Worship Bass Pedalboards

Probably use this tomorrow morning. More than I will ever need for worship, but I want to use my newly acquired small clone chorus for a couple of parts, and I love the THDI when using IEM only.

I would love to know your thoughts on the Small Clone... the videos I've watched it sounds exactly what im looking for. But we know how videos go...
I saw somewhere EHX has a smaller "bass" version now

Been a little while since I've posted - board's been pretty stable for a few months - meeting the needs of the worship band + covers band - plenty of modern and vintage tones, synth sounds and lead sounds (plus some ambient stuff for fun!).

Run direct into a Berg IP112ER/EX112ER stack, so the Tone Hammer is the main pre.

Enjoying seeing everyone's boards!

Only had it a day! It's really just a simple basic chorus but it does it really well IMO. There are some amazing Chorus pedals around at the moment for Iron Ether, EQD, Moog etc, and I'd love to have them, but they are so much more than I actually need. The 2 depth settings are tasteful and the rate goes as slow and fast as I'll ever need. It doesn't seem to tone suck, and doesn't seem to lose bottom end, and the volume doesn't seem to cut or boost when turned on. There is a minimal pop when I hit the switch, but that maybe because I have everything daisychained. Only bummer is the jack power socket - fortunately mine came with the adaptor.

I got mine for just over 1/2 what they cost new here in Australia on ebay. Which is a darn sight cheaper than the high end ones I listed above.

I think the Neo clone is the smaller version, I did read a couple of reviews that said was noisy - but I can't validate as I've not played it. I was after a Pedal with top jacks.

**EDIT** The other pedal I was super keen to try was the Dunlop/MXR Blue Hippo.

First time posting in this thread, although been here on TB Effects for a while now. Reconfigured the board yesterday, and the engineer came up to me to say how well the bass was sitting in the mix today.

ParaEQ as my main tone shaper for a passive bass I play. Then goes into a looper. Loop A drives the Siegmund tube preamp, what I use most of the time fingerstyle. Loop B feeds the Dual Bass Station with Ch A set for slap mid scoop, and Ch B set for melodic solo back pickup sound. The HOF is also in this loop.

This gives me access to three highly useable yet distinct sounds that I can access on the fly with the flick of a switch without any knob twirling or pedal gymnastics.

Nice, clean looking board. What is your preamp?

Thanks. I assume you're talking about the big silver thing, since there are in actuality three preamps on the board. It's a Siegmund Micro Tube Double Drive, first "real" pedal I bought over 10 years ago and one of the few that's been a mainstay on my boards over the years.

The ParaEQ is great as a pre to sculpt the main sound of my bass. Then I push it through either the Siegmund or the Bass Station to give it a vintage or modern vibe respectively.

Forgot to mention the board signal then goes straight to the mixing board. Love going amp-less and doing IEMs.

Both knobs can't go past 11. It has very much noise. A big drop in volume, and it also give me distort I don't want. I like how it colors the sound, but can't stand the noise. Sounds good with knobs at around 10 and 11.

Strange. I run mine with the sustain at 11 o'clock and level at 12, medium attack, with absolutely no noise, distortion, or drop in volume (and I'm hitting it hard, with a Seymour Duncan quarter pound P Pickup). What else is in the chain that is on at the same time?

I have a Boss TU3, BassPReacher, EH Epitome3, TC Arena, Boss ME50B. In that order. I even tried running the BassPreacher alone. Same result.
The noise starts somewhere between 10 and 11.
Noise don't bother me when playing with my coverband, but ...

Nice set up, I'm using some similar pedals myself! How do you like the Octamizer in comparison with the Subterranea?

For me they're different beasts for different vibes (which is why I have both on the board). The Octamizer I find to be more organic - does a great subtle "sub-bass" with the filter all the way down, but also a great growly synth sound with the filter at the other extreme. The SubT is so versatile - adding in the sub and uni synth is almost like having a fuzz in line (and add a filter after and it's very tasty!). I bought the SubT thinking I'd replace the Octamizer, but I find they're good for different things, and having two octave settings on hand (without having to fiddle with knobs between songs) works for me.
