    If you can only one pedal to a gig/recording; Which one do you take?

    Is saying that I’m taking my HX Stomp cheating? If so then I’d probably get a Darkglass Vintage Ultra v2

    New Empress Compressor MKII

    Oh man that looks awesome! I've since gone to an HX Stomp instead of an analog board with my Empress Compressor, but this makes me miss it and I'd love to add this to my board.

    Nordstrand 51 Split Pickups

    Huh, I actually the sound of these in this videos, but I like that lack of high end and always play flats partly for that purpose. I bought a Squier '51 reissue P-bass to try out the '51 P sound, and found I like it but also would like the parallel pickup sound you get from a J as well...

    Sansamp vt vs darkglass vintage ultra

    I've since moved away from my Vintage Ultra and now own an HX Stomp. Still use the Obsidian which is closer to the B7k. I'll see if I can drum something up that might help visualize it.

    New bass help short arms

    Yes jazz basses will generally have a narrower spacing than most P Basses, and that's mainly due to the nut width but I'm not sure they're actually diffferent at the bridge. There's no reason not to get a short scale if that's what you want. I think the new Fender Mustang bass seems pretty...

    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    HX Stomp replaced my Darkglass Vintage Ultra and Neunaber Iconoclast (before that Torpedo CAB). I also use it for bass and guitar on a small board with 3 other pedals (bass drive, guitar drive, Neunaber Slate with EXP in the loop for an auxiliary effect that takes a block but almost not DSP)...

    Accidental Band Names- what did YOU hear today?

    The host band ruined the jam.

    Just to play devil's advocate I have a guitar that I keep tuned down a half step for action reasons. I pretty commonly forget that it's tuned down a half step until I go to play with people or a recording. I think part of the reason I remember is that I'm able to realize that I forget and...

    Line 6 HX Stomp

    I sold almost all of my pedals to get a Helix (they didn’t have the stomp at the time which is what I had always imagined for a perfect form factor for me). I kept those extra pedals with the intent of integrating with the Helix but never did because: 1. It created too much hassle bringing a...

    Line 6 HX Stomp

    You could set the pedal to stomp mode in the global settings which gives the first 2 switches the ability to be set to turn an effect or group of effects on/off. Footswitch 3 on the right is assignable to a number of different functions: 1. Tap/tuner 2. 3rd stomp slot 3. Snapshot bank up or...

    Sansamp vt vs darkglass vintage ultra

    I think I get pretty wooly sound from the Vintage Ultra, but I have no experience with the VT. It has a lot of control over the EQ, and the switches make a big difference. Boosting in the 500Hz range, and cutting the high mid at 1.5kHz and turning treble lower than that is usually what I do and...
