Sibob Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 [quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1507237769' post='3384227'] Hi. Question about your fx order.... do you ever run your bef filter into your oc2 octaver? [/quote] I typically have no use to with this band, but I have done. How come?

Al Krow Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Here's mine. Scarily this has come together from scratch over the past 6 months, before which I had no pedal board and used a Boss MS-60B mainly just as a tuner! BC is such a slippery slope! Blame and thanks in equal measure to Cuzzie, Dannybuoy and Cameron for lots of useful and expert insight whilst egging me on to explore new effects; I never knew filters could be so much fun(k) And also to Osiris for valiantly trying to save me cash by telling me to stick to my Zoom B3n. Now that I have run out of space on my board, I will definitely maybe start to listen... Edited October 12, 2017 by Al Krow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Usually, for playing ease I first raise the signal one octave with the whammy. With a 24 fret neck however you can get away without that. Getting the Mel9 to sound good takes practice, it only has three volume levels on the output of notes it plays. Tracking is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I had the B9 and C9, kept the B9. Lent it to a friend who keeps forgetting to bring it out when I see him! Must get it back! How's your filter quest going Al? I've decided to keep the MXR btw, thanks for not buying it off me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's interesting. I demoed the Mel 9 - for the cello and choir specifically - but couldn't get anything useful out of it. Pairing with an octaver might be a good solution (although the Sub N Up now gives me a lot of what I want on it's own). I wasn't aware of the 3 volume levels detail though. It did seem brutally monophonic on bass and I guess the stepped volume probably emphasised this. It was as if it really grabbbed the loudest note and just wouldn't let go until something louder came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben4343 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Here are mine after 3 and a half years of amassing, trialling, side- and up-grading. I have a third board planned for my Vox Dealylab and another Red Panda and an Avalanche Run I fancy, but am not in a rush... The black one is the noisy one, the wooden is the ambient weirdness.

radiophonic Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Latest revision. New PSU after the MXR 18v wall-wart I used for the Pork Loin started emitting sparks after only 3 gigs. Big improvement in noise floor and plenty of options for powering more pedals later. All the digital ones are on separate lines. The Bass Soul Food has gone and I may sell it - the mid push is too much for my taste although it works well on guitar. Maybe a Rat style distortion (MXR? Fuzzrocious?).

Guest Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Pedalboard revision: I finally subbed my OneSpot adapters for a decent PSU: Cioks DC10 mounted underneath the board. And as it's been quite a while since I posted my board here (not much of a poster, but a big time lurker ), I'll post another pic: Bass -> Polytune -> OC-2 -> DIY Bass Tubescreamer -> DIY D*A*M Ezekiel 25:17 -> DIY Big Muff -> EQD The Depths -> Line6 M9 -> Amp Edited October 26, 2017 by MagicOnion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jposega Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 [attachment=256495:pedals oct 2017.jpeg] First time here, but a long-term TalkBass poster/ Pedal Breeder. I've downsized so much in order to get something small and reasonable for my move over here to Belfast. In the last year I went from a Pedaltrain 2 to a Pedaltrain Jr. to a Pedaltrain Novo 24 and now down to this Nano. I should have held out for a Nano+ so I could orient those better and keep my tuner onboard, but the clip-on or tuner in a DAW works just fine. Maybe I'll find a local trade for the ever-so-slightly bigger board.

I also really miss playing through an amp, but I'm living in an apartment for the first time in years, and don't have a band on the horizon yet, so I'm getting used to playing through headphones.

dannybuoy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Some nice selections there. My JoshWah had also found a place on my board now after realising my Hotone Bass Press gets a little lost in the mix. The volume control makes all the difference!

sk8 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've gone simples again [URL=http://s420.photobucket.com/user/spongebob_sqaurepants/media/6EDC8FC0-2ACA-4DAB-AAE9-4EA9610E9685_zpstlwb2qx8.jpg.html][IMG]http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/spongebob_sqaurepants/6EDC8FC0-2ACA-4DAB-AAE9-4EA9610E9685_zpstlwb2qx8.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1506508864' post='3379192'] Got some Royal Blood style fake guitar ready for this evening's shenanigans! Tender Octaver into the American Sound nails the RB tone, then the doubler recreates the fat sound they get from using multiple amps. Board is split 50/50 for 'guitar' and bass, with the guitar sound going to a mixer in stereo. Two compressors on board for different basses, although I may eventually restrict myself to one. Just using the Beta as a dark & dirty boost which works well into the bright sounding Darkglass amp. That might get replaced with the Green Russian though...

dannybuoy Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It's the best filter I've played in terms of expressiveness (if that's a word), you can really get it to talk and it makes you pull those bass faces like someone next to you just farted. The only thing I don't like about it is the sweep doesn't start very low down in the bass range, more like the low mids. If you've played a standard Mini QTron or Mutron on the hi setting you'll know what I mean. The JoshWah is currently on the board instead as I found it to stand out in the mix more than the Emma, and I can get the sweep to start lower down due to the frequency control.

lee650 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) The latest version of my board! recently sold a bass so had a bit of cash to splash on the board. I added a couple of new pedals and finally upgraded to a cioks DC5. my chain as follows Cali 76 CB into a Boss Ls2 set to A/B/Bypass (the cali works on every channel) bypass channel - goes into TC Polytune mini straight to amp as my clean channel. channel A - 3 leaf Wonderlove with Cog T65 in the effects loop. The T65 has a 3 leaf your doom in its effects loop. This allows me to use the parallel octave and preserve the dynamic nature of the you're Doom while octave/fuzz are in the wonderlove loop, so the dynamics of that are not affected. This is my Synth channel Channel B - this is my dirt channel with a Cog Knightfall always on and switchable with the ls2. I also have the phase 90 and EBS unichorus when I want modulation (will turn off knightfall) and by switching the LS2 into Bypass A/B mix mode I can blend the modulation wirh the synth channel when required, or use a clean blend with the knightfall. dead chuffed with this setup and it's working well, so I think I'll leave it, although I may just have room for a TC sub n up mini or a cog T16 for clean octave Edited November 15, 2017 by lee650 photos not transferred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
