Double Bass pedal board

[Adam Booker]

Got tired of hauling AMT, Tuner, EQ and pre amp all in a bookbag, so went and got a pedal board. Danged ol' ART tube MP made a bunch of noise, so it didn't make the cut, but now I have all my "toys" in one over-the-shoulder bag and at my toe-tips. anyone else have experience with this?

oh yeah, running Fishman preII-tuner-eq-Acoustic image (or some unnamed amp at school). Also on the board I attached the AMT pre.

Really cleans up my stage footprint. Boss is happy.

Later.

appreciate the invite! I was told in no uncertain terms that the addition of flanger, delay, chorus, loop-station, etc. would be grounds for instant dismissal from the band and the upright bass community at large. But... Morley A/B switch and maybe sans amp DI are in my future...

You realize there's no turning back!

You're more than welcome in the Effects forum any day! We're not paticular about what's plugged into them.

I'd look for other than the Morley switch. It's passive and uses resistors to ground to avoid popping. The result is reduced output from your instrument and a certain impact on your tone. Yes, it does have a battery, but that's only to power the indicator LEDs.

I've been successful with a Boss A/B pedal. Low cost, sturdy, minimal impact on the sound and runs forever on AAA batteries.

Lehle, Lehle,Lehle! I have had these switchers on my board for a long time. You will never have to buy another. The led's have magnifiers so you can see them in the daylight and they are built like tanks. Worth every penny!

I would definitely choose an active buffered AB box over a passive one.
