All comments welcome.

A very nice selection. We’re also awarding points here for old school red stripe Trace cab 👌

Gone from the board: Source Audio Ultrawave Bass, Joyo Tidal Wave

 

New on the board: Dirty Haggard Audio Broken

 

The ultrawave was great (for digital) and the Tidal Wave is also an awesome bit of kit, bit for what I do it was too dark and the ultrawave too much effort to program.

 

I'll reserve judgement until I gig the "Broken" but through headphones it sounds FILTHY! 

 

JPTR FX Jive as an always on sweetener, call76 always on, and drive duties now handled by the Joyo Monomyth.

Regarding my own post, yeah I know, how’s about some suggestions for what I could fill the chasm-like space with?
Anything goes (and currently I’d like to add a delay and flanger) so fill your boots.
Basschatters, do your thing!

@mike f all down to personal preference, but I'd be tempted to bring the weird... a ring modulator or something? And/or incorporate an expression pedal since you have space... You can then choose a delay (or another effect) which takes Exp input. I use a Memory Boy with Exp but there's plenty of other options.

[mike f]

@Homatron A ring modulator might be touch too weird but I like your thinking.

An expression pedal (that doubles as a volume pedal. Is there such a thing?) linked to a delay pedal is a cracking idea. And maybe drop that flanger I’m after into the last bit of space. 👍

@mike f  One of the HeadRush MX5s they're selling cheap at Andertons might have all of the options to experiment that you could want?
 

I reckon you could probably set up the expression pedal to do something else on a toe press too.

@MichaelDean thanks appreciate that but I just don’t get on with anything approaching a multi fx. They give me the fear which I realised years ago that that’s not so good mid gig. I’m a one-pedal-one-sound kind of guy!

Always room for a TC Flashback. I notice there’s no phaser… a most underrated bit of kit, I’ve got the Aguilar Grape and it’s super funky. 

[mike f]

@Boodang it’ll either be the Flashback or the Boss DD8. Still undecided.

I actually own a 1980/1 EHX Small Stone but it just takes too much low end away. Maybe I need a Line Selector too?

The SB2 is back on the board, just adds that little bit of fairy dust to the Mustang and P.

In addition to the Aguilar Grape, I've also got a Warm Audio Mutation, both of which are great with bass. I thought that running both in series would just be a mess but actually is really funky. The warm audio is a bigger pedal and would take up a fair bit of your spare pedal board space, so good value in that respect!

The Warm Audio Mutation is one good sounding pedal for sure. Looks cool too! Hmmm, flanger, phaser, flanger, phaser. What to do?

How’s the chorus? Keep thinking about getting one to try out but no idea what to go for.

Trust me, I've tried so many chorus pedals and this is the best.

Small changes to my latest incarnation of my board....completely changed the drive section with the megalith and MBD and added a DI as a back up/ to accompany a smaller power amp set up in the future. 

Input is via the origin Cali in front of the switcher, Bassrig runs from the output of the switcher. Everything else in between. 

Pretty happy with my attempt at cabling as well for a change.... Best I've managed I think.

What do the expression pedals do?

Just a volume to help with swells and gain staging and a mini wah. I haven't explored messing with the Volante/ h9 / atom expression set ups tbh.

Ive only just started to explore my h9 - I got a patch playing an arpeggiated 3rd, 5th octave and had a thought I could set the footswitch to switch from major to minor 3rd!

Sounds cool. I've not got anywhere near that sort of functionality. I should probably spend more time with it - it's a wicked unit and I love the app.
