".. can you tell us about this? > TC Electronic Flashback Delay (always on).. and we can also see you have TonePrint © selected:- 😎"

Easy as pie... I use the delay as a means to "fatten" my sound, almost like a reverb... very slight delay and very subtle, but it's definitely there.  I started years ago with a chorus, then later a reverb, then after discovering Janek Gwizdala, I switched to delay - and I use his TonePrint, the Sausage & Beer print  .  I found that the bass was a little "dead" to my ears, hence starting to play with alternate ways to beef it up - I guess that came from listening to a ton of fusion and hearing what I believed was a chorusy sound and loving it  

BTW - I use the Nathan East print for my chorus 😎

Current state of pedal mayhem at my feet in the rehearsal room. Signal gets split twice (Meatbox, DD7) and ends up in 3 rigs.

How you finding the Pessimiser on bass? I’m using a Hilbish Beta preamp and was considering adding one of these in at some point.

It's great, I love it. The EQ section is very powerful providing a wide range of tone shaping possibilities.

Together with the clean/dirt blend and the boost you have a very versatile pedal.

Recommended.

Put this together as a small board for simple rigs when I don't want to fuss with my bi-amp set up. 

Not that I seem to be gigging now or anytime soon. But board building is fun isn't it? 

The ms-60b is set as a Flanger and noise gate. Whole thing is powered by a Harley Benton battery.

Bit of a work in progress but after the best part of 2 years using modellers im much happier to be using something like this again.

Hey man, are you playing for or 5 string? How's the Cali? I have major gas for the large box, even though my board can't take it!

Ha! 😁

Although had i got the MBD2 sooner im not sure i would have bothered with the X.

Yeah mostly 5's.

The Cali is amazing, had another big box a few years back and replaced it with the compact version and then a Hyper Luminal and finally the Axe FX comps, as great as all of those are there's something about the big box one ive missed, as soon as i knew i was selling the Axe the first thing i did was hunt down one of these, its worth the extra board size for me.

.... I've got a HX Stomp equipped board and an all analogue (well nearly) board as well. I must say I do really like seeing what I can tweak, rather than menu scrolling. Also as there is a bit of option paralysis with Multi FX units, I like the make the most of what you have deal with small/medium analogue set ups.

Enjoy

... when using your Quatermaster do you notice a noticeable difference?

Yeah that was one of the biggest issues for me, i just couldnt leave the thing alone, i loved having that control but sometimes i felt i was spending more time tweaking tones then playing, particulry with the Axe Fx where the ability to tweak is insane. I am considering throwing a Stomp on this board however, i need a couple of non distortion FX for a new gig im doing and one of those might just do the trick.

Im just using it to switch between the 3 drives without tap dancing really so yeah in that regard its very helpful, i cant say ive really noticed any difference in tone when using it but it just makes life easier.

Slight update (excuse the sock). Got myself a Hypergravity so now the MS-60B is just LPF/Tuner (and as a 'just in case' I suddenly decide I need octave or something...).

Cheers for the reply Bearfist.

The Stomp is SO versatile in such a small package. I’ve got mine set up, with amongst a few other things, a Aguilar Filter Twin and BOSS OC2 in the FX L and FX R loops. Those along side the digital effects you have more than enough to play with 👍🏼

... also the Quartermaster seems like a great idea, but to get the most out of one I’d need a much bigger board 😁

A Zoom of one kind or another sits in all my pedal board set ups. Its just as you say, a great back up or extra. Even if it's just HPF and tuner it's paid for itself

Hastily slapped this together as I won't get a chance now before Saturday's gig, and I wanted to get the Morningstar ML5 wired up. Only wired up two loops, and will be spending tomorrow programming all the patches for the board, but I can see some pretty cool possibilities here already!

Bass > Cali76 > ML5 > HX Stomp

Loop C - Aguilar Octamizer
Loop E - Dr Scientist Dusk
HX Stomp FX Loop - Pickle/Muff DIY build (Under the top tier)

MIDI chain - MC8 > Hx Stomp > ML5 > Dusk

Mission Expressionator connects the Dunlop Mini Expression to the Stomp, MC8, and Dusk

Powered by 2 GigRig Generators (One for the Stomp, the other for everything else)

How are you enjoying the Dusk?

[Quatschmacher]

Need to wire this beast up after getting a bigger power supply. Still need space for the Nemesis, Ventris, EQ2, Sentry and MC8. Bit of a headache.

Gonna need a bigger board.

Love it! Any thoughts on upgrading to an SY-1000?

It’s a cool pedal. Not entirely sold on it, but in all fairness it hasn’t really been put through its paces yet, so there’s still time!
