There are some very elaborate pedal board rigs in this thread ... some really cool stuff I'm seeing that
gets me to wondering how they are used in context of either live or recorded music

A word or two on the hows and whys of some of these set-ups would be of great interest to me
and I'm sure to others ... how about it guys.

I have one too! I say it's worth around 450-500...but not the 700$ price tag is recently has gone up to.

From Chronicle. It seems like there is a break in the back where the part that gives it the rising angle is, but it's such a clean break I'm not sure. I couldn't resist loading up the pedals. I hope the break isn't an actual break from shipping... anybody know for sure?

Yeah there are a few of us around here on TB who have the Bass Whammy. Just keep savin up and keep an eye on ebay. I saw one not too long ago go for just over 400, which is still too much, but given the usual ~600 tag it was a deal. Considering it's boutique, it's not too bad.

I have one too! I say it's worth around 450-500...but not the 700$ price tag is recently has gone up to.

Even 500 is too much IMO (even though I paid plenty more than that even :o). You figure it's a $200 pedal new give or take (based on the current Whammy IV). Add in the fact that it's boutique and rare to find, about $400 seems to be a fair price given that capabilities of the pedal. However demand is so high for them...

Omg... that's horrible... dude totally get USPS to pay for a new one.

what are you doing with the line selector and ab pedal??

So, let me explain...

I use three Basses "Live". One 4-String, another 4-String tuned in Eb,Ab,Db,Gb. (these two 4-Strings I play through a Wireless System)...and another 5-String wich goes through a Cable.

From the Wireless system i go into the Boss AB Box and then with two Outputs (for two 4-Strings) into the Line Selector where i can adjust the Output Levels of the both 4-Strings The 5-String goes with Cable into the third Input of the LS-2 and the both 4-Strings are adjusted to this, so i have no Differences in Output Level when I switch between the three Basses.

Then into the Compressor, the Sonic Stomp and from there into my GK Amp

Definately really easy, isn´t it? :)

You should go check out loop-masters A/B/C Boxes would give you less buffers and such unless you use the LS-2 for levels lots but I would have thought you could have adjusted the wireless packs for that.

How do you like the Turbo Rat compared to the XXL? I was considering buying another XXL since I loved the first one I had, and I've heard that the Rat series are bottom-end suckers, so how do they compare?

And also, since when has the Bass Whammy been boutique? :ninja:

Of course you can adjust on the Belt Pack thr Output Level. But the two 4-Strings have different Output Levels. So I this Case I had two switch on the Belt Pack, everytime I change the Bass. With the LS-2 It´s One Time Set it, then forget it.

Loop masters sounds interesting, but I´m in Doubt, if they are available here in Germany.

Since now, the LS-2 works perfect for me, but here we have the Products from "Lehle". Very good, but very expencive also :-)

They are available in Germany, but they are made by one guy in the states, so you would have to wait for it to be put together and shipped over, and then you'd probably have to pay tax and stuff on it too.

The Loopmaster units are top notch though - I've bought 2 of their pedals so far (The mini true bypass loop with LED, and the mini tap tempo switch) and both units have been flawless in design, operation, and are built to last.

I can tell you have a cat... Either that or you're losing a lot of hair. :smug:

By the way, don't all those pedals suck a lot of your tone? Do you have a blender that we're not seeing?

And also, since when has the Bass Whammy been boutique? :ninja:

+1. Digitech are boutique? Here I was thinking they cheaply machine-made effects for mass sale... Or does boutique just mean 'expensive' these days?

Boutique seems to be one of them phrases that people are beginning to throw around more and more, (like auto-wah and envelope filter) when it means something completely different.

Just to clarify, boutique isn't just something that's rare/out of production/stupidly pricey, it's something made by hand, by a relatively small company, usually aimed at a specific area of the market. (At least, that's how I would describe it?) :confused:

I like it a lot so far, though I just got it. I can't really tell too much of a difference in bottom end loss between the XXL and Turbo RAT. So far I think I prefer the overall crunch and better sustain of the RAT.

