If you don't love it I'll eat my hat.

We do a crazy psychedelic version of Born To Be Wild as an encore, I reckon a bit of swirly flange would fit that nicely.

I have had a little look around and there's a few possibilities. The two you mention and Pigtronix Space Rip look interesting.

Lovely stuff! And happy Christmas.

Funnily enough, one of my projects has been a mini pedal board. Or at least a pedal board of mini pedals. I've done it piecemeal over time, looking for bargains, and the envelope filter has been the sticking point. At present the slot is filled by the Mooer bass sweeper, but while a fine pedal, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. However I hadn't even factored in the synth pedal so now I have to start gassing for that!

Guilty.

I don't search for a specific sound, it's more a case of defaulting to what sounds good to me. Over the years I've just found the quickest ways to get there regardless of the gear I use.

Of course this GAS thread is doing nothing to dampen my enthusiasm!

Everyone needs handpainted pedals from Greece. Tell us about it @BillyBass

Great demo. He's a heck of a player isn't he? Looks like a pretty good pedal too.

Ha ha, yeah , that's a lottery win pedal board.

Although if we're talking about quality pedal boardage, then Schmidt takes some beating. https://www.schmidtarray.com/custom

I have two of them now, bought the smaller one for my smaller pedal needs, they are remarkably good vfm but the Waggi boards look like they're the nuts.

I'll kick off with the Zero Point Flanger from Catalinbread. Loved the blurb on the thinking behind it. Apparently designed to mimic the way a flanged sound was achieved by running the signal through two tape decks and slowing one by pressing on the tape with a finger! Controlled by two foot switches, one on/off the other simulating the finger on the tape, it produces an amazing sound. I particularly like being able to control the 'flange' on the fly. Can't afford it, don't need it. But boy oh boy I like the look of it.

What are you scouring reviews for? What is it you don't need but know that you really want? Why is it suddenly so important? Tell us all about it, and if you resist, come back and describe how the GAS evaporated.

What a great article. Proper bassist geek out. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, but this is why we love pedals. The idiosyncrasies are part of the charm. You build a board with things like this and you will have your sound, no one else's.

Seems I beat a few Basschatters to this so first of all, I'm sorry. But on the other hand if I don't like it I know I shouldn't have a problem moving it on. Oh, but I do like it, so, erm, sorry again. I am lying dying of Covid 19 so buying pedals on Basschat is my only joy right now. Also I can't work so can't afford to buy pedals, but, well, what you gonna do? Anyway, it's amazing. I see what all the fuss is about. I must confess the thing that attracted me initially was the effects loop. Don't ask me why, but I'm a sucker for them. I managed to use it for ten minutes before having to lie back down. But what a ten minutes. I set it to a down filter and it is the most gurgling, liquid, squishy, blurping filter I've ever heard. I glooped and wurbled happily for my ten minutes, so happily in fact that I didn't even try the effects loop.

Another great transaction, fast, smooth, excellent packaging, pedal as described, no complaints. Delighted to recommend @sshorepunkto the community.

Been dying of covid so not capable of doing much but had a run through a few Deep Poiple numbers today. Great fun. Strange Kind Of Woman, Black Night, that kind of thing

Just taken delivery of a pedal from @skej21 which was an entirely painless transaction. Great communication throughout, happy to recommend him to the community.

The room seems the biggest factor in my experience. There is one venue in particular where, if I get a good sound everyone more than 20 feet from the stage complains the bass is too loud too boomy. If I bring different gear, or raise the cabs up, or isolate them, it sounds like a wet lettuce. I have always achieved a great sound with whatever gear I fail with there.
