Worship Bass Pedalboards

Swapped out the Darkglass Infinity on my board for the Two Notes Opus and could not be happier. Sounded great in the IEMs and the sound guy and worship pastor really liked the way it sounded in the house!

Just curious. What did you not like about the Darkglass Infinity? I have some interest in them and looking for opinions….

I am going to be real honest...I have a gear problem. I am always tone chasing and wanting to try new stuff. This forum and youtube are a bad influence. The infinity is awesome, but I wasn't really using any of the distortion/overdrive side of it. I really like all of the DynIR options that Two Notes has.

Exactly... I posted the same exact thing yesterday... and yet... we're still here, and continue to watch YouTube videos.:facepalm:

it will never end, I really wish there were some sort of gear library to try things out. My local stores don't have the stuff I am looking for so I buy it based on video reviews and then when I try it in my rig it's not the same. Would love to be able to try things out in a real world scenario before I buy it.

You would think that bassist in the "Worship Pedalboards" and "P&W Club" threads would be content with our gear... These are the 2 threads that corrupted me since joining TB. Worship bassists are the worst... and influenced me into buying things I don't need.:bawl:

LOL... hope everyone knows I'm just kidding... hahaha. Love to see all the gear everyone has, because we all share common experiences on the stage in worship. Hope everyone is having a great day.... and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

This. Folks say, man, you change pedals a lot. Well, it's the only way you can really figure out what you're after.

I get this. There are two things you can do:
1. Buy used and be smart about it. Then, if something's not a keeper, you can move it along with little to no loss.
2. Make friends with folks on TB. I borrow gear from (select) people and lend my stuff in return.

100%. I have learned so much about both gear and my own preferences by trying scores of pedals. And it's really refined my ear as well. That education is invaluable to me.
 
:whistle:
I wanted to like the Infinity. At the time it had everything I wanted in one pedal. But I thought it was just to aggressive. Darkglass and Dingwall both suffer from that association with aggressive, heavy rock thing. I know both can do other things but…

What I've found is that the ABs and Supers (with no preamp) come across as passive-aggressive.



BaDum-Tsss! I'll see myself out.
 
View attachment 5262193 I think, at the ripe old age of 62 (on Monday), that I have finally settled on the pedals and the order of my board. These all work so wonderfully together, and are so responsive to dynamics, that I can't imagine replacing or moving anything!
Happy AlmoBirthday to you! Blessings all year long.
 
Because of noise or because they don't have power jacks? You can buy 9 V battery clip to "Boss style" jack adapters.

Thats the thing, the cheap darn things have a 9V power jack, I tried using them without the battery installed, no dice. It seems they need the battery to complete the circuit, you can use the battery as a power supply, or plug it into the power jack once it's dead. It will still work. I haven't replaced the batteries since getting them. They've gotten lots of use, I always just plug the 9V jack in when I want to use them regardless.
 
First Sunday trying out the Simplifier and very impressed. Being able to mix my own clean/dirty blend with the clean signal low passed at 100hz and all going through an 8x10 cab sim was the best DI/IEM tone I've gotten. In a perfect world I'd be sending separate clean and dirty signals to foh and letting them mix it but this works for our current setup. Still finding the octamizer a bit too aggressive sounding for what I want in church. Probably gonna let that one go.
