Show me your compact pedalboard setup

I love the demos I’ve seen, but none have been bass focused. I seems like it tracks well at the lower frequencies. I’m interested in what settings you use. How does it enhance the bass function in a band for you? I’m afraid I’ll buy it, have fun with it at home, and never use it on stage.

So for me, I’m really into big ambient spaces (as if you couldn’t tell from my selections). I have really stuck to two modes. Poly and Arp.

With Poly I use this to have a strings like background for parts of my band’s songs that don’t have bass, but are very synth heavy. With the mix knob, I can blend in or out the amount of bass I want present.

With the arp, I use this for fillers in between songs. This allows for easier transitions because I can play one note and with the sustain high they will keep going until I turn off the pedal.

My band just to give you an idea of context:


All of this being said, I recommend looking at this guy. His stuff has been using the Enzo on bass primarily and gets a good subby bass sound.



Overall, I’d reccomend this for any band situation in which you already have synths. If there aren’t really any being used, I’d pass.
 
Ok I finally got to test this puppy out. HUGE tone for such a tiny foot print. This will definitely be my ampless/travel/flyboard and probably used for a whole lot more.

You like the JHS? I was considering trying this one out as it has the dirt circuit. Have you had anything else to compare it to? AKA Cali76?

I really like it a lot. I currently have the MXR M87, Darkglass Hyper Lumina, Wampler Mini Ego and the JHS. I really like them all but the JHS is my current favorite. It really makes my Basses sound great. I have no experience with the Cali76. I haven’t tried out the dirt circuit yet.
 
Love me a bit of Green Rhino.
Set this way, wit my bass, it gives me a mid boost that cuts more throug the mix when I need to and only overdrives when I dig hard.

When I use my Gretsch Baritone (strung as a Bass VI), when I use the nech pickup, I get a warm bass sound, and if I switch to the bridge pickup, I get a Guitar-like overdrive that I use in intros or in some songs to fill up space durings solos, or when bass is not involved.

This is my favorite pedal so far.

yes, appeared to be the same width, half the length. Still, the person who asked the question (@Tim Skinner) would like to put it on the upper spaces of the BCB30, either top left or top right, which doesn't have any openings on either side of the walls. Thus, the input/output jack would be blocked.

Thanks all. Sorry for the long delay in replying. I was given a TU3s for my birthday and with some wrangling, it fits. It will fit a bit better if I carve a small amount of plastic out of the case. I cant leave the cables in when I close the case and have to lift it slightly to plug in, but once done it does sit nicely in place.

It'll be nice to this thread if you could put on some pics of that setup of yours.
