Some people say they are too expensive. IDK, you're getting experience, a critical ear, and they seem to work so that's worth it to me.

Worship Bass Pedalboards

I had the money on hand and ordered one new. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have… but I do love the khan so much, and so do others. The noble will have to really bring something special to take its place.
If you're interested, I would grab either the IMA presets or maybe some from David Curran? (I havent tried his) just to get started while you get familiar with the helix platform.
Since you have a noble already I'd just use that and move down to a nano+ . To me, I still have a small board that sounds killer.
I decided to go that route (stomp) instead of swap pedals out to find what I like.
I didn't have experience with different effects and didn't know what I would use where and when but the stomp made it feasible for me. I figured I could try different effects without spending a ton of money and it turns out i am really happy with it. It's also cool that line 6 continues to put out updates with new stuff for them, so it's like the gift that keeps on giving.
I don't have a desire to try other pedals. The stomp will get you ~ 90% "there" and none will be the wiser.
I was hesitant… but now that I've had it for 7-8 months I think? I never want to be without it. If it broke, I'd buy another immediately.

Yeah, 90% there is all I need. No one noticed in a venue. The Stomp and presets have allowed me to get my gear down to a Nano+ with a GLXD+, the Stomp and a Radial Pro just in case. All powered with a DC7 underneath.
The Radial Pro is fine. I'm debating a JDI to take it up a notch, and even a Noble to go really overboard.

I've considered a JDI just cuz, many times… but I already have a Sansamp bddi V2 in my bag as a "all else fails" backup. Phantom power, blend all the way off = active EQ DI or there's some amp/cab sim something if wanted or no plug ins available from sound board…
At the church we were a part of before this one, when they went silent stage, they just left a SansAmp on stage at the bass station. Later a REDDI took its place (and I fell in love).
Trying effects is free at music stores.
i work 55-60 hours a week mon-fri so my Saturdays are special and Sundays I'm always up somewhere.
I TOO USE REVERB ALL THE TIME.......not a lot, but light and a little shimmery. I play a lot of fretless usually and I've moved about 250 miles from my house for work and only have one fretted bass with me! Yes, I'm jonesing! Comp./Verb/a bit of Chorus/ and a bit of delay on slower songs, running through my old Tech 21 VT Bass DI.
While I really love reverb on bass, lately I've been using a dual delay with moderate feedback on my Meris LVX darn near all the time. It's absolute fire!!
I run it in the effects loop of a Broughton FFXL, which allows me to retain my core tone while effecting 300Hz and above.
Good luck finding a store that carries the pedals we tend to be curious about.Trying effects is free at music stores.
I went from 5-6 boutique pedals to a stomp and 3 pedals to just the stomp by itself most times now. You're spot on about being 90%, that's how I describe it although I'd argue the octave and modulation effects are on par with the best out there for bass.
Can I tell the difference between boutique pedals and the stomp in headphones? Yes. Can the audience tell the difference in a mix? Sadly, I don't think so.
Agreed. Same for delays and reverbs. All these effects played in stereo are gorgeous, as well.

I have a few pedals on my board that would be hard to give up. They are like 99% pedals. The Noble and Octabvre are just what I'm looking for. And the Shure wireless is a keeper.
I am happy with the Horrothia One chorus. It isn't super versatile, but it just sounds great, and I really don't use it on a lot of songs. And then I have the Teeth pedal, which is my favorite overdrive, but I'm still looking for something that makes me want to stomp on it more.
So, making the jump to the Stomp might not be right for me. I know 90% is more than enough, but it's hard to give up the Noble and Octabvre. And if I kept them, I would still have the same real estate taken up on my board. I am now thinking that a better use of funds would be to find the 99% overdrive pedal and then my board would be complete. But, that could change in an hour.

Maybe there should be a worship bass IEM thread
either 64 audio N8's or KZ zs10 pro's

I really like KZs & have half a dozen or more different sets. They're a great bang for your buck.
I'm currently running the ZSNs + 16 Core Silver Cable + Foam Tips.
