Another idea would be to get a switcher to switch between compression and filter if there's parts of a song that require it

That is how ended the ''game'' - always turning compresson off when using filter.

Most ideal thing to do mate kinda kills the point of being filters

I'd probably ditch the compressor if there's an envelope filter being used, compressors give you less dynamics unless it's got a clean blend on it, and envelope filters respond with dynamics so you won't hear that cut as much if there's a compressor in the chain. My opinion BTW

Bang on

I have a GEB-7 and an LS-2 for use with dirt pedals. My experience is that I tend to use the LS-2 more because in live setting the issue is rarely bass loss alone, it's more about bass punch and a concurrent clean signal provides that better than a boosted dirt noise. I also prefer the action of engaging a Boss in a gig, rather than a 3PDT, it's more idiot proof.

 

I also have modded pedals (DS-1, ODB-3, OD-3), the fun with these is mostly in the process of modding. The standard DS-1 mod I would still run through a LS2, however the diode lift is a completely different beast, it's an awesome sound (not a DS-1 sound) and so works well as a standalone pedal. Horses for courses etc. 

 

Using a guitar pedal and LS-2 is great, but it is more about adding a distorted flavour to the higher frequencies of your tone, a modded pedal is more transformative to the overall tone, it depends on what you want.

That's why I prefer guitar pedals, slot more of them and can get good ones cheaper

Which isn’t going to do the same thing as allowing more bass through a circuit by changing the caps. 
 

True, but putting an eq pedal after a boss ds1 or boosting lows on ya amp will bring lows back, plus ya still have the character of a ds1

Someone's not gunna like what I say.. but get an EQ pedal and boost lost lows 

Black pedal is a cheap black Russian muff clone

Looks bang on

Great video from Ed Friedland Rob, I think were I ever in the market for another octave I'd go for the MXR, granted it's only got one octave down, but I only use one octave of my OC2 anyway.

I'm tempted by that pedal tbf. Seems to track well and has two voicings of the octave down, and a mid switch

Also, this video here is ironically what you need to see

Current modular board for band practice/gigs. The drive board tends to be left at home for gigs with the current favourite dirt pedal brought on its own.

 

The band still need persuading on the merits of the slicer.

 

PSU money shot added.

 

 

 

Wish I saw more boards with a boss ds1, I really like how it sounds on bass

My  bands EPs coming to Spotify soon if punk and pub rock is your thing, please check it out and pre save it on Spotify

Tone City Angel Wing is supposed to modelled off a ce2

I have the horn all the way off on my barefaced big baby 2 for my band, just think it sounds better 

I've tried all sorts, Ernie ball, rotosounds, daddario, la Bella, Dr, ghs.  I've had daddario xl mediums on my jazz bass since late April, well worn in and I'm still loving them! Playing punk with them too
