Will do. I like that it can work passive or on phantom, so it works for Church, and my Secular gigs. It sounds great passive through my SWR rig, but the real test will be the IE’s.
Do you have a preset you use? I modified the SVT Nrm preset and added a drive and chorus. Then modified that a bit for the tonal differences if I use a pick or fingers.
I do, however, my Stomp is out on loan at the moment. I will see if I can get the person to send me the HLX files. One is a double SVT preset (two SVT amps on a split crossover path) and the other is Dr. Tone Lab's Studio Tube preset (that uses the Fullerton amp).
This guy hasn’t made it to church yet, but he’s getting his feet wet with some worship tunes for sure!
Which brand/model pedalboard is that? Also, curious about the signal chain from the SLO if you don't mind.
So this weekend at church, I plugged my board in, but decided to roll the tone all the way up on my G&L P-bass, turn on my Cali76 CB, and the bypass the rest of the pedals, including the Sansamp which I was using as a DI. After the service, the sound tech came up to me and told me that was the best tone he has ever heard from a bass in that room. I went back to look at the channel strip to see how he EQ'd me, completely flat.
Moral of the story: I need to sell all my other pedals.

Sometimes we can chase a tone so far down a rabbit hole that it sounds great to us, but the FOH is fighting us for what they think is the tone in their heads. There is a reason so many pros send a “clean” DI to FOH before it ever goes through any effects and use their amp onstage. I think we are at somewhat of a disadvantage in worship since so many of us don’t get the benefit of an amp for our tone and we only get the sterile IEM tone. I know, for me, I want my tone to sound good in my IEMs and FOH so far has not compained.
Throwing together something real quick. Getting tired of my multi pedal at church. I have all these petals laying around and decided to make something up just to leave at church.
Just throwing together something quick. I think I’m just going to zip tie these petals to pegboard. Probably will replace the modtone with my Providence Anadime bass chorus from my other board.
The volume pedal has a tuner out port.

TLC and Tonehammer are a great combination.
Funny though, I just went from that to a multi. Different strokes.
I've been using a Zoom B3 and twice during a set, I hit the wrong button and accidentally loaded a different patch. I don't think I am coordinated enough to use it.
I have big feet and have to watch for that too.
The irony of the situation for me is that I am also one of the sound engineers at my church and have been doing that significantly longer (10+ years) than I have been playing bass. So for me it was quite the compliment. That said, I do love using a plethora of pedals at home for creative exploration.
Realistically, if you have a good system and the room is tuned, most of the EQing I do is to make pockets in the mix and HPF things to make room for others.
Back to a dual preamp setup. The switcher toggles back and forth from the BiX to the Meatsmoke, then out to the Squeeze Box for a little compression, and finally out to a Monique (not pictured) as the DI.
If you stopped here to ask it’s already too late. Those move really quick.
