I've used the Aguilar and the MXR Octaves. The MXR has stayed on my board for about 4 years now. I cheat low B with it and use it for synthy textures both.

I would avoid the OC3, but I'm lucky enough to have a OC2. The 3leaf Octabve looks great for the OC2 style (next on my list). I just got the TC subnup which I'm still playing with, but seems good, tracks nicely. Best thing if you can go try some and see what you like.
The Aggy is leading the pack so far. I like the separate clean and octave volumes.

MXR Has this feature as well. In fact it has independant controls on both octave voices too.
Nice!
Absolutely love my Noble..
Plus I'm working on adding some "fun" pedals... and a volume pedal, but that's confusing territory for me... there's so many, and so many types that I have no clue which to try
I tried the Agular in a shop liked it a lot, but couldn't see what it offered that I didn't already have. Looks like a good solid pedal and a great choice.

OC2 first then Meatbox. I never engage them together, that's just ridiculous! OC2 is for more moving lines and synthy sounds, Meatbix is for when I want ultra low rumble in the entire room, usually playing whole notes or longer sustained notes

Love my noble as well. It made me fall in love with my dry tone for the first time ever. Now all the effects I've added back are just icing. Have fun! Playing around is half the fun.
Hey, need some chain order advice...I currently use a small board at church (and other venues), and have resisted (for years) the temptation to go GAS crazy with pedals (I've got enough "restraint issues" with basses, amps, and cabs
)...
My current chain:
Bass>
Shure Digital Wireless Pedal>
TC SpectraComp Mini>
TC Corona Mini>
TC Flashback mini>
TC HOF full size>
TC Ditto mini>
Broughton HPF mini>
Preamp
I have a TC Sub'N'Up incoming...where best to place it in my chain?

I really like the EHX Micro POG. If you combine the POG, a bass chorus and a swell delay/reverb, you get a really nice organ sound.
Had to hit a MXR in the classifieds. Might try an EHX Micro POG and see which one I like best.
Generally it's best to have octave effects early in the chain so they get the cleanest signal. I have mine after my Spectracomp.
Try it, you can always move it around and see what works for you
Hi everyone. I've been playing bass in worship bands for years, but have always just tuned up, plugged in and played. I have only recently got a pedal tuner (TU-3) and also an MXR M81 Preamp/DI as I needed something with DI to go into the PA. Though it seemed to make sense to have a DI box that doubles as a Preamp, giving some EQ options, I am not totally convinced about the M81, (its so transparent its like its not even there) and wonder if I should have just got a plain Radial DI instead. But I'll probably stick with the M81 for now anyway!
So, even though I only have 2 pedals I kind of feel I should get a small board such as the Pedaltrain Nano. Of course it will then look silly with just 2 pedals on! So, I am curious what TWO pedals I could potentially add if I do get the Nano. How would you complete that board? I am thinking its likely that things like Chorus, Octaver, Compressor, Overdrive, etc will be suggested but I am open to any ideas. Or given Jesse Hughes opinion of "Out there, it sounds like a bass", should I just go for simplicity and make myself a tiny board for the 2 pedals I already have?
Also as I am totally new to pedalboards, I'm trying to figure out about power supply. I have seen a 'One Spot' mentioned, am I right to think that you just plug this into the start of your chain (Tuner) and then it will power every other pedal after you've linked them all with patch cables?
Thanks for your help

I have a Pedaltrain Nano with a TU-2, MXR87 and a JDI. I also have a rolls PM50s on there for my IEM's. Works great.

It's actually the Pedaltrain pedal booster PT-PB3. Found a used one for cheap and it works great.
