Worship Bass Pedalboards

Anyone use those cut rom length and screw in the end to the cable kits? I need some patch cables and thought I’d try one of those kits. I need small angled ends, 18” and 9” cable length not counting the plugs.

I do and I’ve been impressed with them. You just need to trim them to get a fresh smooth contact if and whenever you change or unfasten them.

My board (and it’s iterations) have been jostled around pretty good with my soft case and I’d highly recommend them if you were looking for easy custom cable lengths.

I've been using the same George L's since 2016 with no issues. But I've never changed them. I built them to the length and configuration then left them alone. They have been moved around and plugged to various pedals and such but never loosened the heads. I think if you don't loosen them up and fiddle with them once set you're gtg

Cioks here as well. (DC7) I like the DC7 because if I decide to add more pedals to the board (or a pedal or three that requires a lot of current), I'm set. Each outlet is also totally isolated from the others (which I believe is true for other Cioks models).

The One Spot could work for you depending on whether your pedals play nice with each other (but the connections in the chain are not isolated from each other).

I use the EBS patch cables. I haven't had any problems with them (the gold ones are a little pricy). I'm sure others might have some cheaper alternative cable suggestions.

I have no experience with the HX Stomp (but that is on my radar!).

I sprung for the EBS gold. I expect they'll be the last I have to buy.

Better than playing Galaga while on duty on the bridge of a helicarrier.

Tomorrow morning I'm leaving my board at home and just playing through my Super 800+ pre. Haven't played without a board in several years. This will be different!

the last couple weeks I been using only the Khan VTDI (no knobs to turn) and my American pro P 5 (only 2 knobs to turn) and I find it’s very refreshing to have nothing to think about really and it just sounds like a clean b15 - ish in my IEM’s. Even the drummer(s) have said in sound check (the bass sounds so… smooth!) I guess the toobz don’t lie.

No more wondering about “well what if I had tweaked this, or tried this, or set this one pedal this way…”

to be fair though - I have been filling in at a couple different churches that are smaller with less instruments, maybe just keys/drums/bass or maybe a guitar instead of keys. But I know if I did it at my home church, none would be the wiser (the bane of our existence) :roflmao:

I think for me: simpler is better. At least for certain occasions.

Let us know if you feel… liberated? Try it a couple times and see.

Yeah, my bass > tuner > REDDI was really good. Add an Emprrss Bass Compressor and an Empress Para Deluxe EQ and it was about as good as it gets. If I didn’t “need” effects and synth sounds, that would still be my rig. Best I ever had. While my Stomp doesn’t sound/feel EXACTLY like that, it is REALLY close, especially live in the mix, and I have effects, my bass synth, all on a Nano board. I’ve decided the 15% I lose in tone and feel (which no one notices but me) is worth it for the “all in one” I get with the Stomp. At least for now. Add in some nice presets I’ve purchased and it’s working out really well.

Lots of people run a Stomp into a tube DI. I don’t because part of using the Stomp for me is being small and light. Also, no one really noticed a big difference, not a $700+ difference though.

But yeah, I have no doubt a Stomp through a Khan, Noble, REDDI, etc. would sound great.

Well, my arms felt liberated during load-in as the one case was lighter!
I missed my tuner, comp, and the rest. I’ll do this every now and then, but’s not the new norm.
