Worship Bass Pedalboards

My old bugboard could only take regular length pedals and couldn't take my volume pedal. Carting the volume pedal around separate was a pain, so I found a great deal on a new, bigger board. Now everything fits.

This is from today:

Still room for an expression pedal or maybe a better power supply. If I want both, I'll have to go bigger...again
 
most power supplies can fit and be mounted underneath the board, so you should be able to fit both without a new board. Unless you really want a new board ;)
That's true! I'm a bit concern with the way the board slopes, but I hope your right. It might depend on the specific supply. The voodoo labs one seemed a little too deep, but I'm just going from eyeballing it in my memory. Here's hoping!

Check out the Cioks DC-5 and DC-7 Both will work on a Pedaltrain mounted underneath.

Thanks, guys! Strymon would be my dream, but I didn't think theirs would fit, or that there'd be so many options. I'll definitely check out the DC-7.

I could drill, but I bet I could figure out something with some long black zip ties. Drilling seems extreme.
 
I should have never found this thread...causing serious GAS. Here's my board. It does the job, but now I'm wondering how to make it better. There only seems to be several thousand ways I can go with it.View attachment 3526318
Well, for starters, perhaps you might consider turning the THDI the right way around? LOL, I couldn't resist :laugh:
Okay,what kind of thing are you looking for? A drive? Compressor? Octave? Unless your team is playing outside of the normal "box", those, with what you already have, will cover most ground.

I'll give you a minimalist example so you don't feel so bad about your board.

I've been using this for a long time. I tried more pedals for about a month. I'm back to tried and true.

Oh man. You're really asking for it. Lol.

Okay. How about a compressor? Good look going down THAT rabbit trail, lol.

I need to get a right-angle XLR so the Tone Hammer will fit squarely; the back lip of the board is too tall
:(

I'm thinking compressor for my next addition.

Compressor is what I have noticed as a common theme on most boards posted here. There are so many effects out there, and I've been a bass-cable-amp guy for so long it's a huge learning curve.

Added the Tone Hammer a few months ago, when we eliminated amps on stage, and that has been fantastic...that pedal is a beast.
