    How would you route this board?

    I am looking to explore some more atmospheric and synth/textural playing in the future, and I put together a rough board idea. Trouble is, with multiple effects loops, midi, and technically one too many pedals for the space, I have a lot of options as far as how everything would end up wired...

    Reducing tapdancing without losing flexibility.

    Ahoy. I've come to a weird space in my effects journey where I think it's time to look into MIDI for my setup. I've run into scenarios where I need to switch three effects on my board in the span of a quarter note, and while it's doable, I hate it and am willing to burn money to make it go...

    Interesting short pedals?

    I am in a spot where I have what seems to be the perfect issue: After I did a check on my board and removing things I'm either not happy with or not using, I have a space open to add something new. GAS powers, activate! Now the challenge: I am using a Rockboard that I love, but it absolutely...

    Thunderbird pickups in Ric locations?

    Looking at putting together a Warmorh build this year, and I have been wanting to do something outside the norm for a while. I've seen a lot of people playing with pickup placement, but one combo I can't say I have seen is dual TBird pickups in the Rickenbacker positions. Any thoughts on how...

    What's the next frontier in pedals?

    Even in my short time in the musical world, I've seen a number of thing that broke new ground in how pedals were used to twist and turn sounds in brand new ways. Digital pitch shifting from EHX, Strymon hitting the scene with their big box pedals, analog amp sim pedals, all in one digital...

    Three pickup bass - Is this layout dumb?

    Looking at doing a custom bass build, and now I am toying with a three pickup idea. Depending on the body I go with, I am either thinking three soapbars or soapbar/precision/soapbar. Two in the standard jazz or PJ positions, but the third pickup right at the neck heel. My gut is leaning towards...

    SOLD Selling off the collection

    After consolidating some things, refining tastes, and needing to fund a vacation, I am selling off a fair chunk of my collection. All pedals come without box, and with velcro on the back unless otherwise noted. They were all gently used, but used nonetheless. Shipping included everything on...

    What order would you put these reverbs in?

    I have a section of my board that I want to dedicate to reverb, and I have three reverb pedals. An Earthquaker Dispatch Master, and Earthquaker Afterneath, and a Matthews Effects Astronomer. Problem is, I only have room for two of them. The Astronomer is objectively my favorite of the three, so...

    Please help me get over my fear of onboard preamps.

    So far in my life, I am at a 0% success rate with active basses. I have owned two, and both of them had the preamps short out inside of 3 months of owning them. Not a battery issue, as I kept fresh batteries with me and changed at least every 4 months, preamp legit died. Both were at a...

    What's the dumbest reason you did/didn't get a pedal?

    Just ordered up an MXR M85 Distortion the other day, after days of deliberating. I came to a realization on the only actual reason I hadn't ordered it already... It was red. Everything else on my board was either black, silver, or navy blue, and I realized the fact that it would just be a...

    What drive/dirt would you pair with a HOG2?

    Finally picked up a HOG2, and I have a few slots on my board open at the moment for pedals to compliment it. Wondering what I should hunt after as far as a drive or dirt pedal to pair with it. Open to pretty much anything outside of something that requires programming at this point, I have a...

    Converting active to passive - What would you do with the extra controls?

    I am looking at getting a dual soapbar five string, but the model I am into comes with a 3 band preamp, and I don't like active electronics. Just a preference thing, I prefer passive. I'm planning to replace the pickups with Nordstrands, but I am wondering what to do with the control holes that...

    How would you complete this pedalboard?

    Doing a rewire on my direct in board, and I have an idea of a bass/synth pad setup using an OBNE Signal Blender to isolate pedals to separate loops. The rough signal chain would be compressor -> tuner -> booster -> Blender, set up with a loop for the synth pedals and a loop for the bass effects...

    Wampler Belle - Why is no one talking about it for bass?

    I got wind of the Wampler Belle as a transparent drive fairly quickly after announcement, and watched through a few of the first demo videos for guitar. I was super interested, but wanted to hold out for a bass demo. No mentions of it here. I kept looking into it, and even the pedal it is based...

    Streamlining a big board

    Evening, all. I recognize myself as a pedal purchasing junkie, and I am looking for advice on how I can...well, start making my pedals work for me instead of the other way around. Here is the (mostly) current board, built over the past few years: I have a fair chunk of real estate that I'm...

    Have I found an envelope filter sound I like?

    So, I have been fairly firm in my dislike for envelope filters thus far in my bass playing career, mainly due to a distaste for the super sharp "quacky" sound. Nothing wrong with it, just not my style. Then, I came across the Final Fantasy 7 remake, and a track from it caught my attention while...

    Balanced C Standard flats for 35" scale

    Looking for some suggestions on this. I've been playing on balanced string sets ever since I found out about them, and I really don't want to go back to standard tension sets. I just picked up a 35" scale ESP, and I'm hunting for a set of flats I could use and have it set up for C standard...

    I am currently in the process of building my dream, all in one purpose board. Will be the definition of overkill on anything I do. Current process: Chain is currently set to go: Seymour Duncan Studio Bass -> Future Impact -> MXR Bass Octave Deluxe -> DOD Carcosa -> Earthquaker The Depths ->...
