Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[javi_bassist]

Im curious what those pedals were

Tuner, Broughton HPF, JHS Compressor, Boss LS2, JHS Morning Glory, MXR Bass Octave, Source Audio Aftershock, Ampeg Liquifier, Dr Green Delay and Ashdown Preamp.

I didn’t know they had a red HX Stomp that’s pretty cool. You weren’t able to model the Ashdown accurately?

It is a special version (they made a blue one, a white one and the red one). Actually, I got it red because it was cheaper than the rest (for some reason).
There are several amp models which I think sound great, like the Ampeg SVT4 or the Mesa 400+. However, none of them sounds as good as the Ashdown. I could live just with the HX and leave the JHS and the Ashdown at home, but comparing them with the sounds of the HX, I think both sounds a little bit better.

First practice since before the holidays so of course that means time for a new board. Wanted to keep it simple, good all around tone with a bit of grit. We'll see how it goes.........

One of the new JHS in the wild! How's it sound?

Sounds pretty good so far, still trying to dial it in but it does play nice with the compressor. It has plenty of options and you can't beat the price.

My board, finally complete.

@Mike neph How do you use the Loop Blender?

That is a handsome board. I think I need to re-try the Vintage Microtubes at some point.

I’m using it as a clean low blend for the gemini and an always on pedal when the gemini is off, it adds some extended lows with the clean sound being blended into itself.

It’s a pity those were discontinued, One of those is on my list for that very reason.

Here's my Temple Solo 18; new compact board day:
Signal chain: Polytune Mini > Cali76 Compact Bass > 3leaf Octabvre > Shotmaker Heroine Deluxe > Benson Preamp > Shiftline Olympic (with Walrus Slö in the effects loop)

My pedalboard went from a Nano to a Classic Junior during lockdown.

The most recent iteration of my small pedalboard. The latest addition is a Behringer DR600 Digital Reverb. It's mostly for experimental purposes these days, since the way it looks now we probably won't be gigging until this summer at the earliest. I'll be trying to find a setting that works for me, since like all my other pedals it'll always be on. BTW that piece of memory foam is the mute I use for my P-Bass. I jam it under the bridge cover and it does a good job of muting.

I posted this on the tidy thread. Figured I would post here as well. I am very happy with this setup, especially doing some solo jamming.

Fallout body with L-2000 electronics. interesting.

What are your thoughts on the Vong? Did you build it yourself?

Also curious your experience with the Blackstone.

Yeah I built the Vong. I cannot recommend them enough. Julian was super helpful, super quick to respond, and super nice. Was a little over a hundred bucks shipped. It got to my house in about a week. The instructions on the Vong site made it way too easy. It took me about two hours and I was done. Worked fine first try. There are dip switches inside to set the footswitch. I just have it set to engage the boost. This gives me a nice boost at the end of my chain. The filters work great and the DI is very quiet. I honestly don't know how these aren't more popular on this forum. Good value and it does so much.

I love the Blackstone. It is a little bit of a hassle at first, but once dialed in it is super nice. It has a more neutral channel (brown channel) and a higher gain/less bassy channel (red channel). I am using the brown channel as an always on sound. I love it for this. It is a very sensitive OD. It reacts to bass volume big time. I was using the red channel sparingly as a higher gain sound, but it was lacking some. It really shines now though as I opened it up and played around with the socketed capacitors. It has two capacitors, one for presence and one for bass cut on the red channel. I played with the presence cap but found that I like the stock value. I removed the bass cut capacitor for the red channel. This just gave me another brown channel to set with higher gain. Now I love it even more. I have the internal jumper set for buffered input so it plays well with my active basses.

TL;DR
Vong is easy to build cheap and great
Blackstone OD is super touch sensitive and I love it

Easy to build after 10 years of soldering experience, or?

Where can one purchase a Vong and in the US?

It's from Germany VONG-Filterung – Schalltechnik_04 and you have to build it yourself.
