I already have the Avalanche Run which I use for think fade in volume swells. I've been testing and playing the Walrus Slö and it sounds great and full but not muddy when finger picking chords, so I'm gonna add that to the board and see if I can make that work next week. We'll be an acoustic set with bass, cajon, and acoustic guitar. So I'll be able to mess with pads and lines like this:

Our electric guitarist broke down and bought a pedalboard. The WL had one for her acoustic, and I have one for my bass. Mine is now by far the smallest--it's the Mono version of a Pedaltrain Nano. The rest are more like a Classic Jr. I'm not envious or anything... :roflmao:

I think it's cool that effects have invaded our stage.

Anyone using the new Line 6 G10s Wireless in their setup? Pulled the trigger in a system and hoping it's a good system. I've been using the G30 for years and want something that is rechargeable.

Yep, I've had one for about a month. Zero problems with it, and the rechargeable is awesome. I used to gig with an older Line6 wireless and this is great never having to change batteries. It makes it through two worship services with like 2/3-3/4 of the charge left.

That's what they all say. Don't worry. It always starts innocently enough. Just a few pedals you feel you "need." But then after a while you'll be amazed how many more pedals you, "need," and will go from this:

I see the Vt and the MXR M80 DI are on at the same time. Are you using two DI's?

Fair question, but no. The DI comes out of the OCSD at the end.

My signal chain is:
Bass > loop master channel strip > tuner out the to tuner > main output of the loop-master to the MXR M80 (not always on, only to add dirt) > VT Bass DI (set clean) > Spectracomp > DSM OCSD > FOH via DI (no amp in most situations. Sometimes I take the 1/4" out of the OCSD to a stage amp and still use the OCSD DI).
Loop 1: Sub 'n Up > Bass Clone > Golden Face (not really the right placement loop-wise for the GF, but it had to go there for space considerations).
Loop 2: Bass Soul Food > VMT > Fuzz Mo
Loop 3: Wah
(The One Control Sonic Silver Peg in the top right is just there in storage, not in use).

I only have everything turned on in the photo for visual effect. I never have everything turned on in practical use. I do have 3 DI's in the chain, but two of them are not used as DI's. I only use the DI from the OCSD. Some of what I have is complete overkill, but I already had it so I decided to use it. For example, years ago I started with the MXR M80+ as my DI when I wanted purely a clean DI with EQ. It's fantastic for that, but I never liked the way the distortion channel sounded direct, and both channels use the same 3-band EQ, which makes it challenging to switch back and forth. When I wanted dirt, I decided that I liked it as a dirt pedal in front of an amp sim pedal and have been using it like that, but not as a DI. Later on I wanted a colored DI, so I bought the VT Bass DI. I used that as my DI for a bit with only a couple of other pedals. Then I discovered the DSM OCSD and began using THAT for my speaker sim and DI needs for the past few months, but I still use the VT Bass as a preamp, especially for my passive basses. So now I have 3 DI pedals. I could just as easily now use a regular VT Bass (non-DI), and maybe an MXR Bass distortion or Overdrive instead of the two additional DI versions that I have, but I like the way it all sounds together. Were I buying everything from scratch at once now or then, I would never have bought three DI pedals.

You live and you learn. I never could get the distortion the mxr to sound like anything but it's a decent DI.

Lol. Very true. But in my new (current) setup, it's kind of my secret weapon. Use it for just a little . . . liiiiittle . . . dirt. And then everything that comes before it sounds even better, and the EQ of the MXR returns a lot of the low end that other drive pedals can steal. For example, I'm not a huge fan of the VMT or the BSF by themselves. But run into the MXR set to slight grit with a boost in the low end and cut to the highs? Oh, baby! Sounds awesome. Boost the mids to 9:00 for a modern sound, cut to 12:00 for a vintage tone. I use it more like a drive enhancer than anything. Of course, it also depends on what you're running it into or what's after the MXR.
