Worship Bass Pedalboards

That's a cool way of doing the holes for the tubes. Probably much easier to DIY than the slots.
The holes took some time to hand drill, but these were my very first builds. I'm happy with them, but now I use the Tayda Tool Box service where they cut out the shapes you want [within limits ;) ] before they UV print the design you give them.
As you can guess I have a "thing" for tube driven! Here's one I'm working on at the moment...

Moved back to an 18” board when serving at a couple of our church plants.

The Lowrider is a very interesting pedal. It “kind of” replicates the Pultec trick, but actually does a really good job of emulating a little labs VOG without taking up the sub harmonic bandwidth. It doesn’t work all the time, but when it does WOW it makes an impact!
 
I updated my pedalboard :)

The Noble is on a separate effect loop. This way, I can place it first, split my signal in 2. One is my Dry signal, and the other one goes through my effects. It allows me to record the Noble and my effects separately.

Otherwise, I usually place the Noble last.

As both loops are routed to my patchbay, I only have to change one patch cable to go from one configuration to the other.

I love it !
Don't know if it's just a good shot but that bass looks great

Coming back to this post, how do you use your Microcosm? I have a tunnel preset I like for doing synth-fills between songs or to intro, but I'd love ideas to expand its use.

Posted this on the P&W Bassist and the dedicated DCX thread, thought I'd share here as well. Cool micro-board.

It is pretty cool for minimalists, but statements like "My ... (it's all you need)" turn me off. No. It's all *he* needs. And that's great. But goofy blanket statements make me want to not even watch/read/listen/whatever.
Sorry. Microrant over!

In many ways.
I can use it as a regular looper.
I love the interrupt modes. With heavy drive beforhand (MBD), it gets some weird Cyberpunk futuristic glitchy vibes.
More often, I play different chords on the Mosaic D program with lots of reverb to create an ambiance and hold it. Then I play bass on top of it, with reverb as well (Slö, Dream mode). Dreamy mood.

Here is an example of what I like to do with it :

I played my fretless bass, looped it in the microcosm, then plugged a keyboard into my pedalboard. It goes into the slö then into the Microcosm.
