Worship Bass Pedalboards
- Thread starter Cshanks5

I use it frequently. All the ambient intros and softer sections, a little delay, a little modulation, makes a gorgeous layer. Add a touch octaver in front of it and its a lovely synth bass layer. Nothing huge, just tasteful layer. For anyone wanting to experiment, get a MXR Carbon Copy used cheap - it can do the same thing. You have to tweak the modulation internally, but it's a set and forget thing.

I just finished putting together my first pedal board. I play bass and guitar (acoustic and electric) so I have it set up for both.
Chain goes Mixer -> Tuner (Used as tuner/mute) -> EHX POG 3 -> FEA OPTIFET Compressor -> Cool Switch PRO (Switches between Guitar Amp, Bass Amp, or Both) -> Output A goes to the looper and then the amp, Output B goes to EHX SoulPog and then amp.
The worship team at my church is me and one other guitarist so we're both trying to figure out ways to enhance our sound and make things seem more full.

That's a unique setup! How do you use the looper and the two Pogs? And why two? And why a mixer?
In that situation I would think of having a normal board for my instrument plus some prerecorded/generated pads to add some background. Would love to hear how you're thinking about it.
So…I purchased the Darkglass Anagram. I used it for the last several weeks and could not connect with it. It also shut down multiple times a day during rehearsals. A few friends that have used it live said it dies on them during shows. 
I returned it to GC and went back to the HX Stomp (white Storm Trooper version). I just ordered the Big Booty Judy as well. Will post pics soon.

I debated the Anagram, but we already have a Stomp, paid for and set up at church for whomever is playing. It sounds great. No one would notice a difference. If it ain't broke…
Thinking about it. I go back and forth. Darkglass rushing updates that aren't properly tested is not helping.So…I purchased the Darkglass Anagram.

For fuzz, octaves, and DAW level eq options, it's amazing. The blendable cab sims are also nice if you just want a touch of 15" or 810 cab eq.
The amp sims are eq based only and often over saturated. The non darkglass drives suck. The only chorus option completely drops you out of the mix like it has phase issues or something. Really miss that HX 70's chorus.
The hx has the best choruses and flangers and modulated delays.
I'm diving headfirst into the pedal world as I posted earlier.
Ordered the following so far for my first pedalboard, waiting for most to arrive still. Already changed my mind on a couple of pedals.
Mono Rails Small pedalboard
TC Polytune 3 Noir
Dunlop DVP4 Mini Volume
Cali76 Bass Compressor
EHX Microsynth
Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp
Noble Tube DI
That's a pretty good dive. That's a basic (not inexpensive) worship pedal board these days. As I've said, I have never needed anything more than some eq and compression. Maybe don't even really NEED those. But lots of worship boards have the BMS and Tone Hamer. The Noble is nice if you can afford it.
That Cali76 sure gets a lot of positive attention.
As in it completely reboots? That's wild. Can't believe that's happening on a released product.So…I purchased the Darkglass Anagram.

I initially got a Keeley Compressor Pro but decided to get the Cali76 as well. Will keep both and try both out live.

It's frustrating that companies will bring a product to market that still has bugs that need to be worked out and expect us to pay top dollar for it and beta test it for them.
I've been super happy with the HX Stomp and see no reason to move on from it. It is a mature product, tried and true, battle tested, and has a lot of presets available that bassists across the globe have created to run on it, and the sounds you can get out of it are amazing.
It freezes. Then I had to power cycle to get it back on.
I had the CIOKS Crux running off of a DC7. Same situation with the provided power supply.
I am considering converting my SRH500F to BEAD tuning. It has been suggested to NOT use compression if the goal is upright-ish tones, rather use muting (like felt under the strings) to create the thump. Do any pedals help with the quest for the nice warm thump sound I am searching for?
