Worship Bass Pedalboards

What are some of your favorite purchased presets and what do they include?
IMA's Ultimate DI and Signature patches, (cleanish, med drive, wild presets on both) the SVT Dual Cab (clean, light, heavy presets (although I doctored with some octave to get a EHX BMS sound on 3rd preset)), Alembic F-2B HX and Church Comp patches from Dr Tone (not sure if that website is even up at the moment), and then I scored a limited time free Worship preset off a YT channel that I can't seem to recall, but it's got a killer set - cleanish first, then rat-style drive, and one of the best Bethel BMS presets I've found.
 
I did some more A/B tests with my analog pedals and the Stomp. I have a RevivalDrive that I love, but stopped using because there is a slight delay when kicking it on. I bought a Saturnworks effects loop pedal to use with the RD, and that solves the issue, but that's two pedals and I was out of room as it is. Then it hit me...the Stomp has an effects loop...hmm, wait a minute, hold up. Then I thought about that Temple board in the basement. So, I spent the evening putting this together:

(As always, settings are off due to the knobs moving when I was putting it together.)
Getting closer to Bryce Vaughn's board with every tweak. He runs his Kilt through the Stomp loop and uses the Noble at the end of the chain.

I would love to hear the revival drive on bass.

The fx loops are soooo handy. On my large board I have my LA-1A and BMS in fx loops of the HXS. Being able to move them around in the signal chain because of this is invaluable.

If you get a tour gear or rockboard flat TRS splitter cable you can have 2 mono FX loops. So useful.
2 mono FX loops is how I'm planning to use my HX Stomp. But I'll be making my TRS splitter cable with SP square patch cable connectors (1x TRS SP550-s to 2x TS SP400's), which I'm currently using on my current board. Just waiting for one more pedal... hopefully early next week... so I can start soldering my patch cables at custom lengths. Can't wait to experiment putting both pedals in series, parallel, or split options. Even if I'm planning to use analog pedals, the HX Stomp is still very useful in routing options... and still be able use presets and effects if needed.

The Kilt and 385 talk has me intrigued. I've been tempted to try the Kilt as I've recently dropped down to a tuner>PC-2A>CAPO. I really like the B side drive for the CAPO but I'd like something else to stack for heavier drive. The Bassed channel did a few cool Kilt>CAPO demo's.

I've been really tempted to try the SushiBox Tarantula Fuzz too.
 
I played around with the compressors a lot more in the Stomp. I decided that I don't love the limiting thing. It makes sense in theory, but it's so much more exciting to use it to fatten up the tone. I have a nice tone sweetener on the first footswitch and I'm going to repeat the process from last service....see how it sounds and have the option of stomping it off.
I also really like the ability to easily program the footswitches. I have my 4-5 main effects, and depending on the set, I can arrange them wherever I want. Right now, I have octave on the third footswitch. Last service, I didn't need it, but we did Same God, so I had chorus on the 3rd switch. It's just so easy.
As far as overdrive, the Stomp could work. But, it's hard to give up my favorite ODs. I'm excited to see how my newest board version does on Sunday.
 
This Sunday will be:
The Joy (overdrive)
Who You Say I Am (overdrive)
Holy Forever (octave for the short synth parts. Not enough to hook up the Moog)
Made For More (overdrive)
I love Made For More. Our church has been playing it lately. We have also been doing a mash between Hard Fought Hallelujah and Made For More. Sounds pretty cool.

What version of Holy Forever are you doing? I would like to hear the synth parts you are talking about.

I was actually thinking I should have been more specific. Haha. We are doing the CeCe Winans version. There is a short synth part that I cover with the octave pedal on the intro and pre chorus.
There is another part later on too. It's just a few short sections.
