.... I'd go for a TC Electronic Spectracomp tbh. Many different compressors in a one control box. Use it in a very simple manner, or with the tone prints go a bit deeper, then edit the tone prints to go really deep. All things to all men type of compressor for around £50ish used.

... I forgot I've also a clone of an Earthquaker Devices Seamachine. That is a kind of chorus/reverb pedal that can sound great, and finally a Dr. J Shadow Echo that for the price is really great. Don't let the less expensive prices put you off in any way. The Dr. J looks like a boutique pedal but is very reasonably priced.

... I've currently got a TC Corona mini that sounds really great, a TC 3rd Dimension that seems again nice (but not a versatile due to only push button controls), a VFE Choral Reef, a great pedal that uses two different chip sets and has loads of control. Lastly I have an EHX Eddy, I think this one would probably work better on guitar as some of it's features are very hard to hear on bass, it also sounds a bit too soft for my personal tastes.

Out of the lot, even though I love analogue stuff, the TC Corona mini does indeed sound great, with the added versatility of tone prints you really can't go wrong with it (and the fact that used ones in the UK go for around £40 - £50!)

… that is seriously cool 😎

… could I please ask what version the TLC Compressor is thanks, I know they did two housings (one had a thinner lip to it’s edge).

… I’ve recently got one and they do add a lovely fatness and a non harsh high end if desired (with the Hi Expander control).

Bought a couple of less expensive pedals from Daz for a try. Packaged well and as per photos. Good comms through out. Cheers 👍🏼

Pm'd Dr.J Shadow Echo also.

Hey all, just bought a couple of pedals from Ben. Great communication, extra pictures when requested were super fast and a pleasure to deal with. A credit to the BC community, cheers 👍

… I have a few pedals and a few boards. I tried going down the D’addario XPND board route and stick to a larger home board and smaller gig board (church and Motown stuff).

However I’m not a fan of Vecro in any way (at least for pedals lol) and much prefer Dual Lock. So I have a few Pedaltrain boards of different sizes and will change my boards according to need/taste.
 

Currently I’ve a board for Motown stuff, a board for church stuff, a practice board and a mini looping board. 
 

I’ve come to realise I like the idea of having a choice, like when using a multi fx, but with an analogue pedal setup ha ha 🤪

Oh, and I love building boards also 👍🏼

… just bought a Sfx pedal from Gnasher, all good and would happily deal with again. Thanks again 👍🏼

... I've been playing ampless at church for years now, and around 3 or so gigs for the Soul/Motown band I also play in. Truth be told I am starting to miss the vibe I got when were were not IEM in the Motown band, however my ears have not been ringing after rehearsals and gigs! Also we can hear each other much better!

Anyhow, back to the point, I use One Control AAIB pedals and a cheap Fender Micro DI that has a cab sim button on it. Not expensive if bought used and through headphones the sound is ace. I currently have the Crimson Red AAIB (Amp in a Box) pedal on the gig board, but also have the other AAIB pedals from One Control if I need a different sounding 'Amp' etc.

PM’d RE Sfx jobbie.

PM’d, I’ll have it please.

Hey all, just sold Patrick a pedalboard. Quick comms and instant payment. He's a good BCer who I would happily deal with again. Cheers.

… one thing stopping me going for one of these is all the above unfortunately. 

… now on hold folks …

these are two that I know of:

… lovely bass you have there (I’ve one in Honey Violin stain with black hardware 👍🏼).

Could I please ask what the two toggle switches are for please?

Thanks a lot !

 

Sounds like a cool setup.

 

Always used to be a bass-cable-amp guy but got into pedals during the pandemic and now have too many and not talented in dancing.

… exactly why I have two shelves full of pedals!! 

SolidgoldFX Beta Mk 2 is a great B15 vibe pedal, also the TC Electronic Mojo Mojo is also very good (especially for the price!). I have both of them.

... I'm the chap that BassAdder said could keep the unit due to the above noise issue (thank you again, very kind of you).

I did read a thread a while back on here that indicated that there has been a noise fault on some units (confirmed by Keeley themselves I think). On my various setups, most apparent on this example is when using a passive bass (Zoot Funkmeister 5), the noise being really very obvious with the settings as per normal use (gain and threshold not at extreme settings at all, I do use IEMs though) on both short staccato and long sustained notes. However the same Zoot bass with another compressor (I have a few, think I used an Empress Bass Compressor for comparison) and no noise issues at all.

I have worked out via trial and error, that if I use a buffered pedal before the compressor for comparisons sake, the noise issue is reduced, but still audible to me. Potentially a faulty batch of components used in manufacture, or maybe this particular unit wasn't calibrated as well as others from the factory, I've really no idea? I've chatted to a friend (LukeFRC above) about this before and he came up with this link:

https://robertkeeley.com/blog-post-archive/threshold-indicator-schematic-board/

I've had the back off and couldn't see anything as described in the blog post as it'd have to come apart to see the other side of the PCB. I've no idea if it's something a non-specialist could adjust.

Either way, thank you again for the kind gesture BassAdder.

Also sorry Rollin Thunder if this reply has derailed your original post, glad you're digging it 👍