2 dogs, and that was after I dusted the board too :p

Yeah they suck tone and volume, but not badly enough for it to bother me. I can still crank my amp loud enought o shake the house, so it's not a big issue for me.

+1. Digitech are boutique? Here I was thinking they cheaply machine-made effects for mass sale... Or does boutique just mean 'expensive' these days?

What word would you use to describe them then? I only call it that because it's a rare, out-of-production, highly in demand pedal. I'm not sure what word better describes those attributes.

Saying something is boutique when it isn't is kinda misleading to people who don't know the difference. Just say that it's rare and/or discontinued.

Thanks for the answer about the XXL vs Rat, I will see if I can find a turbo Rat to try...

Was something wrong with the board?
I'm planning on getting one...

well right now its just size, it was ok when i got it, but my collection expanded. but a problem iv had for a long time was the carpet on the board. the case is advertised to come with Velcro, but it only comes with one side of the Velcro and the carpet is supposed to be the other half, but the fibers are so small that my pedals kept falling off during transport. so i had to rip the carpet off, now its a hard surface that can have actual Velcro stuck on it.

but even before i noticed the velcro problem, i noticed a problem with teh dept of teh board, its only 1" but the first pedal in the chain was my wh-4 and the input jack is on the side so i couldn't plug in the cable without having the whammy at an odd angel or a few inches away from the edge.

also, occasionally the board slides a bit, nothing crazy, but its metal and i have it on a hard wood floor

The Loopmaster units are top notch though ...flawless in design, operation, and are built to last.

I dunno, even if they did, i use the TU-2 to power my pedals using a onespot

Technically, the TU-2 doesn't power anything - it just provides a place to plug in the Boss daisy chain, which IMO sucks.

For any other daisy chain, it doesn't matter at all if there isn't a DC Out jack. After all, what do you think the jack on the 1 Spot daisy chain is for? It's not just for other daisy chains - it's also for the 1 Spot itself. :p

this my ressurected pedalboard. just added recently are, loop-master 3 loops with tuner/bypass, compulator, bassdrive mosfet and micro pog.

my current set up is:

sadowsky MS5 / warwick streamer stage 1 5 string thru samson wireless:

looper in
looper 1- micro pog and bass synth wah
looper 2- fulltone bassdrive mosfet
looper 3-boss chorus
looper out are mxr-80 and compulator (always on)

i'll replace the boss chorus and bsw in few months with analogman mini chorus and emma disco-bob or maxon af-9

ok, just made this lay out for the board i plan to build.... there will be lights hanging on it also so i can see in the dark...


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/retitled/pedalboard-1.jpg


edit:

the mxr-80 and the wh-4 are on the "need to acquire" list, just as soon as i sell of another pedal, and i couldnt for the life of me think of what else i needed to fill up that one empty slot, and thought "oh snap.... im out of pedal gas!!!" then i thought "hmmmm i should pick up a blender..." lol


so the "need to acquire" list right now is "wh-4, mxr m-80, barge concepts vfb-2

beyondhairy, how did you make that image??

Also, do you want your wah in the center like that? It seems like it would be hard to access from there.

i use a program called 3ds max 5, its a pretty expensive program, also its out dated, i used to be pretty heavy into 3d modeling a while back. long since stopped, but i called upon some remainign skills to put this together.


iv noticed how often i use my wah and more times then none i use the wah only with distortion, which is why i have it sitting ontop of the distortion pedal. really quick access. and its only on the rarest of occasions that i will use wah with delay, and thats only on low tempo songs so no problemo in getting to teh wah then


edit: and the last thing i did before i stoped 3d all together was this.... can you guess what took me away from 3d? lol

Sweet model! I was going to make my pedalboard in 3D once, but never got round to it. I may try it again now that I have Max 9.

how do you like the s.preacher?

It's been a difficult pedal to get working exactly how i want it, but now it's great.

I've had to do alot of small adjustments to the internal trim-pot to get it dialed in so that the pedal doesn't just "super squash" my sound or distort on really low notes.

