Long time no post for me.  Recently in search of “my sound” in preamp pedal format, I had to watch the video when I came across it.  He misses a few from my list (Mesa, Genzler and Laney specifically) but still a great watch.

Sound wise- whether through my wireless in ear buds or wired headphones or iems,  I was surprised to like the cleans from the Ag Tonehammer as much as I did.  But not surprised to hear the “most” from the big old REDDI.  FAT tone.

But mostly, p-bass (or jazz-ish) with rounds is what I heard.  Which is what my wallet needed me to hear since I don’t record and mostly play through FOH at church where my tone is murdered anyway.  Probably spend the money on something else and my time on practice.

Great video as many of his are.

Here's a yank board.

I built the board itself out of scraps and parts except for the power port and toggle that I got from West Coast Pedalboards here in the US.    I recently bought a Phase 90 but havent decided where to place it and if I want to add a gnarlier fuzz.  That 5th gear is awesome but subtle to OD- nothing like a distortion or higher.....   

I have a Zoom Ms-60B as a back-up board but will probably sell as my B1Four that I practice with is more familiar (silent practice with headphones....  Bought the dang thing second hand for like $70USD and was probably the best purchase I made other than the Labella DTFlats I bought for both basses that I play... )

Nothing but prayers mate.  I'd be DOA if mine died.  I am ampless at the moment.

And just realized @andruca is in this thread and to be thanked for his contributions and discussions of various patches and settings!

Thanks!

First post here, I think!  And shouldn't be.  I should thank you all for helping me decide to pick up a MS60b in January that has been awesome!  I was addicted to the sturdy looking build and happy with the effects and the "tone in a box" setup for playing out.  I designed 3 patches- clean, mild overdrive and Nirvana style OD and chorus.  That and the easy to use tuner/ mute are probably all I'll need unless I play out a lot more than occasionally for church.  Not likely until retirement probably.

As it goes, my house isn't quite tiny- but it IS small and older.  So even my little Fender combo is too much for playing with the wife and 1 or more kids home.  But, I remembered all the nice things @Al Krow said (and many others) about the B1four as a headphone/ practice tool so I just bought one used online for $75USD (not cheap compared to what he was selling the B3N that I missed out on for but still. worth it.)

Very familiar with ToneLib for the 60b so excited to give it a run on the b14 and be able to practice more often in more places.   And have a neat back-up if somehow I break the 60b.  Or if Al is 100% correct, maybe the other way around.

Anyway, welcome to Basschat to me and also thanks to you all.
