    Have you ever been fooled by a TalkBass pedal G.A.S. hype?

    in 2011 i fell for the b7k hype... i watched every video, read every post and knew it was the one for me. it's awesome, and i still love it. thank you TB. not sure if it was here or on ILF, but i never could love my hype zvex wooly mammoth purchase.

    Pedaltrain MINIs United Again!

    It's been a long time since I last posted, let alone changed my board. These days I just have jam sessions with my neighbours and the occasional gig in town. There's less need for wireless but I love it and couldn't live without such luxury. I do wonder how effective the thumpinator is in a...

    What amp do you use?

    I have an SVT-III Pro that I used to happily use without any effects for about 3 years. Then I had a band change, and started to experiment with a much more modern scooped tone, which saw the acquisition of a few pedals (m-80 then b7k, compressor, chorus). It was about this time I upgraded from...

    rack or floor tuner

    i'd also like to put forward my vote for the rack tuner (fender rt1000). in the past i used to have my 2u rack with amp and a whole lotta pedals including a line6 wireless and boss tu-2, but as much as i love stomping on pretty little boxes, for me it's about convenience and more floor room for...

    Show your Rack... mount!!!

    as you can see from the photos, i don't even have mine on the ground when i play! the pedals are always-on (and i don't use the chorus live anyway) so it's just like having a two piece rack (hah), only a few more cords required with the bonus of being a lot lighter. i am already finding the...

    Show your Rack... mount!!!

    this is pretty much perfect for what i need it for - no rack changes incoming! pedal changes... oh we all know what happens there don't we?

    New: HardWire V-10 Power Block

    i think many others would disagree about the difference in their sound by using an isolated power supply over a 1spot.

    I finally finished my pedalboard!

    if you're anything like the majority of the wonderful tb community, i'd say that 'i finally finished my pedalboard' are some famous last words!

    Do you take nice pedals to dive venues?

    seeing as i'm the sort of bass player who uses 'always-on' pedals (compressor/b7k/thumpinator) i just rest it on the top of my rack enclosure, which is on top of my cab. for the past year of gigging i haven't ever touched my pedal board to tweak settings! i've found the tone that i love and just...

    Can't decide what effect to buy :(

    for that part, i'd go for something that cuts right though instead of becoming lost - personally i wouldn't go for delay and maybe some gnarly overdrive or eq'd flange. in a band with tunes like yours i think chorus or delay would sound a bit weird, but that's just me. using a pick there would...

    PYPB 39: San kyu, san kyu very much.

    my WM just arrived in the mail today, been playing around with it for the past hour and i love it. what a wonderful girlfriend, buying it for me! as you can see i haven't wired it up yet, i'm waiting on a voltage doubler to arrive so that i can give the compressor a bit of extra headroom...

    free bump for the OP, this is the most amazing pedal i have ever owned and if i could make babies with mine, i would.

    Yet another pedal order question

    My pedalboard is pretty small, as I currently only use my compressor and darkglass b7k, but there's a definite difference when switching the two around. I run the compressor into the b7k, and for me this results in a much nicer sound. The way I think about it is that my dynamics get compressed...
