My New Pedalboard Plan

I have a tc electronic bg500 combo amp and a squier jazz bass , i play metal, fusion, rock, prog, etc and i hate this site

This is the best sentence I have ever seen on TB.









Also I'd swap the Digitech Chorus for a Boss CE-5. You seem set on the Digitech distortion, but personally I'd go with the Tech 21 XXLB. Artec is a little sketchy on quality (only what I've heard) so maybe the new Dunlop Volume Pedal. I think you can get a very nice boost in the EHX LPB-1 for much cheaper than the Angry Troll. All my opinions.

i've decided screw the lolcats. lolFROGS need to be the next thing.

and since i'm staring at the mailbox, WAITING, every post today is going to mention that my B3k gets here today until it's in my grubby lil mitts.
 
That potential pedalboard seems pretty cool for the type of music you play. As everyone has been saying why the Angry Troll? Unless it's for bass solos, making a fuzz even madder, increasing the volume of pedals with vol lose or/and driving tubes then it's pointless and a waste of space. My recc are as follows:

Tech 21 VT Bass for a good tone-shaper ( had one and loved it but I just use all my other stuff)

Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble: gets a good chorus sound without breaking the bank or space on your board.

Dunlop 105Q Bass Wah-Wah: make your bass talk in Wah language.

A good tuner ( I use a Boss TU-2)

The Artec will die really fast: get an Ernie Ball and you'll be happy trust.

If you want crazy fun and versatile fuzz/synthyish sounds I recc the Tech 21 Red Ripper: got it today and can't stop using it: powerful fuzz with great EQ, and you can get Moogie and Brassmaster type sounds out of it
