Is it a coincidence that both VT DIs (for FOH and IEM) use the same settings?
Hi Gillento. On stage I have my own personal mixer into which one of my VT DIs goes via its DI output. In my monitor mix of the other instruments I ask not to have any bass signal present. This means I can always mix in how much bass I want with the other instruments without being at the mercy of the sound guy or trying to get their attention.
The reason I have two VTDIs is that despite them having two outputs: an XLR DI output and a 1/4" output, I can hear a difference between them! The DI outputs always seems to have a deeper sub-sonic bass element that the 1/4" outputs lack. I could probably just live with that 'lower bass content' 1/4" output feed going into my personal mixer and in ears (even adding in a little extra bass on the mixer channel strip) but I'm also putting my tuner / mute just before the FOH VT DI unit. This means I can still tune in silence for the public, yet always hear myself in my in ears. This helps me check/balance my in ear volumes with the other instruments while not playing or I can even practice/audition my parts before I start playing or during an intro in which there is no bass.
Ok. Well you asked for it. I'm really digging the flamma ff20 looper. Good variety of drums and very user friendly. Cheers!
I just finished putting together that lower board this morning. I figured I'd replace the chorus with the MXR Synth once it become available again. But after fiddling with the board this morning, I think I'll have to do a bit more to it. It sounds pretty gruesome. MXR used to be top notch in my mind. I don't think their quality has gone down, it's that other brands have really stepped up their game. That top board, with the Genzler stuff really sounds great. And the Brighton/Empress combo also rocks. So I may end up just replacing the HX One for the MXR Synth and go with that. We'll see. I'll play with the MXR stuff a little while longer to see if I can get a descent sound out of it before I disassemble it. It's got a DC-7 powering it and the board itself is a Pedaltrain Nano+, so the bones are good, and I like the Turbo Tuner. Not to mention the LED lights on the 10 band EQ burn out my eye balls...

That's a Voodoo Labs Dingbat that I added drawer handles to.
Yeah, I just don't need anything other than a good solid classic bass sound for all my current gigs. I want to sound like I'm tracking DI in the studio--that's what I want to send FOH. The amp is out of the equation for what I send FOH, whether it's my own, backline, or no amp (unless for some reason I'm forced to DI out the back of a backline amp but I rarely encounter that).

Never thought I’d describe a bass tone as “cozy” but here we are.
Swapped out the MXR EQ for the Ibanez Pentatone EQ.

Posted this earlier but…Love the Kasleder jellyfish but the grizzly wins for versatility.
I has been set with this config for a long time now. I programmed patches for chorus, autowah, and a dry channel on the mxr. The dry channel has nothing but the global noise gate, which is useful when using an obnoxious single coil bass and cranking compression or gain. I love how the mxr does the few synth/octave sounds I need and now covers for other functions.
Having a paraEQ near the end allows for minute final corrections for the room/cabinet/amp whatever.

The Pentatone is great sounding and very easy to use.
Made a show reel and demo of my compact pedalboard. No tweaking or talking, just going through my dialled presets in scene and stomp mode.
Have you tried the Retro Reel? Set the wow/flutter to 1 or lower and crank the saturation and texture.
Three things Chad:
1. I saw John Mayer with Sean Hurley last night at The Pilgrimage Music festival in Nashville. It was
2. No more Sushi Box Neptunium?
3. Done with your HX Stomp?
1. Sean Hurley is definitely one of my bass heroes!Three things Chad:

2. Everything gone after I settled with this board.
3. I’m happier with what I can do with the Anagram compared to my Stomp so bye bye Stomp
That's the kicker — spring reverbs were meant to be kicked!But, but, every time I’d step on a pedal, it will set off my spring reverb to frenzy!!
MwaHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
