Worship Bass Pedalboards

They are a super cool company, I believe it is ran by one guy. A lot of the pedals he supplies I don't typically see elsewhere. For example, I just discovered Nordvang on his website and they make some seriously cool stuff.

Never saw one of these before.....

At its core, the UwU is an opamp-based signal buffer.

It features 1 megaohms of input impedance and 25 ohms of output impedance and 18V of signal headroom.

It is compact, solid and quiet and will allow a longer chain to retain the full tone of the instrument being played.

Inspired by the Tamagotchi toys of the 1990s, its OLED screen greets the player on the first power up with a small egg.

When an incoming signal is detected, the creature reacts to it in realtime, as is shown by a set of fun on-screen animations.

As the instrument is played, experience points accumulate and a progress bar slowly fills up.

Playing longer will result in experience multiplication bonuses being applied in real time, adding to the enjoyment of the game.

When the maximum amount of experience is reached, a level up screen is shown and transitions into the next evolution of the creature.

Progress is saved between power cycles using a coin cell battery, in the spirit of old cartridge-based console games.

The UwU is fun and provides an ideal incentive, especially for young players, to practice their instrument!
 
My board is bigger than I'd like...18x12, but it only has 3 effects on it. But, I also have to have my 'amp' on the board since we have a silent stage. And we are wireless, so I have the receiver on there. And I have to be in tune, so...anyone remember The Jerk where he says 'I don't need anything. Except this ashtray. But that's all I need...and this lamp."? That's kind of how I feel about effects.
 
He mentioned that as well. But if you've ever play an EVH guitar (my son has one) and 5150 amp (at the store) it sounds glorious I must say. No different I suppose than a good bass to a good (tube?) amp.
By the time there were 5150s, Eddie could afford to buy entire pedal companies. But I'm sure the guitar would sound glorious through a Marshall on a Variac as well.

Could I get some help powering these pedals? I think all I need is w a CIOCKS DC7, correct? From what I understand I can power the Stomp XL from 2 outlets? Advice on the cable I would need to do this? Can I safely chain a few of the other pedals together, too? The DG AO will be swapped in and out with a Origin Effects Bass Rig and ToneHammer from time-to-time until I find the one I like best so 18v will be needed for that line sometimes. I've been looking at a Trickfish Minnow which needs 12v. Will this suit all my needs?

Aside from 'always on' pedals like comp and saturation, etc, what effect does everyone use the most?

At first thought, I was going to say overdrive, but I actually think it is octave. I use it a lot for synth type stuff. It may also have to do with the fact that I really like the Octabvre, but haven't found an overdrive that makes me want to use it when the song isn't heavily overdriven. Last would be chorus, but I have been using it with the octave with some nice results.

Actually, another question just popped in my head....what are your 'always on' pedals? Mine would be the preamp, and I'm still deciding if I want to leave the compressor in the chain. Last week, I took it out, but now that it's back in, I'm liking it.

Always-on: compressor (I used it for tone thickening, not control of dynamics) + HPF + tube DI
Most-used effect that isn't always on: overdrive

Retro reel for saturation is one in most of my patches. That or the tube comp are the closest the stomp comes to offering tube-type effects.

Outside of that, prob Clawthorne drive or one of the chorus options set pretty mild.

Always on, Tuner (engaged while turning)>Fermata Comp>Rowin NS>SA Zio>FOH. That's it for me.

Always on is cali76, Broughton high pass, preamp of some sort, condor, and deco

Always on: GXLD16+ in dual mode with always on tuner, Empress Bass Comp, Oracle preamp/DI
Often used: Doom2
Sometimes used: Octabvre, HX Stomp (afraid I'm mainly using for delay/reverb)
Rarely used: C4 - I love this pedal and wish I could use it more - doesn't really fit into the songs we're currently doing
