That’s dreadful - Want me to have a look? No promises, but I can try trace the circuit out (in Farsley)
-
Sssshhh @tauzero I forgot compressors!
-
JDI or similar to give a nice di out?

I disagree - for an amateur PA operative a digital desk with everything pre-set and saved discourages thinking and learning - and often will hide any problems behind layers of screens - the bass EQ might be behind 2 button presses - on an analogue desk it's always infont of you. With an analogue desk you plug everything in, zero everything and have to go across the channels getting things roughly right - it's a process the PA person has to do each time - and as they do they are learning to listen, learning to mix and how EQ works - what I've found with digital that the non musical operatives will take the "John set this up and saved it so I don't want to touch" approach

I once bought a 1985 thumb bass that arrived loose in a cardboard box! -
This is a good example of why digital desks can be too powerful for amateurs

that's great! Question, have you found it at the end of the chain, you know, and finally... ?

Wee pedal clearout of things not being used on my board... Zoom MS70-cdr £55 posted gone Picked up recently on here to play with reverb and delay and stuff... loaded it up with bass amps etc as you can using Zoom effects manager, . Fantastic compact multi effects and ability to chain things up is lots of fun. Only selling as picked up a H9 - which in some ways is more limited, and compare like for like there's not much distance between them. Value for money its unbeatable, and Not many pedals have their own reddit Bright onion loop switcher £25 posted gone I put the Zoom in this, it is a loop switcher, it switches a loop in an out with a passive switch. It's not like a looper that will turn you into Ed Sheeran. It just turns things on and off. Mosky Dyna compressor £20 posted It's a 1590a one knob compressor. It compresses things, sounds quite nice and actually through hole parts inside! Probably more useful on guitar than bass but I've had it sat on my shelf for ages now and it's not doing anything. Irn-Bru clone of a Fairfield Barbershop £80 posted Clone of a Barbershop MK1 (Ie the big box) but in a 1950b (MXR size) - I like this and built it a few years back on the PedalPCB PCB measuring and matching JFets to the spec wasn't fun, used at church a couple of times (ie not hard gigged) and then replaced with one of my clones of a Smallsound/Bigsound Mini which is the same Topology. SolidGold FX Beta is in same group of low gain overdrives that add a bit of hair to your sound. I like this and don't really mind if this stays sat on the shelf, but it's in the photo so available if anyone is interested. Trades, you can try me Multiple pedals and the postage gets cheaper, pickup in-between Leeds and Bradford if you'd like. Questions, just ask.

That is very pretty

I almost think you should go with chunky Nuetrik L jacks rather than those silly lightweight EBS ones!

The end of a big lump of 4*2 ish steel bar.

One tuner.: love my Turbo tuner st300 accurate and pleasant to use. One drive: I like JFet drives, I really like the barbershop clone I built - but the Iron man (SS/BS mini clone) I built blows it out the water. one fuzz/distortion: Not really got much love for bass fuzz, Creation Audio Grizzly bass really impressed me but I wouldn't end up using it as a fuzz. one envelope filter: C4 one octave: Fave so far is Valeton OC10, OC2 clone, but I prefer sound to an actual OC2! one modulation, Providence Anadime Bass chorus - for me, this pedal is perfect. Deep, but simple. one preamp (doesn't have to have DI out) Colourbox v2 - if I bought a Warwick hellborg preamp when Thomman blew them out I would have had a pedalboard made with a 1u rack in it - but I didn't so this is as close as I can get. one pedal that does reverb or delay (or both) not enough exp. other than zoom, Line6 stuff. The H9 is nice but still learning how to use it musically. and one wildcard... every time I jiggle the board around I take this off, and then put it on again. The clone I made of the Fairfield shallow water. The thing is subtle to the point of being useless, and can go places that don't sound right - but it's so so musical sounding (JFets again) I use it far more than makes sense
-
So you have a limit - and can only pick one thing in each category... One tuner, one drive, one fuzz/distortion, one envelope filter, one octave, one modulation, one preamp (doesn't have to have DI out) one pedal that does reverb or delay (or both) and one wildcard... So 9 pedals maximum, what do you choose? (and why?)
-
Different manufacturers enclosure so spent a bit of time sanding them for a smoother finish. I spent a bit of time making the build way cleaner and neater looking! You can see my one covered with electrical tape!
-
They probably would if they were using a FI or another bass synth pedal that was tracking the note! Dont worry about it, just play! Unless you’re a total beginner I think you will just naturally start adjusting your technique as you go.
-
Do! the guys who run basschat would appreciate the quality insight and content (and us too)
-
it's not directly linked to synth pedals, but when I was starting one of the amp manufacturers had a suggestion on their site that you practice everything firstly with the top end massively boosted and really trebly - so you focus on the attack of the note. And then you cut all the top end and boost the sub so you focus on the decay of the note. With the extreme EQs it means you have to play cleanly... but it mean when using digital things like C4 I didn't need to adjust my technique much
-
I find it is an interesting conundrum... If I keep going and playing and no one apart from the band in our IEM can hear me, why am I playing? For me, there's a lesson in humility and not having too much of an ego to learn. To being a team player and supporting and encouraging others in their leading/playing.... and sometimes trying to have tactful conversations with the PA guys.

Wow - I thought that was the centrepiece of your rig! -
In the diy sphere there are some variations of schematic, features etc

There’s also this https://aionfx.com/project/spectron-dynamic-filter/

I wonder if a rubber washer would work? anyway that doesn’t help me work out my Mutron/meatbox/Mutron with proton features/mf101 build thing!!

Peace poti could be an expensive hobby to get into!