You just have to make a decision about whether you want always on compression, or compression as an effect, dial in the pedal that way and test it at the min and max values for threshold to ensure you have the right range. It comes setup for guitards so it's input gain (trim-pot) is bumped a tad too much for an active bass.

It definitely has a very pronounced compression effect when set to max threshold, much more so than some of the other compression stomp boxes I've tried out.

You should be the guy who is responsible for all those images in Behringer site :D:D:D

Behringer should be so busy to invent :cough: that they can not put real pedal pictures on their site..

Edit: But, on the other hand, he's always sending all his sweet vintage stuff off somewhere to get true bypass and repairs and stuff. Mark, I think you should send all your vintagey pedals to me, and I would be happy to mod their bypass or whatever else is necessary. And maybe, just maybe, you might convince me to play them a little bit, too. ;)

lol never went to the site till just now... so lame haha i should hit em up

it's getting close to done, i'm still waiting on a Dunlop Bass Wah and Nano Small Stone, and considering getting a true bypass loop for the two distortion pedals. Finished the actual construction, and found an old hard suitcase in my attic randomly that I'll be converting into a case, just need to clean up the wires!...

http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v167/11/52/1820701/n1820701_34965404_166.jpg

Bass -> Boss TU-2 -> Octave Multiplexer -> Russian Big Muff -> Boss DS-1 -> Boss Volume Pedal -> (Dunlop Bass Wah) -> Boss AW-3 -> (Nano Small Stone) -> Boss CEB-3 -> Digitech Digidelay -> amp

im guessing youre using it as an effect?

I don't typically leave mine on all the time, but the m.POG doesn't like the spikes from slap style playing so I typically use it in combination with the other pedals to soften/round the sound up a little bit.

I hate the "super squash" sound, so I tried, in essence, to get my pedal sounding more like the always on compression you might find built in to an amp.

Seems to do a pretty decent job of that.

Here is mine... SKB PS45 powered board, Strobostomp II, to T-Rex Squeezer, to T-Rex Bass Juice, to EH Bass Micro Synth, to Boss GEB-7, to Carl Martin Bass Chorus, to EB VP-Jr.

I like how you have your volume last and on the left, thats how I do mine and everyone thinks I am crazy.

I mean, I already have a volume at the beginning....its my freakin knob. I like using the volume last so I can keep all of my effects/drive dynamics while only changing the volume [/rant]

Anyways, glad I am not the only one. Nice board by the way :)

I am new to this effects things...heres a pic just got godlyke power deal today with the powerpump for the blowtorch..I need some shorter patch cables or something tho...not sure im happy with this case yet...

I just started really getting into pedals a few months ago. My board is in constant flux as I'm trying to figure out what I like. Here's a pic:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y205/funkasaurus/pedals/003.jpg

The DOD, SEM, and Messdrive aren't hooked up right now, I just didn't want to leave 'em out of the family portrait. So far, my favorite is the Fulltone. Next on my list of pedals to try are a Micro POG, a delay, a phase shifter, and a wah pedal of some kind. Anyway, thanks to everyone here for all the knowledge, sound clips, and deals. (I bought most of these used from TB'ers). And here's a pic for the road...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y205/funkasaurus/pedals/007.jpg

At Last a full board.
Route 66 Comp/Dist-->Fender Blender-->Boss Bass EQ-->EHX Bassballs Nano-->Morley Power Wah-->EHX Small Clone-->DOD Phaser-->Ibanez DE-7-->Korg AX3B

All done up with George L's this week. Now I can use the board.

okay, this should be the final configuration at least for a while.

Here's my current setup (on a Pedaltrain).

Really happy with all of it and crazy as it sounds, not G.A.S.-ing for anything in the FX department right now.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Most of the board was built from trial & error + stuff I learned from folks here who have forgotten more about FX than I will ever learn.

Nice board, very classy. How do you like the Psilocybe as opposed to other phasers?

