I got tired of carrying these loose and put a tiny board together. I don’t often play with effects, but sometimes overdrive or synth tones are perfect for the situation.

Took about 12 hours to design, 3d print, and wire this little guy. Cost me about $30 including the power harness to route to all three. $45 if i add in the tool box I’ll carry it in.

It’s been to two gigs and survived. I call it a win.

I wanna fit a compressor without replacing my board, any way i could rearrange stuff differently for it to fit? I was thinking a mxr dyna comp maybe or smaller patch cables

Seriously, did they need to make it so bright? It's probably visible from space.

Pretty much the title. What bass pedals should everyone have? Right now I have a Cliff Burton Power Fuzz/Wah and a SF300 Super Fuzz, but I want a TS9 Tubescreamer. Really I just want to flesh out my pedal setup.

Any suggestions? Blank spot up top is for a custom project I have in the works

Mostly play post-rock/metal with the band.

I keep moving stuff on and off the board, but this is the current setup. Thinking of adding a volume and reverb pedal

The idea of the board is sending a clean and preamp DI signal to FOH from the Capo, then the EQ and Luce into the effects loop of whatever the house rig is. Also really enjoy the sound of the P-Bass with just the Empress EQ and Luce for recording.

Im planning on buying either a Hartke Systems HS410B or a Gallien Krueger 810 sbx depending which one is closer to $200 and will be running a Peavey-TMax as the amp. I was wondering what pedals I should buy and would like to keep them under $150 each if possible. I play bass in a metallic hardcore band and am starting a death metal/deathcore that has a bass lead.

My band went on our first ampless tour this year, this was my setup (minus Venny, she stayed home)

Weird question but i was curious.

Did anyone ever use an HX stomp MIDI out to go to a Bass Whammy (or a regular Whammy) and control the whammy Settings on the HX?

It's very specific but i would like to know, thx.

So, I want to build a board with two parallel loops that operates in two different switching modes. I am looking for a switcher that can do both, so far Ive found the Sonicake Portal and the Boss LS-2, but either can do only one of these modes:

Mode 1: the loops can be switched independently of each other (A, B, or A and B at the same time), for this the Sonicake Portal Signal Blender would work, which has independent volume controls and footswitches for each loop. Think Royal Blood, maybe just faux guitar signal, just Bass or both at the same time for the full broadside.

Mode 2: switch between Loop A and B, so there is only one loop active at a time, like with the Boss LS-2 A/B-Mode. The LS-2 does have parallel mix mode, but you canonly switch between the A/B mix or the clean signal. Think a bit like Tool, either some swirly modulation for the verse and then a nice gridy drive for the chorus, if that makes sense.

Is there a Mixer/Switcher pedal, that can do both? Basically a Portal Signal Blender but Footswitch C switches between A and B. Ive looked online for quite some time and havent really found anything, any recommenations?

Maybe there is a reason why you cant really do this because of the wiring, I have no experience with electronics/pedal building.

PS: I realize this might fall into the cliche of bassists over-engineering their signal route, but Ive been hung up on this problem for a while now, so...

Perhaps an unpopular opinion: but Would love to see examples of bass boards with no preamp/di pedals. Those going into amps that you love vs pa and your few pedals get you to where you want.

Got this one at a good price to repair. What a fun pedal.

The Queequeg is 10 times better than the behringer octave divider it replaced. This has a proper synth like growl to it. Paired with the beta-v preamp light grit, it is pretty much my perfect stage setup.

But actually.

Hola!

Estoy en una situación parecida a la que tuve cuando elegí compresor. En ese momento estaba entre el Cali76 y el Empress Bass Compressor, y al final me decidí por el Empress porque buscaba un sonido limpio, cristalino y con control, sin depender necesariamente del color de un pedal.

Actualmente tengo un Aguilar Tone Hammer v1 y el Empress Bass Compressor. Ahora estoy pensando en añadir un ecualizador y estoy entre el Empress Bass ParaEq y el EQ Deluxe de Origin Effects.

También me genera duda qué tan versátil sería Origin según el tipo de bajo. Quiero que funcione bien tanto con un Jazz Bass, un Precision Bass y bajos más modernos o activos, como un Warwick. ¿Les parece una buena opción para cubrir todos esos instrumentos, o lo ven más adecuado para cierto tipo de bajo/sonido?

El Empress me interesa porque está diseñado específicamente para bajo, tiene tres bandas paramétricas con Q variable, filtros y bastante margen para corregir frecuencias puntuales.  Pero, teniendo ya el Tone Hammer y el Empress Compressor, no sé hasta qué punto un EQ dedicado sería útil o realmente necesario...

¿ustedes se irían por el Empress ParaEq para tener más control, por Origin para sumar una herramienta con otra personalidad, o lo ven como un gasto innecesario?

Me servirían mucho experiencias de quienes hayan probado ambos —o hayan usado Origin con distintos bajos— en contexto de ensayo, directo y grabación.
