Worship Bass Pedalboards

Very nice board with awesome pedals. Is that Mission Engineering a VM-Pro volume pedal?......I have one that I completely like.

This is my combo bass and guitar board. I just run a Sadowsky preamp off to the side because it won't work with velcro anyway because of the feet, and I have a plug for it that stays wrapped up in between the slats on my board.

My most commonly used pedals for bass are my Empress Compressor and Darkglass Vintage Microtubes. I also use the EQ on the H9 fairly often now, and may use the H9 or my Neunaber pedals for the rare time that I need to do swells to fill out space. I also obviously use the Polytune when I need to tune.

My other overdrives are pretty much not used because they suck low end pretty bad. I'm experimenting with the Crushstation algorithm on my H9 for really heavy tones which I will rarely if ever use, but will be fun to have.

I've been looking into the XP, and the Accountant. Would love to hear your comments about each when compared.

Never had an XP, but I have an Accountant on my board.
It is an odd little beast. You can get an always-on-warming type compression out of it, and it does this pretty well. It's no Diamond magic box, but it would suit most people's needs if this is what your after in a small footprint.
What it does really well, and why I'm keeping it, is hard-pop-hitting-the-Compressor-wall-with-a-bit-of-grit compression that works really well for Slap style. Makes this style jump out of the cabs. I will be getting a Broughton Monocle to fill the Diamond type on my board, but the Accountant is staying!

Johno!

Hi folks, this is my first time posting on this thread! This is my pedal board and right now I'm only playing at church. I use this for both bass and electric guitar. I never use the Peach Fuzz for either, it's just for messing around with at home. The VMT is pretty much always on for bass. The Dispatch Master is used a lot for guitar, and occasionally for bass. The Octamizer is used on both, but rarely.

It's actually a VM 1 that I picked up used at GC. It's passive which is ok with me because I've got buffers in front and behind it, but the only thing that has bugger me is that it has a battery bay for the active switching between the normal and tuner outputs. I don't use the tuner output at all, and the bay is in just the wrong spot for it to stick to my board really well, but it sticks well enough.

Also please tell me that fuzzy pedal on your board is fuzz pedal because that's awesome!

I have been through several different volume pedals and finally decided to purchase the Mission Electronics and totally don't regret it. This one does have the buffer installed inside it, but I don't split into the tuner. On this pedalboard, it is placed in front of the volume pedal.

As far as my furry pedal, it is a custom Redman All-Star Fuzz that I have renamed my "Chewbacca Fuzz". Several years ago, I had another custom fuzz pedal that had the "fuzz", but I sold it and regretted that decision.....so I modified another fuzz pedal. I purchased and customized the pedal just for the looks, but believe or not run it for about 40% of our songs we play....will never sell this pedal.


Sonic Research ST-300 > Mission Engineering VM-PRO > Ken Smith PAPA > Ovnilab Compressor(favorite comp....ever) > MXR Micro Flanger M-152 > The (Chewbacca) Redman All-Star Fuzz > Darkglass Vintage Microtubes

Here is my "Amp in a box" board. I've got this set up so I can grab it and go if I just need my "clean" tone. We just use monitors and no amps, so this is a super convenient set up and sounds amazing.
The signal chain is purple Fifth Gear>JohnK F2B>JohnK Rails>Meatsmoke>FEA DE-CL>tuner>3Leaf Enabler.

I have it set up so I can patch my bigger board in between the purple Fifth Gear and the JohnK F2B for when I need synth sounds, or modulation, or more dirt options (waiting on some stuff to get a shot of that one)

Mxr M80 for clean. M87 (for keep my drive pedals at bay) spark boost (for leveling my volume with the keyboard when he gets inspired and turn up his volume for no reason) mojo mojo overdrive as my fuzz.

I'm using a MojoMojo as a fuzz. Don't rate it as an OD but as a fuzz it's great. Might be cos it has that cranked tube vibe to it

What is the little orange pedal?
Click to expand...

Just a simple passive volume attenuator/mute that was made for me by a friend. Since I play on a small team with just an accoustic guitar, bass, drums, and 3 vocalists (we also use PADS by worshiptutorials.com), I am sometimes tasked with playing some lead. Usually just some textural stuff durring mellow moments in the set. I use the orange pedal to cut my signal after the multidrive and dispatch master in order to keep the sound in tact, but at a lesser volume.

Very nice setup....how do you like the Le Bass tube preamp? I've been trying to decide on an awesome preamp.
Click to expand...

Thanks. I really like the tone options in the Le Bass. The Cold Fusion mode is fantastic! Best sound I've ever experienced in a pedal based preamp. For the price, this has to be the best value out there. Absolutely kills the likes of the Tone Hammer. Frankly, it makes many preamp pedals seem overpriced. What I don't care for is the size/shape of the Le Bass. Just seems like a lot of wasted space in the design and makes it not as pedal board friendly as it otherwise could be.
