Worship Bass Pedalboards

Hi,
Has anyone tried the jad freer capo?
It looks and sounds amazing.
Cheaper then noble and the sound is very similar.








I love my Capo! Since I've started using it more and being intentional with what I want out of it, my desire for a Noble has diminished significantly - actually I haven't even really thought about a Noble in a while now.
 
Which songs is it? I rarely play synth but I may recommend more songs with it :)
This set is Crowns Down, You Keep Your Promises, Praise and Worthy of it All.
I'd have to go back and look through our set lists, but House of the Lord, Gratitude, That's the Power, Make Room, Sinking Deep and So Will I are good ones for synth too.
Then there are songs that don't have synth on the recording, but I can sneak it in.

Crowns Down and You Keep Your Promises are synth heavy, although the parts aren't super exciting. Praise has some nice synth stuff, but I also have to cover the bass part. For Worthy of it All, we added some synth/E drums on the intro and first chorus. Then I switch to bass. But, there is a cool synth part under the bass.
 
The 18" board for this Sunday. It's Bryce Vaughn inspired with DCX core tone, drive pedal, BMS, and HX effects. I took off the Tone Hammer and added a Messenger Jr, which I am liking at the moment. I get to use the Bass Station synth on Feb 2 at my main big church.

By the way.... my Nashville bass mentor suggested Rotosound Swing Bass strings. And while I grew up with Chris Squire and Geddy Lee, somehow I have never tried the Rotosounds. Put them on my Fender Precision. They are pretty awesome and make all the pedals sound better. I'm getting that Dingwall piano-like tone with a 34" scale bass.
 
How are you liking DCX + Messenger vs DCX + TH?
Right now I am pleasantly surprised. I have developed an affinity for fuzz as my next level drive effect. So, the DCX run with a good bit of saturation (cleanish with light fingers, driving with a pick) and the Calamity fuzz for heavier drive gets me some lovely tones and not missing the Tone Hammer (yet). A little EQ contouring with the Messenger, and the recent addition of Rotosound steels -- I'm getting some good stuff.

That looks killer. I am just running my Berg Super Pre this morning. I have a BMS inbound next week, so my big board will get retetrissed.

Would love to get recordings of your bass synth if you feel up to it.
 
His latest video has the Kilt in the FX loop for some clean blend. Think he has both in the FX loop?
I've got a splitter cable coming in so I can run 2 FX loops on the HX Stomp. I want to play around with where I run the BMS and my LA-1A Compressor not only in relation to each other, but also where they are in my signal chain. Generally I think I want the LA-1A before the BMS, but I want to build a patch for long sustained synthy notes that will require having heavy Comp (in the HXS) before the BMS and in that case I will move the LA-1A to after it. It's taking a lot to get my older brain around the possibilities of the HXS with effects loops, parallel paths etc