I LOVE IT! :D

The Psilocybe is my third phaser over a span of about five months. My first was the "standard"; an MXR Phase 90. Nice enough to convince me that I wanted a higher-end phaser and not much control with just a single knob. My second phaser was a high-dollar Maxon PH-350. This sounded nice and smooth, but lacked the depth and fullness I had gotten used to with the MXR. The Maxon sounded very smooth and clean, but I just couldn't get used to such a subtle phase effect. I've read that the full effect of the Maxon 350 is best when you use it in stereo - I didn't, nor did I want or need to. So...off it went to ebay. It was a space hog as well, so candily I was happy to see it go.

More homework led me to the Psilocybe. This box delivered depth and richness of the MXR with amazing control/tweak-ability, far better overall sound and true bypass on top of it all...for a bit more than half of what I had just sold the Maxon 350 for. Cool! :D

If you watch for them, the Psilocybe can be had on ebay for well under $150. If you get the chance to try one...do it!!

Thanks,
-Paul

... It's a nice feeling, I'm in the same position.
Thanks, Kenny ...and good on ya'! :)

Ain't it cool to just play and not fret for what you don't have?

For my needs, this board does it all...and then some!

hey guys I don't post on here too often but I finally have a pedal setup that I'm satisfied with. no actual pedalboard but i'm gonna have my buddy make me one soon.

Boss TU-2 > Boss OC-2 > Boss LS-2 (mix setting) +> ZVex Woolly Mammoth > Guyatone Ultron (with Moog EP-2 expression) > Akai Deep Impact

okay, this should be the final configuration at least for a while.

Just curious, do you compress your signal first up in the chain? How does that sound?

Nice selection of pedals. I'd put the Deep Impact first in line, as it works best with a nice clean signal coming straight from your bass.

Again, nice pedals :)

But whats the last pedal the big silver one?

It's a Toneczar Halophase v3.

a guitar! for shame. such a sweet setup though.

I can't play the guitar... but I've found trying to be very helpful to my bass playing.

Toasted how much did you pay for that original swollen pickle?

Micro POG goodness. Nothing is quite finalized so I haven't gotten anything velcro'd or cables set 100%

Toasted how much did you pay for that original swollen pickle?

$700, but I'll sell it to you for $650 :)

This BP-8 goes with me to every gig. I mostly use it for tuning and having several good tones at my feet, but the octaver and pedal wah get used a bit from time to time:

Definitely a great pedal. It's not worth the 700$ price tag though. If i was you, i'd wait for one to pop up for 400-500$ or wait for someone to make a clone :]

I certainly can use it for a lot of things and not just Tool songs. Love the way it tracks, wish i could fix that faulty input volume knob! >_< It tends to make static sometimes. Perhaps it's just my whammy?

Sweet setup. How do you like the Tube Echo? I've heard a bunch of clips, but never found one sitting in a store for me to try it. I'm interested in how the Analog and Tape sim options sound.

Is that an Ibanez analog delay too?

I can't wait to get my NYC Pedalboard! That board looks hawt! :] That isn't the Bigshot right?

No its the Maxon pro..

The tube echo is great!! The analog and tape sims are cool, they get very dirty.. A bit of hiss with this pedal but otherwise really cool..

Here is my original board that I put together last summer. Did not like the board (Warwick) itself for a number of reasons. So I gave that to one of the guitarists in our band for an X-mas gift. Plus sold him the Brick.

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u161/Geddyfleaharris/Effects/katies193.jpg

Here is my new board that I have been using for about a month. Pretty basic but keep in mind that I have a Korg tuner and an RBI in my rack so no need for pedal versions. Loving the board itself - a Furman SPB-8. I am waiting for a cable with one flathead to run from the Pog to the Furman to clean the board up a bit. Had to special order the cable because no one in town had one before X-mas, if you can believe that. :hmm: GAS says that I will experiment with either a Colorsound Tonebender and/or a Tech 21 Bass Warp or whatever it is called, in the near future. On the sidelines - MXR Auto Q and the 105Q.

nice board! I wish I still had a weeping demon, I'll probably pick one up again, eventually. Why do you have the noise suppressor at the beginning? I thought those kind of things went at the end of everything...? lol

Thanks! :) I put the NS-2 at the beginning because that's where the Boss instructions said to LOL. Boss says you can put it at the end but having it at the beginning is more effective. I just did what they said to and it has been working great for me!

