I decided some time ago to build a new bass pedalboard, and when I recently came in to some back pay and an unexpected Christmas bonus, I picked up a few things. My plan to to use all tc electronic mini pedals: Polytune 2 Mini, SpectraComp, BodyRez, and HOF Mini. The HOF Mini and SpectraComp have arrived, and tomorrow I should receive the BodyRez. It 's going to look like this (drawing is to scale):
I dialed in the SpectraComp tonight. I have a nice reverb set up on the HOF Mini, but it really doesn't work as well through a bass amp as it does when hooked up to my guitar amp. I need to tweak it a bit to add some treble response to compensate for my bass amp, but I will be buying a regular HOF for my guitar board, and using the same patch. The BodyRez is because I play a piezo bass, and I have been using a Boss AC-2 Acoustic Simulator, which works fairly well, but is very hissy. I'm hoping the BodyRez doesn't what I want, or I may have to also try the Boss AC-3 and/or new AD-2. The AC-2 is analogue, the AC-3 and AD-2 are both digital.
I'm a big fan of my pedals matching, so if I end up going back to Boss, my board will be a TU-3w (I have a TU-2), a BC-1X, and either the AD-2 or AC-3:
Pictured in the mockup is a Boss BCB-30 case, but I own three BCB-3 cases, so I'd use one of those.
