So I rebuilt my partialy midi controlled pedal board last weekend, made up of roughly 12 pedals. Tested it at home and everything sounded great, but when I got into the rehersal space last night I found some of my preset levels were a bit off....
Rather than reprogram on the fly, I decided to bypass the board and go straight into the amp, especially as I had a new cable to try out....
What happened next was kind of a big thing for me..... my tone was amazing!!! It was like I fell in love with playing bass all over again. My tone just popped, cut like butter through the mix, sounded round and full.... Everything I played sounded fantastic! Well at least way better than usual FYI I play a cort custom A5 into an eden wt800 and 410xst, and play mostly funk and rnb.
So it leaves me with a dilemma... do I need my pedal board??? Right now I'm leaning towards no and I'm quite ready to sell the whole lot. I play only in originals bands so I can choose my tone. It's not like I have to have a certain sound for anything.
Anybody here had similar experiences?
