How do you like the Simplifier Bass Station?
I’m loving it. It just sounds awesome. I’m able to put the H9 in the parallel loop and the Tone Hammer in the preamp loop. Everything else is before. The cab sim is really tastefully done. So far I haven’t found many bad things to say about it. It’s dead silent and dead useful.
 
That sounds very promising. I am thinking of getting one myself but wanted to hear some user feetback before actually pulling the trigger.
I have the same compressor first in my chain by the way. I guess they work nicely together.
Do you go ampless or ...?

Thanks for your feetback!

My signal chain goes
Hyper luminal
Tuner
Boss oc-2
Arkham Oracle
Bass Simplifier
Preamp Loop:
Aguilar Tonehammer
Parallel Loop:
Eventide H9

My main reason for getting this was the cabsim and headphone out (have a baby lol) the looping system replaced my Goodwood Audio Bass Interfacer. If I was to be playing live, I’d go ampless. If I couldn’t go ampless, my rig would basically be just used as amplification (making louder) all tone shaping would be done via my board.
 
Nice another tube screamer bassist in the wild. I'm also rocking a tube screamer on my board, it's a TS9 though. How do those the 808s sound on bass?

Been years since I used a Tube Screamer, tried a few different variations and modded units, but it sounded good when using a Parallel Blend pedal of some kind to mix it in with cleans. An AnalogMan modded to 808 specs, plus mods for more lows and smooth breakup through a Boss LS-2 blender was tasty.

On it's own, running the unmodded TS straight, it was way to much mid honk, brittle highs, and smothered/choked sounding lows for my liking. It was a nice kicker ahead of a Big Muff, or Rat, etc to drive the gain stages a little harder, where the other pedals could make up for the Tube Screamer voicing though.
 
Updated. Replaced my Wampler Ego with a Keeley Bassist, Deluxe Bass Big Muff with a B:ASSMASTER, and added a Green Russian reissue. I'm waiting on a Saturnworks Looper Volume pedal to more easily control the B:ASSMASTER.

I outgrew the Fuel Tank, Jr. So I got a DC10. I redid the wire clips too. I went a little nuts with them before lol I'm waiting on some more 12" and 20" CIOKS cables to shorten the excess wire.