With the NS-2, it is actually most effective to run all your pedals in the loop. With the pedals in the loop, the gate is based ONLY on your basses output, but it also cuts the noise that your pedals make as well. Essentially, it's like having a gate at the beginning and end of the signal chain.

Geddy, is the NS-2 for your Rick's hum? How well does it work? I'm thinking of using the EHX Hum debugger for my Rick's single coil hum.

im thinking about getting a nyc pedalboard is that the most highly recommended?

NYC or Pedaltrains are the big ones around here. The gator and SKB ones are popular too but not as much as far as I've noticed. You cant go to wrong with any of them IMO, it's just whatever brand carries the features you want...the tidyness of a pedal train, the double levels of a NYC or the built in power supply of the SKB. They all get the job done.
Homemade ones are cool too, especially if you can make it out of metal...

+1 on thinking about an NYC Pedalboard. I've done a lot of research and as a pedalboard without a power supply goes, these are tops. I'm getting one custom made (ordering on Fri.) and the quote I got was extremely reasonable.

Geddy, is the NS-2 for your Rick's hum? How well does it work? I'm thinking of using the EHX Hum debugger for my Rick's single coil hum.

Actually Chronicle it was for the "chaos", as Mystic Boo calls it, of the LBM. The noise from the LBM was ridiculous! It was embarassing to engage the pedal. Things are better now. Any hum/noise that I get from my Rics (and it's not much in my books) has not bothered me to the point where i thought I had to do something about it.

Thanks for the tip. :) By "in the loop" do you mean that I would run from the Pog back into the NS-2 and then into the Furman? :help: If that's the case I tried to do that but did not get a signal. Maybe I connected the cables wrong or something. :hmm: I will experiment.

I mean that you would run out of the "send" on the NS-2 to the input of your WD-7 to you LBM, to your POG, and then back into the "return" on the NS-2. That is how I run all my pedals, and it works like a charm. It even works to run the preamp of your amp through that loop. I showed one of my guitarists how to do that, and it effectively eliminated that high-gain hiss that you get from a loud amp.

Previously I only owned the PD-7 . I recieved all the other pedals and the board yesterday, so i haven't had time to test it with my band yet; but I'm quite happy with all the pedals so far .

^Your board makes me happy. I think we share the same taste in pedals.:bassist:

It makes me sad.
Why buy good pedals and a good big board and then connect with bad cables and sloopy placement not using the place anyway? Maybe they are not attached to the ground and this is how it looks when you open the case?
Come on Funkyass, please?

Cables make less of a difference then people make them out to I think. Alot of people wait on "finishing" their board to order cables too so as to get them at the proper length. I use Planet Waves on my board, but I can't tell an audible difference between them and my rainbow cables. Still it is nice to have good cables you know wont go bad on you randomly.

I'm waiting until I have all the spaces filled then I'm getting a large piece of pedalboard carpet, then I'll stick them down in a more or less permanent place. Then I will also get george Ls so I can get all the lengths correct. See, I had a plan :).

How are the Gator G-Bus power suppies? Im looking at getting one because its best value for $$ and has the 18volt adapters. Does it introduce any unwanted current hum into the signal?

The Gator power is really good VFM. I've not found any noise/ hum added to my signal, and I'm DI 99% of the time.
The 18v supply was a major selling point for me and the fact that it was significantly cheaper than the dunlop

I really have the MD3, the Marshall Drivemaster and a russian big muff.

Its a very meat and potatoes style delay. Its very warm, to the point where it can get a little muddy (although my tone is pretty much mud anyway so take that into condsideration :p )
Its really simple to use, and its fairly cheap too. But id definately get an adaptor for it, it chews through batterys like Oprah chews through chicken.

Apart from that, its a very neat little pedal. Go look on Harmony Central, there are heaps of reviews on there

just waiting for some cables to arrive so i can hook these bad boys up

Really? That's the exact opposite of my experiences with the MD-3. I thought it was the clearest, sharpest sounding delay I'd ever heard. I guess it really depends on what your feeding into it, though.

