Pow_22

[size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Im planning on using a Behringer BD21 as an ‘on all the time’ effect in my pedal chain. I will be using it for a tiny bit of ampeg type breakup/grit to my sound ala Fratellis type sound. I do have an overdrive pedal for the more distorted/heavey driven valve amp type sounds.[/font][/color][/size] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]My question is, using this an an on-all-the-time pedal where should I be looking to place it in my pedal chain? Im thinking it should be straight after my tuner thus any other effect I apply will be to the ampegy type sound?[/font][/color][/size] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]My current set up is……Bass > Boss TU2 > Boss Chrous > Ibanez PD7 Overdrive > EHX Linear Boost > Ampeg SVT3[/font][/color][/size] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Would I put the BDI21 straight after the tuner or would I be best putting it at the end of the effects chain?[/font][/color][/size]

Im loving the early Fratellis bass tone at the moment. Its got a nice growly sound to it. I know he uses a flats loaded P bass through an SVT - its got a lovely pillowy thumup initially that has a kind of valvey breakup sustain. Songs like Look Out Sunshine and Mistress Mabel show it really well

I used to use an Ashdown valve amp so for this song I just used my LPB-1 booster pedal that pushed the valves into breakup. However, im now back to a hybrid head and whilst I love the normal tone I (obviously) just cant get the amp to break up the same.[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][font="Times New Roman"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color="#000000"][font="Times New Roman"]I did get hold of a pic of the Fratellis bass pedal board and noticed he seems to use a guitar OD pedal in the Boss Blues Driver but when I tried this the bottom end just fell out of the mix and got completely lost.[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][font="Times New Roman"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color="#000000"][font="Times New Roman"]I don’t want to spend too much as its an effect ill barely use (I don’t really use any!) so ive been looking at the likes of the Ibanez PD7, EXH Hot Tubes Nano etc.[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][font="Times New Roman"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color="#000000"][font="Times New Roman"]To give an idea of my setup im using a ’76 P bass with flatwounds into an Ampeg SVT3 (non pro) and an Ampeg 410HE.[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][font="Times New Roman"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color="#000000"][font="Times New Roman"]Any help from pedal players greatly appreciated[/font][/color][/size]

Any users of the SVT III Non pro on here at all? Theres one at our local rehearsal studio and despite being a valve man this head sounds really good and can get quite gritty. I see the common complaint on the Pro version is lack of volume and the non-pro is actually rated at less output but the tone is really good. I ve only played it through my 4x10 with both my Jack Casady and P bass (both with flats) and can get a nice old school sound. One has cropped up for sale and im tempted. Any long term users on here got any view/opinions
