That's awesome. I'm in the process of downsizing my PT-mini to a Nano and using the Adam as well. When I first saw that Providence, I thought "shoot, it takes 12v"...then realized the Adam actually will do that - too perfect!

Also, it's good to see the Adam has enough juice for it. On the Providence-ltd site, the specs show that it needs 110ma...but then if you click on the product manual, it shows 80ma. Even if the 110 number is the correct one, I don't plan on maxing out the master or any of the EQ points to where I think it would draw the full amount that pedal can use...and it's obviously working for you.

After a few weeks off of playing for various reasons, I got to practice with our team last night and this is going to be an unusually interesting week for effects! On one song the worship leader said to "funk it up" a little, so I was like "YES HERE COMES THE MANTA." I have kind of a vocal sounding filter while I'm slapping, which is rare for me (the slapping). I've never used the Manta at church before, so that's cool. And it fits the song reasonably well.

Then after having one of my favorite pedals away from me for about two weeks for repairs, my Pitchfactor back on my board. I was messing around with a Crystals patch the other night, and then I realized I could really incorporate it into a few of the songs where we have softer parts. We have a keyboard player who is doing a synth pad sort of sound and, IMHO, the Crystals complements it very nicely. So I'm switching that on and off for the slow parts of two other songs.

All in addition to my standard sound of Empress Compressor and slightly dirty B7K.

Sounds cool! I love fitting in unorthodox effects into our songs, it's fun to mix it up a little

...the sound guy usually doesn't run the bass hot enough for anyone to hear....

i laughed at..."how loud the bass is" is always a concern. don't people understand that because you can feel the bass it ISN'T a bad thing? i like the kick to hit you in the chest and the bass to rattle your feet!...

The church I play at has a professional recording studio engineer on the mixing desk and the WL is a younger (by church staff standards; he's in his 20's) guy and has an album out so generally, they want the bass up and they'll have it cranked when they can get away with it. The problem is that the li'l blue-haired old ladies complain about the bass so the senior pastor goes to the soundbooth and "asks" them to turn me down.

I think that might be one reason a lot of sound guys keep the bass down in what I call the "cosmetic range", i.e. you can see a guy standing up there doing something with that guitar thing but you can't hear it.

Repost from PYPB:

"Ankle surgery, can't lug around my PT Pro, brought only the essentials to worship band this morning" board.

Empress and B7K always on. M5 used for noise gate and tuner. I experimented with some HH3-controlled Octoverb at Wednesday night practice but I ultimately ditched it for this morning.

I have really been contemplating on getting a Vintage Microtubes or a B3K, but after seeing your setup.....that's got me rethinking to go like yours.

Go for it! I leave the VMTD on pretty much all the time and blend in as much dirt as I want, and then kick in the B3K when I want some extra grind, or for a song that calls for more dirt

I'm another one who uses the Vintage Deluxe as an always on pedal - I guess it's quite good for that. Although, I'm putting mine in the classifieds today or tomorrow (as soon as I remember to take a decent picture...).
