My First Real Board

[Gilsdorf]

So after many years of only using overdrive, and going through many different pedals that I never really felt necessary, I finally have found an appreciation for modulation. I just got myself a Danelectro Fab Chorus to go along with my Joyo Ultimate Drive and Voodoo Octave, and its been tonal bliss. I love the little nuances that I can get, and I'm excited to keep building up! I'm thinking my next pedal is going to be a delay. I already know that I like digital, but I need some advice on what people are using. I kinda like the MXR Carbon Copy, but I'd like to know what everyone else loves (and why).

TL;DR I'm after a digital delay to round out my board, and I want opinions and advice. Thanks for reading!

The Carbon Copy is analog, isn't it? I have one. Use it on one song. Never been a huge fan of time based effects on bass.

I think it is actually. I know that way back in the day I used my buddies DD-6 on his guitar and I loved the super long delay. Figure I could do some ambient stuff with it. To be honest I really like the carbon copy because of the oscillation mayhem it can cause. May sound silly but I think that stuff is cool B)

If you want digital and oscillation mayhem, then I'd suggest the Caroline Kilobyte. It won't give you super long delay time though.

How long of delay times would you need? Akai Headrush would be a good option. Long delay times. Built in looper and self oscillating.

105q cry baby bass wah
mxr bass octave deluxe
mxr bass fuzz deluxe
mxr brick
planet wave cables

mxr bass fuzz = only effects the mids/highs and i could boost the dry if a want.

mxr bass octave = one of the best sounding octave pedals and it tracks really well. when i play higher in the neck, i usually has this on. i'm in a trio, so someone has to be playing the lower notes.

105q cry baby bass wah = one of the best bass wahs. decent price and tone. i'm still trying to figure out how i'm going to use it in our band. i've made some good tones withthe wah before the fuzz. it easier to use the wah after the fuzz. i'll move the wah after the fuzz, if i find i need that kind of wah sound during a song i use fuzz. anything before the wah will make the wah bigger. i have my wah before the octave, because the wah hardly effects the octave below note. i could wah higher on the neck and the lower note the octave produces will not be effected.

Congrats and you do realize you just ignited an inextinguishable GAS fire that will burn bright from now on.
