Is anybody using an Earthquaker Devices Speaker Cranker as on always on tone enhancement? If so does it stack well with other dirt pedals after it? I'm mainly curious how this might sound with a Fuzzrocious Demon or Rat Tail since I usually always have one of these (or both) always on. Any info...

Hey, just got a Mesa Titan and I haven't got to tinker with it very much, but I was having some trouble getting it to be very loud the other day at practice. Each channel has it's own master volume control but there is also a single OUTPUT knob that effects the overall level of both channels...

I'm getting ready to order a Chrimbus fuzz and I've narrowed it down to the Malekko Diabolik or Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer. I know these fuzzes sound nothing alike but they are the same price and a similar footprint size, so I thought it might be worth it to see which one the members of talkbass...

Lately I've been wondering if I need a compressor because I've noticed that my E and A strings are quite a bit louder than the my D and G strings. From what I understand about compressors, it would help even out my string volume, but I have some concerns about using one. Mostly I play bass...

So, I have almost filled up all the space on my PT-2 pedalboard and I'm having trouble deciding what the last spot should be. So far my board is as follows: tuner > EHX POG2 > Digitech Bass Whammy > Fuzzrocious Demon > Fuzzrocious Rat Tail > Fuzzrocious Grey Stache > Wattson EFY-6 > Tech 21 VT...

Thinking about getting a DOD Meat Box or one of the clones from Mantic, like the Beef Bag or maybe even the Density Hulk. My question is, how well do these sub pedals combine with dirt pedals like overdrive/distortion/fuzz? Also, I've heard these sub pedals can be dangerouse on speakers, so...

Lately I've been looking at both of these heads because I figured they would be a good match for my Mesa Powerhouse 2x12 cabs. I know these amps are described as clean but how do they take to effects like overdrive and distortion? I assume they can dirty up pretty nicely if you jam a good pedal...

Today I was messing with the settings on my 800rb after rereading the manual online, and I decided to mess with the master volume and regular volume levels a bit. Usually I set the regular volume (the far left one) and boost to around 2 o'clock and just bring the master (300 watt section) to...

I just got an 80s Fender Jazz Bass Special with the P/J pups and I really like the sounds I can get having both pups, but when I use both pups together or just the jazz pup it gets a little bit noisey when I'm not playing. It isn't really bad until I turn on my dirt pedals but it gets pretty...

Just ordered the New Bass Whammy, and I was wondering if you have to use the power supply it comes with or if you could use a One Spot to power it? It runs at 9 volts. Thanks.

My Boss RV-3 for some reason kills my signal when it is turned off but when it is engaged it works fine. It worked perfectly fine yesterday, which is really strange considering I haven't touched or moved my rig since then. Has anybody ever experienced this problem with Boss pedals, and better...

I just acquired a second Mesa Powerhouse 2x12 cab so I could make a stack. What is the best way to hook these up to my GK 800rb? Should I hook the 8ohm inputs on both cabs to the 800rb or should I use the parallel output on one of the cabs to hook the cabs together and then hook one of the...

If I wanted to run my Rusty Box as a preamp into the effects return on my 800rb, would it be okay to use instrument cables for both connections, or would I need a speaker cable to go from the line out on my rusty to the effects return on my 800rb? Also, when running my rusty like this would it...

I can't seem to find too much literature on the Mesa Boogie Diesel 118 cab. I know the 115 version is well liked around here but what about the 118? I have been in the market for a cab to pair with my Mesa Powerhouse 212 and I might have an opportunity to get the 118 Diesel. Any ideas on how...

The other day I decided to borrow my friend's Boss RV-3 to test out with my bass rig. I've always really liked the sound of a subtle amount of reverb on guitar so I figured it would be cool on the bass as well. So far I really like mode 11 on the pedal which I believe is the plate reverb mode...

So I currently have an 8 ohm Mesa Powerhouse 212 but I want to get a second cab to run with my GK 800rb. I'm trying to decided between a second Mesa 212 or a 115. I know a second 212 will sound great but I kind of like the idea of having a 115 for versatility and portability. Does anybody...

Would I be able to use the Boss FS-5L footswitch for the boost on my GK 800RB?

I'm thinking about getting a Mesa Powerhouse 212 but I can't decide if I want the 8 ohm or the 4 ohm. I don't really think I will be getting another cab because I don't want to haul around that much gear, but I guess I could alway change my mind down the road. My question is how much different...

Currently I have an Ampeg SVT-115EN cab that I use with a Gibson Ripper, GK800RB, Tech 21 VT, Rat Tail, and OCD, but lately I've been thinking about upgrading my cab. It is the only piece of gear I haven't upgraded or changed in a long while so I'd like to see what some other cabs sounds like...

I was thinking about buying a Boss NS-2 to kill some noise I get when using my Rat Tail at higher volumes but I had a couple of questions about the Boss NS-2. Basically I was just wondering if there was a way to hook up the Boss NS-2 without using the send and return jacks. I took a look at...

Okay so I have a few questions about loopers/line selectors. As of right now I'm really loving the distorted sound of my Tronographic Rusty Box going into my Darkglass B3K, but for what ever reason, at the moment, I prefer the clean tone of my Tech 21 BDDI over the Rusty's cleans. Now the BDDI...

I've seen a lot of discussion about the Rusty Box on here but no actual settings for acquiring a tone like David Sims from The Jesus Lizard. So what specific settings do you guys use to simulate his tone? I assume the toggle switch should probably be set to hi, right? For reference check out...
