Forget the V2… this is the one you want
That's a TH clone with the a switchable drive and volume?
Can't believe someone can do it and not Aguilar. Just adds to the disappointment IMHO.

For worship specifically a key bass for synth/sub stuff. Try not to think of the amount of hours and $$$ I spent doing it on bass guitar when a $250 analog synth blows it all out of the water. Adding sub bass to quiet parts of songs really adds to the worship music experience. Plus it frees up space on the pedalboard for other stuffSo, I'd love to hear from our members - if you had to pick one -- what was your favorite pedal purchase of 2024? And why?
2024 Best Pedal Purchase: So, 2024 was my introduction to worship pedals. My big church's five bass players generally plug direct into the churches RNDI and just play. I got with our worship leaders and tech staff, got their buy-in to assemble and use a bigger bass pedal board and the journey started. After countless pedal demo videos, song play throughs, bass cams, buying/selling/returning lots of pedals, and excellent member to member coaching and advice, I feel much more confident in my collection of go-to pedals that seem to work well together and give me the maximum utility and some cool sounds. I was heavily influenced by the "Bethel" bass sound and the Bryce Vaughn gear/tones and pursued those tools to a great extent. But I've recently modulated back off that signature sound and am finding my own voice to a greater degree.

Here is a fun 2024 gear review video, as well.
Great twist on the bass pedal search.... Yes, I think 2025 may be the year of the key/bass synth for me.

You've really had my gears spinning after posting yours you got recently. Even if I didn't fit it in our worship sets I'd still like to mess with one.

Arturia Mini brute 2. They are $250-$350 used. Awesome little 25 key synth. That or the Novation bass station would be perfect for worship.What synth are you using?
I wonder about this as well.I have a Novation and I've used it live just a couple times. But, for the 1 or 2 sounds I use it for…I can get close enough with a C4 and some technique. It's not worth the hassle of setting it up.

You're probably not going to be doing any complex filtering or sequencing. 80%+ is just -2 octave sine wave. Moogs are a little overkill imo, but I still wish I had one![]()
I feel that. Ours has so much he wants to be able to do. 2025 is looking better for him with building projects we have going on. And thankfully most volunteers provide their own great gear. But the fill in bassists had like nothing, I finally gave him a Tech 21 Sansamp DI so they could at least use some drive and such haha.I asked my WL about getting iPads six months ago lol. I won't hold my breath on getting a synth if I asked
No busting out the Skrillex effects mid set?Arturia Mini brute 2. They are $250-$350 used. Awesome little 25 key synth. That or the Novation bass station would be perfect for worship.
