Worship Bass Pedalboards

[kirkdickinson]

Used HX Stomp ($525) + Pedalnetics 2 button footswitch ($61) + Polytune 3 Mini tuner ($100) + Dunlop DVP4 volume pedal ($140) + Cioks Sol ($180) = $1006

Volume pedal is handy. I miss that in my current setup.

Since I started using a multi of some kind in my chain I just used that to do any swells.

What about something like this:

My first choice for a tuner pedal is the Peterson HD mini. I have the older HD and it is awesome. I want to get the mini to save some space on that board. The Cali76 is a great compressor, but might be a little complicated for someone who has never used one. One of the Keeley Bassist pedals is cheaper and easier to figure out. Or others. Anadime is my favorate Bass Chorus, but EHX Bass Clone is a decent option and a lot cheaper. The Darkglass Alpha Omicron and the Tone Hammer might cover some of the same ground, but it is really nice to have that tone shaping at the end of the chain and it is a really good DI.

I think those are great choices. I also like the EHX Bass Clone and Keeley Bassist as alternatives.

I don't use [my volume pedal] as much as I might, but I use it enough to be really glad I have it.

Would I appreciate / enjoy using a volume pedal? Yes I would.

Would I appreciate getting the evil eye / stink-face look from the sound guy when I changed my volume? No I would not.

The weird thing is, what I hear in the mix can vary from service-to-service (and 'twasn't me to fiddling with sliders / volume / EQ!).

I used to use mine to fade in and out and to mute, but never to regulate volume.

I would vary my volume with a volume control otherwise, just not as often. And my volume changed with finger dynamics. A sound person should know that’s what happens. I was one for years, so I am comfortable making that statement. 8^)

Ah, but having it right before the pre/DI lets me control volume just as I would with the bass knobs, but without changing the driv level into the FX chain.

I’m in the same situation at my church. I like a bunch of pedals and effects and synth stuff but the other bass players are just plug and play. So I made a church board with just a tuner, compressor and tonehammer

I agree about a simplistic set-up but I'm actually having great results with just a tuner, Tone Hammer, and Effectrode PC-2A compressor in the mix and in the IEM's. Warm, fat, slightly grunty when digging in (AGS always on), sits great in the mix, and makes me smile when reviewing our set between services and watching the Youtube video at home. Never used a volume pedal since I play P basses and just use the volume knob to decay or mute but it seems a lot of folks have them.

Any thoughts on the Darkglass Vintage Ultra vs Bass Revolt? I only use the first two channels on the revolt. I have the CAB M+ with the revolt currently.

 

[Worshipbass12]

Darkglass ultra pedals are known to have a lot of hiss through the DI especially with the cab sim on. Plus Darkglass has a mid cut that is very hard to dial out. In my not expert just a mediocre bassist opinion you would be better off with the Revolt

I wanted to like the Darkglass Infinity for an “all in one” DI but it was just too much. Oddly, I find myself using the “Obsidian 7000” on my Stomp which is the Darkglass B7K Ultra model.

I did as well but oddly I used it as a clean tone. Turned the drive off

 

[rg07]

What about the Sansamp Bass DI vs the Revolt. I just am looking for that worship bass sound with a bit of edge breakup for heavier moments. I have tried the Tone Hammer but was not a fan of the volume change from the AGS

I’m using it as an effect. Into the SVT4Pro.

What is “that worship bass sound”?

I believe the consensus is to use the AGS always on at low gain instead of thinking of it as an OD pedal or dual channel DI.

That is an Aguilar tone hammer with a bass microsynth. That's what's on all the big names boards

Yeah the tone hammer is more of an either or pedal. You can't use both without major volume change
