    Shin-ei Companion FY-2

    Agreed. I spent a great deal of time looking for an authentic FY-2, not to mention some good money to obtain it. When I finally got to play with it and after playing National Anthem a hundred times for a couple of weeks, curiosity was satisfied. The ultimate "one trick pony". I found it too blah...

    Pedalboard power supply???

    IMHO, been using 2 - VL PP2+ for the past 4 years and no problematic hum or grounding problems. If you're running multiple pedals, save your money and invest in a QUALITY power supply! You're regrets will soon be proven irrational.

    VT Bass being discontinued. What next and is it right for me?

    Well, there you are. It seems to me that the real question you should be asking yourself is, "which effect out there will make my SVT 3Pro sound like a 'real' SVT? The discontinued pedal statement is more of a curiosity/rumor issue.

    the best bass overdrive/distorsion?!!-darkglass electronics b3k

    Regardless of the price and lack of cord, and from the official video clip, I have to say that this stomp is impressive! I almost always avoid topic headings with "Best OD" because of too many opinions without stating the applicable use. But I can see using this one in a number of ways. GASing...

    high quallity cables

    Lava cable patch kit is worth looking at. It's a solderless system that's has the thinnest 1/4" right angle jack available. The cable is thin and well balance. I use them on my rig and have never gone back. There are others but I liked how this worked for bass. You'll find this and other high...

    Experimental pedal genius?

    Sounds like you're looking for a way around the ear plug thing but the benefits still outweigh the inconveniences. Plus, there's nothing sexy about a 35 year old man constantly saying "HEH?!", "WHAH?!", or "I'M SORRY?!" The way I do it is I do a tone check and pedal tweak without the ear...

    live dubstep

    Daaaaaamn, you're killin' me! That 5th one was dope. They're all very creative flashes of fun, leaving us wanting some more. Only one problem, though. Now I'm gassing an M9.

    How To Use Bass Chorus ?

    I use the Boss Bass Chorus also. I find it most useful and noticeable in a trio (drums, bass, guitar) to supplement with some dirt (I also have an MXR DI+). It really fills up those chorus parts of a song. The chorus on bass is not really audible in a 2 screaming guitar band. Frankly, to my...

    Pedalboard Wiring???

    It really is as easy as plugging an instrument cable into your guitar, the other end to a pedal, patch cable (6" is most common) in between each pedal, instrument cable connected out of the last pedal, and into the input of the amp. Secondly, you'll have to figure out how to power all your...

    fuzz(y) that deals with complex chords?

    Here, here! The ODB-3 is not the most "sexy" of it's kind but it can be made to sound hairy. It's versatile, works with cords, compact, and inexpensive. Analog? Eeeehh. I have others but as a bassist, don't find myself playing many cords. No use for them most of the time. But I've gone there...

    Order of pedals

    Generally, there are no rules for the order of guitar effects pedals. IME, it really depends how you use them in your music. But just in case you want something of a guideline, this one makes it simple. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    Effects guide?

    If saving money means something to you then LISTEN TO THE TB ADVISERS. Also, listen to your favorite bassist(s). What is their sound? How do they get there? If you don't know, ask these guys. In a more related sense, tuner is the correct 1st buy. Everything else should be tried at your local...

    Distortion

    I use an LoopMaster ABY like the LS-2, sometimes a LoopMaster true bypass looper strip and separate distortion/OD pedals from the clean bass. But it sounds like you have your mind set on a pedal. Questions now is how much do you want to spend?:hmm:

    mini ELC, Monorail, or other

    I appreciate this thread much so now than when I was on a quest for the "best" cable. And I see what you were trying to get to, Livingstone. But bongomania's 3rd paragraph nailed the relevance, and maybe the answer to this thread (not that this was the original topic). About a year ago, I also...
