Haven't updated this for a while! This is the board I've been using lately. Signal chain is:

Bass > Aguilar TLC > Aguilar Octamizer > MojoHand Cream Pie > X-Blender (Swollen Pickle Clone > Subdecay Proteus in the loop) > Sadowsky Pre (Korg DT-10 from Tuner Out) > Aguilar DB750

The whole board is in a LoopMaster Patcher to make things neater, with my In and Out from the board in one place. It's a PedalTrain Jnr with a Diago Power Station powering the whole board. Also, the little grey unit with the pick holder on is a 1 in, 2 out passive splitter I used to use when I had a bigger board. I velcro'd my pick holder to it for a convenient place to store my picks - I had no use for it's actual function on this board but there was space for it, so I put it on there anyway :)

Some excellent boards posted here! Shep your boards are awesome! The only thing about them I don't envy is the weight! :) Edited by Higgie

Nice board.

How do you find the Octamizer? I wonder if it would do a better job than the EBS one that I use?

I run my Sadowsky at the start of the signal chain, how come you run yours at the end? Is the Loopmaster Patcher purely for tidiness purposes?

Octamizer is wicked. Ousted the good old OC2 from my board anyhow! I just love the fact you have tone controls for both the octave and clean signal. Makes for a really versatile Octaver!

The Sadowsky goes at the end because it seemed to act funny with my fuzz pedal. I like to use it as a Mute too, so I figured the end of the chain would be best. Might have to experiment a bit more with it! And yeah, the LoopMaster unit just makes it easier to route my cables by having both jacks coming from the same place.

Thanks mate :)

Well, they're quite different beasts; the BB is far more prone to breaking up (even at low gain settings) than the Phat Phuk and is obviously more versatile due to the bass and treble EQ. The Phat Phuk doesn't do a great deal to your sound other than adds a tiny bit of grit and boosts something in the low-mid and high-mid ranges that compliments my base tone very nicely.

I've been using the BB as a low-gain grit pedal to fill out the sound for the more rocky numbers in my band's set while using the Phat Phuk either as an independent boost for solo breaks or to push the BB into a really organic, yet aggressive overdrive.

Sorry, I meant the Pickle Pie. Do you use the pickle and BB together?

No worries, I often thought that Matt's choice of calling two of his most popular bass pedals Pickle Pie and Phat Phuk may raise confusion lol.

Short answer: no as I always found the sound of fuzz into overdrive indistinct and messy. That said, it sounded pretty cool when I tried it, IIRC. I'll get back to you after I give it another spin some time.

Finally be able to add to this thread in the next month or two. I'm thinking of making myself a little board up with so far, a Boss TU-2/3 and Tech 21 VT Deluxe. Anyone got any other reccomendations for things to throw on there, nothing too expensive (£50-£60 max for now, second hand) and not too big, i only want this to be a small board, despite having a huge pedal on there....

Thanks in advance,

Liam

It all depends what genre of music you play. Although, at that price point, either an EHX bass big muff or a second hand Boss OC2 - depending on your needs.

Anything from really poppy stuff like Lady Gaga, to Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine etc.... But mostly Pop/Punk (Bowling For Soup, Good Charlotte, Sum 41 etc...)

I have considered a Big Muff, but i'm not sure i'd need the crazy amounts of fuzz, although i do play Muse stuff, so its a possibilty. An OC-2 is on my list of pedals to get eventually though, along with an EHX Bass Micro Synth.

Ok, finally sorted V.3 :)

So this is OC-2 -> Co-Pilot FX Orbit -> ME-50B -> CE-2B -> Boss Slicer.
Juicy Lucy power and the only reason for the FX Loop pedal is because I want to go in and out at the same point, I don't switch it.

I have the ME-50B set to Slow Gear (I have an original Boss one, but doesn't track as well), Analogue Delay, and some slightly different distortion to double up with the Orbit. Expression pedal is either set to Resonance filter or +1 Octave Whammy.

I'm in Manchester if you wanna give a EHX Bass Big Muff, or an old black russian Big Muff a go anytime...

I might take you up on that when i find some time soon, thanks for the offer. Anyone got anything else that they'd add to a small pop/rock board?

oooh, I like the look of that VT2! :)

I used to have one of those. Sounded great (lovely crunchy drive sound), and really tweakable, but it was physically [size=6]HUGE[/size]. Including the valves and protective handle thing, it must be about 5 inches tall.

After years of using only a Tuner I've put a board together as it was annoying me plugging in all the separate pedals each gig.

The board itself is a DIY effort that's come out quite nicely, there's a build diary [url="http://finnbass.com/showthread.php?t=8233"]here[/url].
