    EQD Special Cranker

    I'm into it. I keep it on all the time into an 800 RB with a 4x10. P bass w a pick. Gives a good bit of a natural sounding grit with the MORE and none More and aggressive playing that cleans up with a lighter touch. Works well in my band. Helps get the cranked amp sound without the bandmate...

    What's your rig of choice for this weekend? Part 2.

    Only playing through half this stuff. The 370 is driving the top 4x10. The rest is just backup stuff. Prac pad shot. Sounded so good the drummer even noticed.

    Who only uses 1 or 2 effects with a band?

    Our guitar player has a board the size of Kentucky that may be self aware and I swear I saw it floating once, so anything I was trying to shoehorn in didn't get through the mix. So I just use a boost and Rat these days! It's been fun cuz I used to always have a board that's like 10 to 15 pedals...

    For the Love of RATs!

    It's going to the grave with me. That's my home and recording Rat. It's within the first 50 Ryan made. I've stepped on it so much that now it gets to enjoy live show retirement. The Woodcutter is on my live board.

    Show me your compact pedalboard setup

    Sounds like a really good vintage Rat. No bells and whistles. Love it. I use it for more grind when the amp/booster/my hands can't produce the gnarl. Kinda found a setting that works and stuck with it.

    Insane buzz/hum with new amp - why he do me like dat?

    That kinda buzz usually means a ground wire is disconnected. Have your bass looked at by a tech. If you're handy with a soldering iron, it's an easy fix.

    Pedalboards of the Stars: Part IV

    Hells yeah. I'm trekking from the Mitten to Chicago for that one. My old old OLD band opened for TAAS on their final tour in Pontiac. Great dudes. Brian is a sweetheart. Same band opened for Widows before Easy Pain came out. Mind blowers!
