Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Makes perfect sense to me! I can finally sound like the records I grew up listening to! And it actually tracks almost flawlessly! You have to be “aware” on some of the wilder, Mono patches, but the latency problem is just not there anymore! I am so excited for the possibilities this pedal!
Please, do tell more - like what songs do you mean? I'm not familiar with the C4.
 
I have quite a number of pedals but this is what I am using at the moment.
But all of that could change tomorrow!

Mostly Funk stuff from the 70's and 80's. Flashlight, You Dropped a Bomb,Wip It, that kind of stuff. Old vintage sounding key bass stuff, that I've been trying to sound like for years, using various filters, octaves and dirt (all seperate pedals) to chase these tones. Now they are all in one box, and actually sound like a synth, because they are a synth! And, the tones that Michael League from Snarky Puppy gets, are at my finger tips. Super excited!

when he uses his Moog or his bass with Boss OC3 and MXR Envelope Filter?
 
How do you like the SV-Pre vs. the Ampeg?

They're similar but the Ampeg has a lot less grind, it's more simple (clean) EQ, works well with my AGBs and EUB. The SV-Pre has more versatility and, let's call it, gumption. It's more of a hard rock pedal with more emphasis of gain. They're modeled after different decades, I believe.

I originally thought the SV-Pre was going to replace the Ampeg but found out it's better to keep both.

Every time I see the Leeds on a board I get a fuzzy feeling in my heart. Criminal how little attention it got. Are those the settings you usually run? I havent used one in years but even still I can hear those settings in my head. :bassist:

Ok, so a little more squaretooth and sawtooth kinda sounding.

I am still looking for the Holy Grail of Stevie pedal, that fat Living for the City Too High Dream Weaver Moog thing. I wish the Syb-3 was more stable....

I’m pretty sure you can get all of that from the C4, you just have to figure out how? I’ll get there eventually! That’s what I’m chasing!

I’m waiting on my daisy chain and TC sub-n-up, and I’ll have a dedicated bass board.

Everything should be in Monday/Tuesday.

I stole the cord from our Christmas tree, it has a stompbox to power on and off.

Gorilla glued some wood together, velcro’d it, and it all fits in a laptop case.

BASS BEFORE.....

As a Who fan if there was one pedal in the Character series I was going to get, it was always going to be the Leeds which I really like and which I believe is based on the Hiwatt 100 which both Townshend and Entwistle used around the Tommy era. The settings shown are quite clean and I usually have it set for Entwistle's tone from Live At Leeds which are:

With everything set flat on the amplifier
Level - 8.00 or to taste.
Mid - 2.45
Character - 1.30
Drive - 1.00
Low - 2.45
High - 2.45.

Hah that's why I bought it too and that was my go tone for when I wanted that bite! I kept low around 1.
