Worship Bass Pedalboards

I have been debating a compressor a lot lately. I need to look at the Stomp compressors again and how I have them set. I have also debated going back to the Empress Bass Compressor again, but as I have a Stomp I feel I should try to start there. I have room on my board and power supply so I could, but I'm going to try tweaking a bit with the Stomp and see what I can do.
The stomp’s deluxe comp is a great saturator using Ian Martin Allison’s settings.
 
You weren't supposed to notice that.
This is my electric guitar mini board. It should tell you how I feel about that.

We all have bad days. I have no doubt you can come back from that.

My 'bigger board' project is coming along slowly. I've decided on the Subsonic octave and Everything We Don't Know About the Ocean Floor for chorus. In the process, I've decided to take the DCX out of the core tone and use it in OD mode as an effect.
But, that leaves a lot of extra space on the board. I was trying to get my core effects from the Stomp, but I found an analog octave and chorus that I really like...maybe I should explore the delays and reverbs more in the Stomp....

The Cloudburst is awesome. I had one, keep wanting to try it again. I just thought the "ensemble" effect was voiced perfectly for guitar but maybe not for bass.

Looking for some advice on a DI. Any recommendations?

I play Fender Jazz, P Bass and have a Dingwall Z3 with Neve Preamp on the way.

My previous church had a REDDI which sounded great but my new church just has cheap DI boxes. I’d like to get a nice DI that isn’t as expensive as the REDDI or as big.

I’ve read a bit about the Noble and RNDI.View attachment 7043541
Thanks for the advice. I went with the RNDI considering the high price of Kahn and Noble. Haven’t had the chance to try it out yet. That said the RNDI top looked too plain for me so I laser engraved the top. Much better!

Hi All, Here's the test of an idea I had that is working so far, and also my first pedal board setup post.
My goal was to create a pad/synth sound while playing other notes&tones on top.

Tuner>Compressor> XB Driver >XB Driver DI Out
then
XB Driver FX Send> Chorus > HX Stomp (boctaver (FS) /reverb (FS) / fuzzpi (FS) / regal (always on) / cabIR(always on) > XBD FX Return.
also
XB Driver Tuner out(clean signal)>Freeze> HX Stomp signal path B (compressor / shimmer back to signal A cab IR)

+Zoom R4 Recorder to record my output signal and another signal or mic for practice / learning purposes.

The Freeze was modified so I can use the external sustain pedal (bottom right) which allows the freeze to create a secondary signal that will hold a pad/synth sound while i'm still playing. I modified the Freeze also so that the signal output is 100% wet, so its only using the freeze + hx stomp b path when my foots on the sustain pedal. The two hotone external FS are set up to boost volume by ~15% when on, and the other one cuts my main signal so its only the pad signal, which can make some cool organ like tones when its only my Freeze's signal path.

Future plans - Swap TU2 (My first pedal), currently place holder for the shure wireless/tuner glxd16+ that I have yet to buy.
Also Swap out the Chorus for a vintage bass octave if I ever come across one, and likely move the chorus into a stomp block .

Sounds like a great setup.

Figured i put this here. Got pretty close to the microsynth with the hx stomp. Just messing around stumbled on this sound.

Would you mind adding your Stomp settings for the MicroSynth? I’ve purchased several from the top worship bassist and they don’t sound as close or good as yours. Great job man!
