Worship Bass Pedalboards

there's a lot of people with the certifications that can't fix a sammich so keep on keepin on!!

you already found a tonehammer?!

if you get a bms on the way in the same day… you just confirm that we know you have a problem :D

I did & now a BMS is en route as well.... Also a Model feT for the Synth Board. :D

AND..... Those very well may be the last acquisitions for quite a while. :roflmao:

Thanks for all the help today, gents!! :bassist:

I tried the David Curran BMS patch on the stomp and it sounded a bit like a toy BMS.

For anyone trying to get a BMS tone on their rig without the expense and size of the BMS, I have found that the Broughton Calamity Big Muff clone after an Octave device is very very big sounding and gets close. I also tried the Pork and Pickle fuzz and it's not even close to the hugeness of the Calamity/Octave combo. For those week where I need a BMS-type big chorus but don't need the exact Bethel BMS signature tone, the Calamity/Octave works great. Plus, the Calamity by itself makes for a good OD tone (the fuzziness gets diluted in the mix). I'm very happy with the Calamity.
Calamity is the way.

Kind of struggled on what to use for my return to playing church services. Was thinking of a HXS, then a HXS into a Khan, or maybe a HXS into a capo, or Caveman into a reddi, or Capo into a Khan…..phew. Bought, demo'd, and return/sold quite a bit of gear. It got a little unnecessarily overwhelming.

Settled on the Capo and a comp (inserted into the Capos post fx loop). I have a new Cali76 on order. I'll try it when it gets here. What ever sounds the best with the Capo will go on this board. The other comp will go to my other board that's delegated for band use.

My little church board is ready (pedal train Nano Jr and fits in a mono tik bag).

honestly… any of those combos would work great.
I think we all fall into analysis paralysis sometimes.

Has anyone tried the Gladio pedal?
I saw it on someone's board but I don't remember who. I think it was a rig rundown video.

That was a Bryce Vaughn video where the Gladio was newly substituting for his DCX bass. I've been following them on Reverb ever since waiting for a good used one, but rarely appear. I would love to try one. Pricey and no track record here TB.

Haven't tried it. I like the idea of compressing the clean signal though.

Same, same, same.

I feel like one of us should buy one & send it round the circuit.

I wonder if Knox Guitars would sell me one sans Tax since I'm in California. Hmm.

The Nero also looks very cool.

The LT has arrived and it is glorious. I loaded my Stomp patches, added a few things to them (volume pedal for one) and it sounds…exactly the same. That's not an issue at all, it should sound exactly the same, but it has like a bazillion more buttons and options! And I love it! Definite upgrade.
As to the dual amp plan, it didn't work with separate amps and cabs but would work with the amp+cab single blocks in parallel. Lots of playing/experimenting in the future. For now, I have it set up with my familiar patches and can play/practice through my amp or through headphones with either my MacBook or my iPad.

Thanks. I've been eying them too.

Rock, paper, scissors?





Shoot!
