    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 Gradual Inch is probably the greatest garage band name I've ever heard lol

    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...

    Darkglass - Alpha Omega

    If I was going to own just one pedal for bass this would be it because it can do everything I'd need (except for tuning and fun effects). It's an amazing backline, and for a lot of people if they're not using things like chorus, octavers, and reverb (and even for some those who do), this would...

    Here's my board. I'm using the Iconoclast to essentially clone a 3Sigma Audio SVT 8x10 impulse response, and I can tweak it based on the room which is really nice! Right now the Iconoclast, Polytune Mini, and Neunaber Echelon (using for chorus not delay) migrate between my bass and guitar...

    Official Darkglass Club Pt. IV- The Revolution!!

    I recently picked up a Vintage Ultra from a member of this forum and have been running a VMT as a preamp for long time now. I play at my church and we only go direct and now I have 4 footswitchable levels of dirt! Before I only essentially had one because who wants to turn off their Darkglass...

    Official Darkglass Club Pt. IV- The Revolution!!

    I've had a Vintage Microtubes for a while, and am about to pickup a Vintage Ultra to go along with it. It's been amazing by itself to be honest without any EQ into a cabinet simulator. The limitation I'm excited to get around now is having no EQ, and only being able to activate one drive sound...

    Fly Rig power supply

    I'm grabbing a One Spot and a couple of Gigrig Isolators to stick under a Metro 16. They will be powering 7 pedals. I can also get a Volto if I want to power them as well. Another option would be the Truetone CS6, Cioks DC5, and new Strymon Zuma R300 and Ojai R30 all depending on what you want...

    Your Always On Compressor

    I use an Empress compressor always on, and also use it for guitar too. It's generally set to the 4:1 ratio, with attack as fast as possible. I try to set it for a pretty consistent -4 to -6 db reduction which seems to work well for fingerstyle and picking. I don't play slap live (though I enjoy...

    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    It's actually a VM 1 that I picked up used at GC. It's passive which is ok with me because I've got buffers in front and behind it, but the only thing that has bugger me is that it has a battery bay for the active switching between the normal and tuner outputs. I don't use the tuner output at...

    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    This is my combo bass and guitar board. I just run a Sadowsky preamp off to the side because it won't work with velcro anyway because of the feet, and I have a plug for it that stays wrapped up in between the slats on my board. My most commonly used pedals for bass are my Empress Compressor and...

    Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

    Out of curiosity has anyone tried an Eight10 yet? From reading the specs it sounds amazing, and completely unnecessary for me, but I just want to live vicariously from someone who has lol.

    Sadowsky Outboard Pre/DI with One Spot?

    I've powered it with my Voodoo Labs PP2+ and using just a battery. Both worked fine, but with both the XLR out is extremely noisy. I believe I've powered it with a One Spot before as well, but by itself, and still the same issue.

    Removing 2 of 4 tubes to get a bit more tube drive?

    If your cab is 8 ohms, you'd need to plug into a 4 ohm output on the head. This is because in a push/pull power amp using 4 tubes the 2 tubes on each side are in parallel, and thus they have half of the impedance that 1 tube on each side would. The output transformer only knows ratios, so since...

    Baer ML-112 high resell rate?

    One thing that I think is likely another contributing factor to the resell rate is that he has recently released a version 2 of the ML112, and is working on a version 2 of the ML212. He may have also redone the ML115, but I'm not sure. I've heard of a few members owning and keeping both...

    A question of 'sag'...to sag or not to sag...

    I personally don't like sag in the power supply, (at least not for solid state amps, but a little is nice in a tube amp). You can still design a preamp that will compress a bit when it starts to get hairy, it won't be due to a lack of current given the preamp tubes, but there are things you can...
