Worship Bass Pedalboards

#13,843
I've never had an issue with having 'only' 25 keys for worship music. The octave buttons respond pretty quickly, and most of the time I set it for the whole song. There's a section in House of the Lord that I will drop an octave down for one note and then back up. But I probably don't even have to do that.

Wired up and ready to go. There's some overhang but it's not as bad as the pic suggests. If it works out, I'm just going to let it hang a bit.
The convenience of the Stomp is a huge plus. Even programming the effects next to each other to stomp on both (disable one, engage the other) is a game changer. I'm certainly exploring all the pros and cons, and I'm realizing that tone is only one aspect—-a HUGE aspect—-but there are other things to consider.
One thing I do know, even if I "love the Stomp and will never go back to analog," I'm sure I'll go back and forth many times. But it's all part of the fun.

That looks fantastic! Let us know how it works out.

There's a cool thing you can do with a 25 key synth by setting one oscillator -1 octave square wave, and second oscillator -2 octave sine wave. Set HPF to eliminate the square wave on the higher notes.

That gives you a clean sub sound on the right side of the synth and a fuzzier synth on the left half at the same frequencies for each side.

What a great little setup. I love the idea of running the Stomp into tubey-lusciousness and then out for all the world.

That's about all anyone needs right there. Good wireless. Good modeler. Good tube DI.

No on seemed interested in buying my Khan so I guess I'll keep it. I'm not sure how big a difference it made (I use a Noble based preset) but it's not that much more to haul around and it's paid for so…

Awesome. This format set up is becoming so widely used because it really does cover so much ground. Wireless/tuner HX, warm analogue pre. I'm sure it sounds fantastic.

This sounds interesting. I have a lot to explore on the Moog still. I've only scratched the surface.

Yeah, the wireless, Stomp, Noble seems like it can cover everything. It's going to be a tough decision. But, the good news is that both are probably good decisions.

The GLXD allows for different output basses with the gain adjust, and if you are running 2 transmitters, it is transmitter specific. You make the adjustment on the receiver, but it is programming the transmitter and it remembers it. So useful. I went through all my basses, with my most used bass as the reference and wrote down the +/- dB setting for each bass, so I can make the adjustment on the fly. (or set the transmitter on the other bass) No volume jumps, and all your effects in the HXS stomp react the same as they are always getting fed the same level signal.

That's really useful info. I was thinking about doing a different preset on the Stomp for each bass because my main preset doesn't work well with my Jazz bass. Do you use multiple transmitters then?

I ended up buying a second system second hand as it was not much more than buying a second transmitter and the lead etc. And it will be better for resale down the road. You just have to link both transmitters to the receiver which is super simple once you RTM and learn how to do it. You can leave the second transmitter on another board if you have one, you just have to relink the transmitters as the transmitters can only be linked to one receiver at a time, where as a receiver can be linked to multiple transmitters. Hope that makes sense.
