Worship Bass Pedalboards

How is the st300 working out? How would you compare it to other tuners?

I like it a lot! I have 2 ST-200s too - one lives in my gig bag, and the other on my smaller board. It seems as if the ST-300 is a bit quicker - but I never found the ST-200 to be lacking. The lack of battery in the ST-300 keeps it on a pedalboard for me.

A more compact board I set up for church. Running out of the Basswitch as my DI and moved the VMT to the end of the chain just to warm things up a bit when necessary.

How long has it been out? I sold my ST-200 about a year ago to go with a smaller TC electronics polytune 2.....not against the pt2, but truly miss the Sonic Research style.

I bought it in early August - not sure when it was released. If they release a version with a battery I'll probably get that also, and sell the two ST200s. I'll just keep the new one in my case.

Nice board. How do you like the TC HOF? I've been wanting to grab one for a while, but everytime I get the chance I get distracted by something else. I really like the idea of the tone prints.

When I heard they were going to be offered, I preordered on July 6. I was told that they expected to begin fulfilling preorders on July 15. I received notice of my unit being shipped on July 25.

Hope that helps...

Does the ST300 have that popping noise that the ST200 reportedly had when engaging the silent tuner? That was the one thing which kept me from picking up a ST200. Thanks

It does not exhibit any popping, either in the signal, or acoustically with the switch. Sonic Research has used one of those 'silent switches' for this pedal. I believe they are relay switches (correct me if I'm wrong) like those used in some TC Electronic pedals. You don't physically hear a 'click' sound when they are pressed.

Hi @ExaltBass ,
I'm curious what you have in the loop of your Mosquite Blender.
Thanks...

I haven't messed around with the tone prints, mostly because I found the sounds I was hoping for already on the pedal. I use a (green) Setting Saver pen to mark my go-to settings on all my pedals, and then I can go from there and come back very easily and quickly.

It is a very simple VERY clean true bypass loop with efx blend... just what I was looking for :)

@ExaltBass ,
I'm still a bit confused as to why you need the Mosquite Blender. Can't you just set the level of each of the 3 pedals individually and leave them there?
Or if you wanted more chorus for instance, you would need to adjust the MXR BCD either with or without having the Mosquite Blender, right?

Not a NEED... but it is a convenience for the way I use the board. It also keeps me from doing the 'pedal dance' when using 2 or 3. YMMV, but it works for me.
