I tend to pick and choose effects depending on my mood ( sorry,I mean the requirements of the gig ;) ), but this is usually the maximum set up I use. Apologies it isn't wired up, I haven't needed them much lately and couldn't be bothered to hunt down the patch cables:

The signal goes POG>PD7 distortion>CF7 chorus/flanger>Danelectro reverse delay>Boss SYB3 synth>DOD DFX94 delay>Boss Loop Station ( the footswitch is for reversing the loops).

After that it goes through a Bespeco volume pedal and into the amp.

Hi Stingus. It's a great pedal. Basically it's just a bunch of sliders:

Direct signal, down an octave, up an octave, detuned up an octave, up two octaves and detuned up two octaves

plus a low pass filter ( which isn't of geat benefit for bass stuff) and input level.

You can mix then however you want so it's great for normal octaver sounds as well as 8- and 12-string simulations, OTT guitar noises and even a passable impression of a church organ. The tracking is superb and the octave down works well at least down to G on the E string, plus it's polyphonic so you can play chords without it getting upset. By combining the detuned and regular octaves,you get some really bizarre sounds that sound like a phaser an octave above the bassline.

Cheers,
Alun

It's a bit pricey, but I'm really pleased with it.

Hi Mo'Phat,
I like what I see :hyper:

Out of Curiosity - where do you purchase the Danish EMMA products in the US?

Hey Beammeup, I got the Discumbobulator from a TB-er (Ed Iglewski - and I can't remember his username to save my life!). It was domestic, and I don't know where he got it beforehand. But, they sell Emma products at www.godlyke.com and www.pedalgeek.com, and routinely come up on eBay, etc.

Oddly enough...I'm test driving a Bass PodXT Pro right now...So far I'm loving it. If, in fact, I love it enough to sell off my pedals to finance a backup, you'll be seeing it in the classifieds here. :D

Hmmm-k?

so, I have my:

1- DOD Bass Compressor
2- Big Muff PI (Black-Russian)
3- Boss CB-2 Bass Chorus
4- Ibanez PH7 Tonelok Phaser
...
5- ... STILL LOOKING ... Bass Wah
...

:help: BTW: Do those POwered Pedalboards add noise to your sound? because of the transformer proximity to the pedals?

Here's mine:

I go into a Lehle Dual A/B since my Millennia pre-amps do not have a tuner out or a footswitchable mute.A-out goes to a Peterson Strobo Stomp tuner(I don't use it as a mute because I feel that it degrades my tone),B-OUT goes to my rig.The Roland midi controller controls a TC Electronic 2290.

Here is my current setup. Details below the pic.

Pedalboard.jpg


The board is, of course, a Pedal Train.

From bottom right, my DOD 250, which I am using as a preamp for my Nordstrand SC5, which isn't as loud as my other basses. It is also an excellent, inexpensive overdrive.

That goes into input B on my Morely A/B switch(garage sale goodness for $1). I plug one of my other basses directly into A.

Next is my custom 2 Loooper with blend knob on input 2.

Loop one goes to my EHX Black Finger compressor, and then to the Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus(9.6 volt model).

Loop two goes to my DOD FX75C flanger, and then to my HAO Rust Ride distortion. The direct output from the Rust Ride goes into one of the channel two returns, and the effect output goes to the other channel two return. This allows me to get the tubey like goodness of the Rust Ride, while retaining bottom end. The blend control on the Loooper works very well with the Rust Ride.

Then of course the out on the Loooper goes to my EA iAMP 800 and Schroeder 1210 setup.

Power is provided by a Home Depot surge protected power strip, and a Godlyke Powerall adapter.

The Danelectro and EHX use proprietary power supplies, that's what the two wallwarts are for.

I am eventually getting a more compact A/B switch, so that I can arrange the board a little better. The way it is arranged now allows me to get to the switches I use the most, and still allows room to plug a straight plug into the A/B switch.

Or, I guess I could invest in an instrument cable with an angled end, and a few more angled end patch cables.

OK, Here it is finally , the end to my GAS for pedals, love to get some feedback, but for the stuff I'm doing, mostly R & B I think I'm pretty set!
No need for distortion in the stuff I'm playing and I figure the SB1 covers my Auto-wah jones pretty good. I use the DL 4 mostly with the frettless, and it sounds great.
