Worship Bass Pedalboards

Do you power the Diamond off the Noble? 9V? And if so any issues running @9V? My dream rig would have a Noble and a Diamond, just trying to figure out how I would power the Diamond

Hey Man, Yes, I am powering my Diamond off the Nobel. Just had to use one of the red tipped plugs. I haven't had any issues with running it at 9V, but if you find you're getting and distortion you could get a voltage doubler (I think that's the right term). I emailed Noble about it and they gave me some options.

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.

It looks like it has quite a lot of options and tone available, but I did notice it takes up a bit of room. I think I'll put it on my "want list".

We just use a Boss TU-2 and an Ampeg SCR-DI. I want to add an Aguilar TLC Compressor to that as well. Not much in terms of modulation or other effects. We just need a solid low end to fill the sound. Our sound guy does a pretty good job of making sure that the bass is felt and not so much heard. As others have said before, most of the effects just got lost in the mix anyway

My new Pedal Pad came in a week back and I got it all wired up and ready to go for services yesterday. Good news is it fits perfectly right on the front of the shaker platform. I don't use the TC vocal processor with the worship team (just my gigging band). This covers all my needs for bass or regular guitar. Basic chain in the POD is comp/drive/chorus/octave with a Fender Blackface preamp model. I have a wah set up on the on-board expression pedal that I don't really use. The Mission pedal feels much nicer so I have it assigned as volume. Boss TU-3 because the POD tuner is..well...meh.

SteveC, you can blast fuzz during the accented hits in Our God! Whenever the band goes huge like that, pop on some fuzz, or octave. Sounds great!

This is true.

We have also done Hosanna. I use a ton of chorus with a pick on this song. I'm normally a finger style player, but the picked 8th/16th not rhythm with chorus sounds really nice.

Aside from some preamp and compression, my tone is clean 90% of the time. But, when I want to be more emotive, I have tons of options.

This makes sense as well.

Get an IsoPump from Godlyke. Isolates the Diamond and you can run it at 12, 18 or 24volts.
Johno!

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take to get your Pedal Pad board? I'm contemplating getting an MPS board and I'm curious what the lead time is...thanks.

Well, thought I was at the point of posting an updated board.. Nope, I'm sending the Aguilar pedals back. I got the Octamizer, Agro,and Chorasaurus. I can understand and appreciate why folks like and use each, but I just wasn't feeling it.
I may actually switch out the Octamizer, I'm thinking something just isn't right with it. Around the 9th fret and above on the G string It'll play the octave down, but a split second later it just drops off and makes a funny warble sound then hits the original note without the octave. Everywhere else seems OK, I could get use of it.

I like the Agro, a lot actually, but it's noisy when I stop playing. Does anyone else that has an Agro have this problem?

Thinking about going for MXR BOD, and Bass Chorus Deluxe along with a Bearfoot BBOD instead. Unless I can get the Agro and Octamizer sorted. But definitely sending the Chorasaurus back as I found only one sound that only kinda liked.

Overdrives are never completely silent. I found my Agro was noisy with the TLC before it. When I moved the TLC to after the agro it was much better.

Thanks man!
The only other effects I have are my Seymour Duncan bass comp.. It's after everything, other than a tuner.. And my Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master, but it wasn't on the board.
I fiddled around a bit more, and tamed some of the noise, plus almost came close to something I liked in the chorus, but the Octamizer, I'm just confused... Given this is my first octave, but it doesn't make sense about its reaction on only a few frets.

So the Octamizer is first in the chain after your tuner? Clean signal for the Octamizer is vital. I run clean settings at 12 o'clock, octave level at 9 o'clock, octave filter at 1 o'clock. If that helps.
