My New Pedalboard Plan

JetBlackJazz · #1 07-20-2011, 11:11 AM

I checked buying a new bass amp off my list already and i need something else to fit in my tone niche. Ive been searching eyeburingly long and i think ive found a moderate little plan...

Way Huge angry troll (for boost/punch) (when im not using dist)

Artec volume pedal (cheap, versatile)

Digitech bass multi chorus (to thicken my tone/gimme some cool sounds)

Digitech grunge (for grit, od, distortion, etc) dont diss guitar pedals either! this thing is volatile

whatre your opinions/suggestions....

Are you looking for people to comment on the pedals you've selected?

Without knowing what kind of gear you have (bass, amp, cab) and the style of music you play it's hard to really give any sort of response.

I have a tc electronic bg500 combo amp and a squier jazz bass , i play metal, fusion, rock, prog, etc and i hate this site

Sounds cool, although I have no experience with the pedals you've listed.

The thing about effects is that they can become habit forming...I'm happy with what I have but I'm always thinking I might need some more (or just different). It doesn't help that fellow TB'er Behndy (as well as others) always have the newest toys, which leads to massive G.A.S.!!!!

Okay. That being the case why do you want a clean boost like the Angry Troll? I think of a clean boost as a tool for people using tube amps - which more often means guitarists than bassists. Will you be using it to transition from slap to fingerstyle or vice versa? Kicking it on for bass solos?

Overdrive is probably a good choice for any and all of those genres. I'm not a fan of the Digitech Grunge on bass but if it works for you then rock it. If you'd like a low cost replacement that is more bass friendly try a modded Bad Monkey. Chorus could possibly fit in with all those genres too but would most likely be used a lot more sparsely than overdrive.

Too bad you hate TB... I don't think TB hates you. We get a lot inquiries like yours, but it is hard to respond without more info cause pedal boards are so [music style] context dependent.

I hope you continue to engage... and learn.

i would use the boost as a solo tool and volume boost, etc...and i hate this site because everytime i try to share a real problem or something that requires opinion...
"your so ****ing dumb"
"haha you suck
"omg grow up ********"

i overall just hate the sick sarcastic idiots that use this site to vent off of real life and think theyre 1000 feet tall when theyre just little tools in real life

Jared Lash · #9 07-20-2011, 03:35 PM

I don't ever see responses like that on Talkbass. Certainly not that crass. It's part of the reason I like this site. I feel like I go out of my way to try and be helpful, but I suppose we all see things differently.

You're going to get that pretty much anywhere, simply do not let it bother you. Ignore them, there's bound to be a handful of people like that, but out of all the threads I've posted here (not many I might add) I've always had sufficient and very friendly help.

As far as your pedals go, sound like a pretty good set up. Chorus can be put to use very well when used appropriately.

Just a question, could you not just go for a multi-effects pedal?

id prefer to be able to control everything and activate everything directly rather than just tap my foot and get a mushy mix of effects that takes like 1 minute to even fine tune... contrary to popular opinion

lol. i like how somebody tried to be helpful by saying it's way easier to answer with good or useful information if we know what you want to do, what tools you have, or even understand what (if any) question you have and you not only threw in an etc., but "i hate this site".

why you posting here than little Trolly McTrollerton?

s_mcsleazy · #15 07-20-2011, 07:57 PM

i do think the op is kinda missing the point. by pointing out trolls and saying he hates talkbass it does make him a troll.

its a troll singularity

behndy · #16 07-20-2011, 08:23 PM

The Trollagedon is UPON USSSSSS!!!

fitz420 · #17 07-20-2011, 11:31 PM

Hahaha. I actually can't remember the last time I saw such a weird response on tb. Jared is always helpful and honestly the original post doesn't provide enough info to provide accurate help. For example, the angry troll as a front end boost would make perfect sense if u played thru a non master volume tube head like a svt-vr but wouldn't make much sense if u were a Gospel player using an epifani rig. I bet if u gave Jared (and the rest of us) some more info initially u would've got a bunch of helpful advice.

fitz420 · #18 07-20-2011, 11:34 PM

And fwiw the irony behind u using the angry troll is almost too much.

Matt Dean · #19 07-20-2011, 11:41 PM

Maybe the OP got confused about which site he was on.

behndy · #20 07-20-2011, 11:53 PM

doom doom doom doomity doom doom.

question Jared? you DARE question one of the pimpiest pimps of Pimp Town USA?!!?

oh jia. i'm GONNA bring lolcats back. it's my MISSION.
