Sign in to disble this ad
Am I sick? I don't feel warmer than usual. It is an odd feeling I have, but I am actually content with my bass FX board and how it fits in with the two churches I play at each weekend.
Micro Thumpinator
Tuner
Growler (Flanger in Channel 2 insert)
EQ
That is the pedal chain. As much as I thought I wanted a Malekko AD (or similar) or 3Leaf Proton, I don't actually NEED them. And I am certain I could make use of an FEA Opti-FET if they ever come back into stock, but still not NEEDED.
This is a nice peaceful feeling I am having. It is weird!

The DHA that I ordered 6 weeks ago made it (as you know Mr Moar Knobz!!). Definately going to cause some shuffling on my board. Why do I buy and sell the same pedal twice (IE QF2 is probably going to have to go now....I can't have $700 worth of OD/Distortion on my board and they both are big).
Please let me return to a settled place with my effects like I was 2 days ago! |

I mean, sure there are toys and stuff that I would take and tool around with if someone gave them to me. But, I wouldn't put them in my chain and I no longer seek out that missing piece.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Gainesville,FL | | | I think my problem is that I have $1000 worth of fuzz,OD, and Distortion and it is only 3 pedals. It seems very indulgent, especially since I am a "poor college student" and my lady and I just bought a house. |

|  | Holding the Line, Low, Loud & Proud | | Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: Leander, TX (outside Austin) | | | Since going to a smaller (but crammed*) board i am very happy at performances getting the sounds I want w/o the confusion. At that I have several variations mainly switching out the 2 fuzz options. Honestly I don't see ever gigging with the big board anymore but you never know.
* ok so 11 pedals is not exactly streamlined..... |

My final setup is...
tuner
delay
chorus
fuzz
compression
DI

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Ennui | | | I'm enjoying that feeling, too. This was one of the most rewarding quests ever, and I'm sort of pleased that I'm done. That doesn't mean I'm done with effects, as I'm now interested in learning as much about chorus pedals as I can, and use my gift of wordsmith-ery to entertain at least thirty people on a very specific forum on the Internet.