Nice board, BTW. :bassist:

Well thats only on 'extreme' settings really, and like i said: im not really feeding a super clean tone into it which is probably why.

Plus the amp im using at the moment isnt exactly the optimal bass tone.

But for the size, price and features you really cant go wrong with it

Yeah, that was my take on the MD-3 as well. Outside of something like the Echo Park with the ducking engaged, it was the delay that muddied up my tone the least. In fact, if it had tap tempo it would still be on my board. Fantastic delay. Of course, I'm not a fan of analog delays on bass in a band context, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I likes 'em clean.

Latest and last upgrade ...

That board would be right at home for gigs in Nawlins. What with the "voodoo" theme and all . . . ;)

almost done, still waiting on the godforsaken bass wah:

signal chain is (i should get a loop...):

bass -> Boss TU-2 -> Octave Multiplexer -> Boss DS-1 -> Russian Big Muff -> Boss AW-3 -> Boss Volume -> (Dunlop Bass Wah) -> Boss BF-3 -> Nano Small Stone -> Boss CEB-3 -> Digitech Delay -> amp

DOUBLE POST! :spit:

Here it is so far. Its one of those evolving processes :D. The XXL and eq pair are getting switched for a bluebeard soon and I haven't decided which flanger & chorus pedals are going to replace the current boss flanger and chorus. I'm waiting till the pedals are all set before I get some better cables and power supply.

^^ Man that thing is mint arbitrary. Good work

Thanks! I have my wife to thank for some of the cool stuff on there.

She must know her pedals ;)

Let me guess...You're not a fan of Pigtronix? :hiding:

I think they're some of the best pedals on the market, especially the way they are priced. The EP1 bounced my Lovetone Meatball from the board because of its usability.

Plus, I've known Dave from Pigtronix for a long time.

Yeah, I've never tried any of them personally, but that Attack Sustainer pedal has me interested. Only thing I don't like about them is the real estate they take up!

Glad to be a part of the TB Community

I think I need clips of the Attack Sustain

+ alot :D

Just got my NYC Pedalboards Big Shot. Still in the process of setting it up, but let me tell you that the quality and construction is top notch. The carpet is well seated and not too shaggy, so it should continue to look nice and function well throughout its life.
All the hinges, handles, feet, and corners are perfectly placed and attached. The weight is surprisingly light as well. I will post pics and more specifics this weekend.

welcome Chadshorebird, tell me, whats the old Boss GEB-7 like, ive seen one for sale at a pawn shop. The old Japanese pedals seem to have a cult following, would you say its any different from the one thats readily availible now?

old board:
http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sctm/v171/104/101/1122600165/n1122600165_30205172_6525.jpg

but now, I have updates!

I just got the Soul Preacher on wednesday and I have to say I totally dig it. It is my first compressor, and for less than a hundred bucks it sure gets the job done. The biggest positive factors I've gotten with it are that my wah doesnt have a hug low-mid/bass sweep anymore, which I personally didnt like. My distortion sounds smoother now, as well as my general note-to note volume (which is the point, eh?) and theres no tone suck that I can tell (I do have a less than stellar setup anyhow, so that might have something to do with it lol).

When I got the soul preacher I re-arranged EVERYTHING on my board and tried different signal chains. I settled on this one and now I like all my pedals even more lol. My chorus really shimmers now, whereas at the front of the chain it sounded pretty boring. My distortion/wah combo sounds killer. The submarine adds some UMPH and volume to the distortion.

one last comment: I have the volume of the Soul Preacher set fairly low and use the submarine to boost the volume a little bit - I find I get less hiss and the attack of the compressor isnt as noticable.

new and improved board:

Signal chain: Dunlop 105Q Wah, ProCo Rat, EHX Soul Preacher, Elextronix Submarine, Boss CE-5, Boss TU-2, Tech21 Sansamp PBDI

I'm happy :bassist:




I think I'll call this board done - time to start on another jam session one (synth, delay, flanger, volume pedal) lol.


p.s. everything (including the board) except the Rat and the Soul Preacher were bought here on TB - this place rocks!

forgot, here's a nightshot!

welcome Chadshorebird, tell me, whats the old Boss GEB-7 like, ive seen one for sale at a pawn shop. The old Japanese pedals seem to have a cult following, would you say its any different from the one thats readily availible now?

