Roast my rig!

[H13]

This is my pedalboard.

It's running into a 1970s Silverface Fender Bassman 100
Which is then running into a 1x12AV Ampeg SVT Cab

From these things, I can make the following noises.

Clean: Bass -> Amp, no pedals


Clean-ish: Bass -> Sansamp -> Amp


Rock: Bass -> Sansamp -> Jam Pedals Rattler (Rat) -> Amp


Metal: Bass -> Sansamp -> VT Bass -> Amp


Fuzz: Bass -> Morley Fuzz Wah -> Sansamp -> VT Bass -> Amp


Each clip was reamped (obviously) through the above pedals. Cab was mic'd up with a Mojave MA-300 Tube mic.

Thoughts? Loves? Hates? Suggestions? I'd like to get some more "zing" out of the Rattler, but if I increase the gain it gets woofier rather than...zingier.

Your rig is so dumb... (how dumb is it?)

It makes your guitarists rig look like Einstein.

Sorry, I got nothing real.

 

[H13]

Your rig is so dumb... (how dumb is it?)

I AGREE. The way I'm stacking gain here kinda makes my eye twitch and makes me go: "That shouldn't work"

BUT IT SEEMS TO SOUND GREAT.

I THINK. Speaking as a guitar player more than a bass player.

You don't even want to know.

Don’t usually do the “roast” thing here….

just curious why you have a DI near the start of the chain? But I guess doesn’t matter as you are just running all into a head and can anyway?
Of you want more grind you could boost the sand amp gain into the rattler?

Hey, if it works, it works! The beauty with sound design is that it's all subjective.

And so is your rig's face. Ha, burn!

 

[richntiff]

Ok I’ll give it a go…

first three tones are so similar you’d never distinguish in a live setting. Your clean tone isn’t clean. Last two tones are great! (Oops, not a roast)

But seriously. That pedalboard? Dude. Unfinished PINE? And DRYWALL SCREWS? OMG ***??? What WERE you thinking??

ok, how did I do? I’m not much of a roaster……

 

[Killing Floor]

Your rig has an afro with a chin strap.

Your rig is so nasty the bar back mats at Clermont Lounge swipe left.

Also, nice rat and flanger. Homemade boards are the only way to go.

 

[BioDriver]

I've seen less of a rat's nest in Congress than whatever you've got going on with your wiring.

 

[ebo]

If those pedals are taped down you should have your eyes examined. I’d have raised the board to get the 1 spot underneath, the wiring looks like a 70’s man bush. I’ve had hickeys from hookers that looked classier than this… You asked for it.

Krylon Satin Black spray paint. $6.98 at Walmart.

 

[fourfinger]

You've got nails on the left side, and Phillips screws on the right. Reverse them and re-record.

 

[HardNHeavy]

your rig sounds redundant?

 

[Sugarbear08]

There are some perfectly fine devices present, but I too question the sequencing and have concerns about redundancy.

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

Picasso would be proud of that setup.

I dig that rattler

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Your mom sees more action than that pedalboard.

Ding ding ding…we have a winner.

Stuck in the middle...

Sounds great to me.
