The Overdriver wasn't "wired" to the dirt chain (with Rat and Eq) It was in with the normal pedals.
The Jensen d.i "blended" for his live sound. If they did?, it would sound like crap when you turn on the whammy...as you be getting a clean layer of no effect.
I beleive its just there in case he loses power to his pedalboard. Tuner will have a battery, and he would still be able to get a signal to FOH.
Stoked to say the least. Brian has just mailed these out from Kinnatone and dropped a hint there will be a surprise pedal in the box for me to try out.
Now to just wait for the JC Sig Wah so i can redesign the top of my board!

One if the last real questions for this forum is what pedals is he using here?
It looks like the mark bass amp is on, but based on his proximity I'd say he's using the Aguilar amp/cabs.
Attached is a screenshot with magnification of the clearest view of the pedals, I'm willing to wager the first white boss is a tuner..
Im willing to bet it’s just a boss tuner, EQ and maybe a pork loin?? It’s probably all stuff that was at that “gig”. This should prove to any and all, you don’t need all his gear to sound like JC. Cause even then , you probably won’t. He still sounds like him and almost none of that, short of the bass EQ (if that’s is what one of those is) is his gear he’s known for using. But anyway, could be way off. But he was clean almost the whole time I think until he kicks something on. Looks like a pork loin to me…..

As a former Wal bass owner, I can verify that 95% of the JC tone IS the bass itself.
Good theory on the Pork Loin, I am partially colorblind and the type of casing on that pedal is very light reflective so IDK, seems in the right ballpark though. He is certainly using some sort of OD/Distortion.
I don't think it is the EQ, it looks like it has knobs similar enough to believe it could be the delay, even though in this video he didn't use it.
All that being said, I do want to check out a Pork loin now...
After hearing that, that 3rd pedal could be a chorus….or do any of the boss compact series have mod built in?? I def hear chorus too.
You can get awfully close to a chorus effect with a delay...flange too! They are all in the same family of effects. At least that's what I am told
He’s definitely got a clap back delay going on and likely chorus or light flanging.
First 3/4 of Descending is a Stingray...and its got more than 5% there IMO
We don't know for sure which parts of Descending were the Stingray Special (which was supposedly modded for 24v) but the opening riff is for sure the Stingray. I'm not so sure about the part that starts at 3:10; that sounds like a Wal to me. The dry bass parts starting at 3:42 were definitely recorded with the Wal.
If I had to guess I'd say it's at most 1/4 of the song done on a Stingray, possibly ONLY the main riff.

Ive been playing a Stingray for 20 years and Wal for 14.
If you have an ear because of playing the tar out of these 2 basses its pretty easy to pick them out. Justin also mentioned about the Wal in the LATTER part of the song...which made it even easier. Get yer ears checked. Lol
Take it easy; we're just talking about music we love and trying to figure out how the musicians made it. We can disagree without turning it into a pissing contest about how many Wal basses you've played.
To wit: Starting at 3:42 there's a section of dry bass before returning to the main riff at 4:03. Then at 4:09 it's dry for a while. Later at 5:36 it's the main riff for a short moment before going dry again at 5:54. I believe all of those dry sections are Wal, and the main riff is played with the Stingray each time. When they play the song live he uses the Stingray for the whole thing because the main riff *makes* the song, therefore it's more important to get that right than it is to be true to the recording for the rest of the performance.
Justin said "The Wal wasn’t sounding as good as it could have in a couple of parts, so I broke out a few other basses and got experimental with the amp settings — but that was only a few minute sections. My fundamental bass tone comes from my Wal bass, so I used the other three basses to just add a bit of sparkle in various places."
To me this means that indeed, most of Descending is the Wal but the main riff is the Stingray.
Hey whatever blows your hair back....you can choose whatever time in the song that YOU think the Wal starts.
You hear "get your ears checked"...followed by a lol and you feel the need to mention "pissing contest" ??
smh