Well, I had a new version of the Boss Bass EQ and ended up finding an old version by happenstance. I love this version and ended up selling the new one. I'd say pick it up at the pawn shop. If you can't use it, you can surely sell it on ebay.

...pretty colors

I do like that night shot :) chadshorebird, how do you like that mxr bass octave? does it track well? How do you like it? Might be checking one out soon

I think I need clips of the Attack Sustain

Disnortion would be great too.

I love the mxr octave. I've been using this same one for eight years and have never even thought about swapping it out. It tracks well, and in combination with a good envelope filter (Pigtronix ep1, lovetone meatball, or Moogerfooger lp) it sounds fantastic. Just be sure to put it before the EF.

The disnortion is great for bass because of the variety of sounds it can deliver. I like to use the octavia function with the mxr octave so I have high and low octaves. The octavia seems to latch onto the clean signal delivered from the mxr. I also love the ASDR for that pulsing sound you can get.

Pedal Board Now updated:

Bass => Volume (with Tuner on out) => Compulator => 105Q => O.D. => Whammy => Delay => Amp

whoo! nice! an EVENTIDE! How do you like it??

Maybe the Mod-Factor finds the way on my board one day.... :)

I'm torn between the timefactor, echolution and memory lane myself. they all seem so good.

Not the regular band board... but the setup for an upcoming noise rock project.

Still somewhat messy and needs some better cables...

Band board is just Bass->Tuner->EHX Tube Zipper->Boss BassOD->Fulltone Bassdrive->EHX SEM->DL4->(sometimes Sansamp)->Amp

:bassist:

Thats definately a fun board.

wow... can you tell me what each pedal is? Or do you have another post that says that? Some of those look really interesting :]

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g99/the_kid_jam/IMG_4628.jpg

A compressor and or delay is on the way (trying to choose)

hey! thanks for your interest. no.. I don't have any other post about my board, because my board's never really constant :)
So here's the order:

Traben Torrent 5-String bass -> Planet Waves Tuner ->Electro Harmonix Tube Zipper (Envelope Filter/Distortion)-> Effector 13 Torns Peaker (Extreme organic Fuzz)->Death by Audio Octave Clang (Octave Up/Ring Modulation)->Effector 13 Truly Beautiful Disaster (Feedback Loop/Oscillating Fuzz)->Boss ODB-3->Ampeg Scrambler(Octave Up/Fuzz)->Fulltone Bassdrive->Electro Harmonix Stereo Electric Mistress(Chorus/Flanger)->Sansamp->Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler->Ampeg SVT-VR+Ampeg 810 (or Hughes&Kettner combo at home)

In the Feedback Loop of the Truly Beautiful Disaster:Send->DOD Buzz Box (2-Octave Down/Buzzy Distortion)->DOD Gonkulator Modulator(Ring Modulator/Overdrive)->DOD Meat Box (Subharmonc EQ)->Digitech XP-300 Space Station (For all kinds of spacey stuff...weird backward delay, pitch shifting, sequencers...)->Feedback Loop Return

Terrorstorm, that is a BADA$$ board!

:bassist: Thanks, man! :smug::smug:

I think, I have to do some sound clips of some of these pedals..

More like you do need to make some clips of those pedals.:D

How are the Gator G-Bus power suppies? Im looking at getting one because its best value for $$ and has the 18volt adapters. Does it introduce any unwanted current hum into the signal?

Heeyyy..guess who forgot to subscribe? :ninja:

Yeah, the gator sounds great, absolutely silent everywhere I've been. (since the the 28th, at least) I haven't needed the 18v yet, but I've been thinking about getting a Blowtorch, so that might come in handy.

