Worship Bass Pedalboards

A few of us use these, never had an issue and battery lasts forever

Amazing.

I tend to only use PDFs, in portrait setting, using the iPad Preview app - and use my finger to scroll up or down to change pages - what software are all of you using in a live church setting?

Here's mine. I'm not a big pedal guy but needed a tuner and something to boost my passive signal for running direct. It's just a GFS tuner and Behringer BDDI powered by a One Spot and carried in a $6.99 pistol case from Academy Sports. It's simple, inexpensive, and I usually get compliments on tone.:D
Moved churches a while back, just about to join the team rota, I also use a BDI 21 - love the tones you can get out of it. They use a silent setup with in-ears, but tempted to take my RM500 head and use that as DI as I love my tone off it. Or get an Ashdown Ant I guess.

1. My new 3 flange tip earbuds arrived from Amazon. They came in a box of different sizes and colors. The smallest tips seem best. Here’s a photo of me swapping out the stock KZ ZS10 PRO 2 earbuds with the new smaller ones. They fit snugly in my ear canal and seem to work better.

2. My BOSS OC-2 pedal arrived. A 2002 model. I tested it out extensively. In the end, I will keep it but it won’t go on my board, basically because I can’t see how I would use it for the music we do at church. I tried it out with different music. My BMS fits much better.

Keeping my current setup as is for now.

I have an OC-2 on my board as well. Rarely use it, but I love the sound of the sub octave so much, it's staying for now. I have another octaver (Aguilar Octomizer V2) for clean+sub sound I use more often.

In my experience, the OC-2 works well with EDM style songs, or songs where the drumming is complex like drum n bass kinda stuff. Those songs are not super common in CCM, but I play with people who write their own songs that fits this genre.

The OC-2 is also great to stack stuff on top of. Dirt, chorus, delay, reverb. Gets into pad territory mighty quick. In a spontaneous/freestyle situation, it can be useful.

OC2 is awesome for intros/outros. Check out this video at 2:00 in for how it sounds in that context.

 
I am so excited to announce that my pedalboard is finally complete! For this weekend moving forward.

****Disclaimer: It will likely change by Tuesday again lol....

Just got it the day I posted this pic actually. I technically got it for my guitar board but I was up on bass this weekend so why not? lol So far the Gladio is money. That clean blend is sooooo good. The clarity is pretty awesome. The Antique wasn't one I was expecting to like on bass but it also rips. It's not as loud or deep on the bass, but it has some pretty gnarly dirt. I'd say it's pretty close to a distortion. It might be because I'm stacking with the DCX. I actually would likely keep it for the bass rig. It doesn't hurt that it's one beautiful dirt box too. Really have to see it person to appreciate the texture and overall aesthetic. They really set the bar high for prettiness. I will say it stacks beautifully. Given that the Gladio alone is $300, it seemed silly to not get the Imperium for another $80. I'm recording this weekend so I'll post some clips next week. If you can swing it, I'd do it. I don't really have anything negative to say about it.

I wasn’t aware they were still making the OC-2 in 2002. This is my most used effect by far. I use it for synth type tones, and sometimes blend in a bit of clean. I use it in place of a low B too. It is one of my favorite sounds.
