Rate my board

[_One//Man//Mutiny_]

I would put at least one of your dirt pedals before the dimension!

Looks ad hock and messy. An ok first effort. Other than blatant flaws mentioned already there's supposed to be a foot pedal on the right acording to the velcrow pattern. Never use two straight end chords, both should be angled and flat cables are best by far. (Look into it) There's no tone shaping, a poor/mediocre fuzz, no compressor, no envelope, not a great chorus...not one effect is state of the art. except the tuner (and I don't put a tuner wasting space on my board, I always tune before playing). Excuse me, I apologise, Ive been watching Bar Rescue today. One place had a 130' beer tap line that warmed the beer so it came out foam. Like a bass Big Muff does.

Quick derail but it's laughable how little Taffer actually knows about draught systems. There's nothing wrong with 130' of tubing if it's properly balanced. It's not really any "warming" that's causing the foaming, it's more so the imbalance of distance and head pressure on the keg.

One time I saw him tearing into a bartender for not "tipping the glass" for a Guinness... complaining about foam and carbonation of a beer that's not even carbonated and is SUPPOSED to be poured straight into the glass.

OK. He does a show. But my contention that bass big muff sounds like beer foam stands. When people say, "I turned it on and my volume dissapeared" it's usually about a muff fuzz.

Wait, why do you need to upgrade the tuner? The TU-2 is a perfectly cromulent tuner.

The TU-2 embiggens the smallest pedal board.

I give it a 7. For $10, I'll tell you what scale that's on.

The only thing wrong with a TU2 is that there are tuners nowadays that work just as well in less real estate.

Nice board. Thinking of effects makes me wish that somehow BOSS or MXR/Dunlop or one of the new small pedal makers could somehow license from the GE and Rockwell archives the R+D to make a pedal version of the Turbo-Encabulator specifically for bass. THAT would be something.

I don’t know your primary genre, but I’m guessing doom/stoner/speed/industrial etc., given all the tonal distortions and delay going on with your pedal. I regularly play the fairly commonplace wide-coverage rock/blues/country bar-level gig and I can say that I personally wouldn’t have any of those pedals aside from the tuner for my schtick. My pedal rig is simplistic yet versatile enough to keep my sound pretty much the same regardless of venue size, shape, playing climate, yada…. And it generally gets turned on, tweaked, and left to fly for the night. So MY rating of YOUR rig for MY purposes would be about 1 out of 10. For your use case it may well be 10 of 10.

Hey! Don’t you bad-mouth my taste in fine Velcro!

Your board looks a lot like I chose your pedals, I could swap with you and we'd both have good nights, haha. Except for that velcro.

 

[Vincent Van Low]

Finally put my bass effects on a board.

The pedals are fine...I hate that boss delay for anything..but you must have a specific thing. Its been mentioned but your power supply should be mounted underneath for ease of use. The pedals look not placed with much care on your board, they are hanging off the sides and the cables could/should be upgraded. I would rate this as a 4/10, sorry dude...you asked.

 

[DaveParker39]

9/10 pedals
7/10 power supply (it's isolated, so I am not gonna judge it by the brand name)
1/10 layout

 

[Polardog]

I personally would run the delay right after the chorus, which puts the Microtubes last (it is a preamp, right...?)

 

[Jinbu]

Pedals look cool, tidy it up and I give it a thumbs up. And of course heres the last iteration of mine before I downsized to an hx stomp.

you prolly right. I'm not a fan of TU2 bypass..
most people don't have a good sense of Pitch.. so it prolly don't matter..
But I'm a fan of strobe tuning.. also with the new Peterson mini strobe.. It's seems like a no brainer..

just my two bits..

Oh yes the old Turbo Encabulator schtick.

 

[GreyBeard]

If it does what YOU want it to do no matter how ugly it may be, then it gets a great rating from you. What I think doesn't matter.

 

[Killing Floor]

Need more pedals. And a bigger board and then even more pedals. It’s a trap.

Pro tip Re: nobles - I just tape a few crisp hundos to a decent di, currently a whirlwind. It still lets folks know you’ve got it like that, does nothing for your tone and doesn’t have an annoying blue light.

A few hundos? You’re about a grand short.