Sorry for the late reply..........rehearsals are taking over my life! Haha!

The Timefactor is fantastic, no downsides with it at all so far apart from I'm too dumb to use it to it's full potential!:D There are soooooo many sound possibilities onboard from pristine/clear delays to muddy tape and glitchy sounds. Also, there is modulation built in for Flanging/Chorus etc. All great fun and adjustable on the fly.

P.S. Your board looks like great fun!

latest pic. i removed the Bass Synth Wah cos i'm not using it that much. waiting for my analogman mini chorus, VFB and my new pedalboard. maybe i'll add a Rat to mix with Pog through VFB.

Here's my little new comer, the infamous Dunlop Bass Wha, thanks to Lebowsky! Seems like an older version, I couldn't find the internal trimpot which is said to set the delay setting the pedal uses to bypass the signal in toe-up position.

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/2337/boardinlj4.jpg

Actually, I am thinking about modding the Bass Balls the same way chadshorebird did :D

oohh, old bass chorus-- soundclips?

Unfortunately, I don't have the appropriate equipment to record soundclips :(

All I can say about this old Boss Chorus is that it's the only chorus I've ever owned, and it's pretty smooth and light. Very natural and organic tone, not too thick, that's what I was looking for. Works great combined with a muddy and dirty fuzz or a crunchy overdrive. Extreme settings can provide a cool vibrato kind of sound. :D

What are those other two knobs on the bassballs?

As I said in a previous Post Your Pedalboard thread, this is a very common mod on US and Russian Bass Balls. :) Basstyra from the french board OnlyBass is the guy behind the work.

Actually, those two knobs are just extensions of the internal trimpots which control the frequencies of the filters. One is for the higher frequences, the other one for the lower frequencies. This enables to use the Bass Balls in a much more accurate way, controlling the reaction of the frequencies and creating a wide range of different sounds, very organic and unique. With delay, it just sounds like you're an LSD rocket launched on Jupiter. :D

Unfortunately, this mod can't be done on recent Nano Bass Balls, because of the tiny chassis of those pedals :/

Sounds interesting, by the way great pedalboard. I have a DOD 250 on the way from musicians friend, how do you use yours?

I know you didn't ask me, but I'll stick my nose in anyway *L*

I use mine for very subtle grit and mild overdrive tones.

I use mine for very subtle grit and mild overdrive tones.

That exactly what I want out of it, what settings do you use?

Same as bassman314 about the DOD 250: it works great for a crunchy and gritty tone. Works very good with my Stingrays and Jazz Bass. Usually, I set the gain at between 10 and 12 o'clock, and the level between 11 and 1 o'clock.

I love to combine it with my envelop filters, or the MXR Phase 90, things get very sloppy, liquid and swooshy!

Hmm, an EP-1 on the board and a Moog LowPass Filter and a Meatball off to the side. Certainly says a lot about how good the Pigtronix sounds. I love mine.

That FT-2 must be very nice. I know because the dynamic filter setting on my Boss ME-6B is pretty much the same thing. Very funky:bassist:

I have the gain set until my nose hairs start to tingle, then adjust the volume to match between on and off...

but seriously, the Gain is set around 1-2 o'clock...

You're darn right. As much press as the Meatball gets, the EP1 is just more usable in a live setting for me. All the pigtronix pedals are just so user friendly and musical. You can tell that they're made by someone who knows and loves music.

That said, I'm still holding onto the meatball too!!

This is a prime example of how different we can be.
I like the Meatball + Psilocybe better than the EP1.

I've added a couple new toys.

The Jet Phase and Tonefactor 442 aren't hooked up because I ran out of patch leads. And a few of the pedals aren't hooked up to daisy chains because I've run out of those too!

In the next few weeks I'll be ordering some more power supply stuff. I have to buy a whole new unit so I can power my Jet Phase.

I've also got some pedalboard fabric/carpet stuff on the way. This will mean I can finally stick and unstick pedals from the board more freely, instead of constantly sticking down little bits of velcro on it.

So here it is!
