Worship Bass Pedalboards

Very nice board, what kind is that?
I have been looking for a Darkglass Vintage, do you run it a good bit, and what songs do you guys play?
Not sure of the brand but it's Chinese made and I got it in South Australia, it lays flat (not elevated like a pedaltrain, which I really like) and tweed so it matches my vintage bass case.

I have the Vintage Microtubes on all the time. My fav pedal. Generally it makes a great preamp or light OD for me. When I dig in with a pick I get some nice saturation, or I can sit back and use finger style and it's nice and warm.

We play a range of songs, from Bethel, Jesus Culture, Hillsong, Bryan and Katie Torwalt etc. We have 5 bands but my team has a very "country rock" sound, it can also delve into ambient instrumental territory sometimes too, hence delay and reverb are very important!
 
Pedalboard update:

Off - ToneBone BassBone & JDI (relocated)
Added - pedaltrain Volto, MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe & 3Leaf Enabler

Ready for it's debut this Sunday :bassist:

It took a LOT of time for me to determine signal path, real estate allocation (toughest by far), and then making some new cables. I can't imagine with some of the BIG boards! :eek:

May I ask how the Volto is working out?
 
What? Worship bassists use pedalboard? I just use a Tech 21 Bass Driver and plug straight into the PA system. I got all my drive and EQ options on that.

I have my tech who controls the volume and sets up my basses before we go on stage.

Just kidding.

No tech...gosh I wish I had one
 
My church has a Sansamp to connect to the house, but when I play I disconnect and use my own DI.

Just picked up a Pedaltrain 2 and a couple pedals on the way. Following will be my tentative order ...
pitchblack tuner -> markbass compressore -> aguilar octamizer -> creation audio labs holy fire overdrive -> markbass chorus flanger -> markbass super booster di -> FOH
 
I use a multitude of pedals that aren't all completely necessary, but I like to make unorthodox sounds with my rig. My signal chain is as follows. Bass -> Zoom Ms-60B -> EBS Octabass -> SA OFD -> Boss Ceb-3 -> Tc Electronics Nova Delay -> EHX Holy Grail Plus Reverb -> Tech 21 Sansamp BDDI -> Ditto Looper.

I like to make ambient drones and swells during slow parts of songs and between songs and I use the Zoom for crazy reverb-y octave up-y sounds that sound pretty nice.

Out of curiosity, where do you all put your Sansamp BDDI's in your signal chains? I put mine at the end just to have the DI out, but I like what it does to my tone as well.
