Worship Bass Pedalboards

New church rig. Stays at church. Just have to bring my bass and iPad.

Well, the Stomp sounds pretty darn good at church this morning. I wish it were a little easier to tweak without a computer, but once set should be great.

if you get one of Jon Willis sets of ballanced or flat settings for the amp blocks and set them as the default it means you can quickly switch between amp models and set up a patch on the fly.

you can even set anything else you use to default to your settings.

I'd love to hear how you came about creating your tone! Are you using any cabs or IRS? Preamp or Amp? Any info is appreciated!
I just started with a blank. I added a compressor as I currently have that now. I put an 808 drive and chorus blocks next. Then I did the B15 preamp and 115 cab. I think they're a high and low pass "EQ" block as well. Nothing special. Tweaked settings for each to what I thought sounded good.
I know there are tons of presets available online from other users. Just haven't had time to figure that part out yet. Honestly, all I need is one solid patch for church so I'm good to go as of now. When I get more time I'll experiment some more. Super busy right now.
 
After a long hiatus, I finally get to bring the thunder for Jesus again. If sounding this good is wrong, I don't wanna be right! A Stomp would be much easier to carry, but this is fun. 3-4 years of flipping pedals in search of the perfect tone and I think I've finally got it dialed in. I can finally stop searching and buying pedals, right?

. . . . . nah.

The fact that you brought that out in public really bothers me, fortunately the Spirit does his best work with a mess.

Used the LG3000 into the Stomp today. Even used the Chorus I saved on button 2 a coupe times. It sounded fantastic.

I played a cover gig last night with my analog rig (Empress/REDDI) and my bass sounded just as good this morning - and I had chorus available for a spur of the moment variation. The Stomp is starting to convince me. Still waiting on the Berg pedal, but the use of effects (and the ability to use it for my IEM's as well thanks to @furym) the Stomp may be gaining ground as the favorite.

With that birdsnest, I'm surprised you found a spot to plug your bass in!!! Are you sure they are all connected? If you trace the wires out, you might find that your bass is going straight into the amp with all those pedals bypassed....:D

Should I share a picture of my pedalboard in the newish suitcase I have it in?
Some packaging with foam in it provided the rest of what I need to protection in the suitcase.

Been having issues getting pictures off my tablet onto the computer--but I'll give it a shot...

Lol. When the pedalboard is a metaphor for life. It's really not as bad as it looks. The main problem was trying to cram that ginormous Suncoast and a crossover onto the board. The old faithful Monster bass cables make it a bit of a mess. I need more of those EBS flat patch cables. But it works for now. And most of the actual stomping is done on the channel switcher or the pedals along the bottom anyway. But yeah, it's a mess. There was no easy way to do it. It took several tries to get it all to fit.

It's sad. It's a great little pedal, but he's in the timeout corner due to no fault of his own. He got booted when the Sentinel came along. Incredibly different pedals, but for me they served the same purpose.
