Worship Bass Pedalboards

After some signal chain experimentation I took the JHS Moonshine off in favor of an SP compressor. It goes after the Tone Hammer. Tried it before but it ruined the way the TH responds dynamically to loud/soft playing. Placing it after gives me a nice parallel compressed signal but allows dynamic playing with the TH.

Signal chain:
Volume Pedal (aux to tuner) -> Micro Synth -> Tone Hammer -> SP Comp -> BigSky

Not familiar with this. Mind explaining? And they don't have any options for the YYZ pedal (understandably so)
I’ve never used them or anything, but was aware of them. They do a variety of mods, so it felt like they might be worth an email. I wouldn’t worry that they don’t show your pedal, I think their website may not have been updated since it came out....

So you dont use the TH as a DI? Or do you not send the Big Sky to the house?

True but that YYZ isn't the end of the chain so I don't think I need to worry about it. I can also use a 1/4" to an XLR cable at the end if really necessary.

Couldn’t you do side pickup?
What do you mean by that?

I have the Spectra Drive, which lets you swap out drive and compressor models, which is very cool. Far as I have been able to tell, you can't edit the patches . Not being able to edit patches is no big tome because TC offers a good variety, made by themselves, as well as famous musicians. I have my tube drive loaded up with TC's clean boost, and the Spectra Comp loaded up with 9901 Funk by Dammon Farmer. I don't think I would tweak a thing on either, even if I could.

I’ve decided to stay small and keep my small board. If any of my worship brethren wants a killer Custom Wood Pedalbaord. I have a fitted heavy Duty Gator case. I even have a brand new Cioks DC7 I can sale with it. Message me if anyone is interested in a professional setup.

That's a beautiful board. Tempting to take the plunge and add back some effects again. If I do I think I want to try and stick to my Nano though.
