Prime_BASS Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 [quote name='ratman' timestamp='1394797150' post='2395316'] Here are the latest incarnations of my two boards. I'm still hankering after a Vintage Microtubes for the big board, and the Mooer on the small board isn't doing it for me, so that'll be swapped for something else soon. [/quote] I had the green mile, though it was absolutely crap. The bb preamp took its place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Apple Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 My first pedal (floor) board. Used these last week at my first gig in years. Not pictured is my DHA VT1 which I'm planning to use as a clean boost. I use the EQ channel on the SVT for the bit EQ, and it's thump-tastic [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VQ1ZFeY.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetdunn Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Wow, some serious pedal boards here..... Here's my few bits and pieces (listed in my signature below). Thinking of replacing ODB3 and Bass Driver DI with single Bass Driver Deluxe, probably don't need a noise suppressor either (hang over from guitar playing days).

ratman Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Finally, I got my Vintage Microtubes! An interesting pedal. Lots of useable sounds that'l work for me, I can't wait to unleash it tomorrow night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Really chuffed with my 1st Cog pedal, certainly there will be more to come! Also, new Lava Tightrope cables, great system! Can finally fit all the pedals I wanted in this board!

Guest FretNoMore Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Made a couple of changes this weekend; changed out some dirt in the lower left corner (Solid Gold FX is new, Cusack Screamer Bass replaced a Wampler Euphoria in the Wonderlove loop) and swapped places on the Suhr Buffer (now first) and [sfx] Micro Thumpinator (now last).

Guest FretNoMore Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 No, I don't know anything about the circuit. Soundwise, it's a quite "polite" overdrive for lack of better words, touch sensitive, has a bit of low end boost but doesn't muddy the sound. Gives the sound a fatter character without being too obviously distorted if that makes sense. I haven't tried it with the band yet, but I think there are a couple of ballsier blues numbers where it should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Here's my board presently, and I cant see it changing for a while to be honest - I love it! Its monstrous live and really fattens up our 3 piece!! Very happy with the Grand Tarkin, which is unmoded but has a bit of extra heft added!! [attachment=159660:TarkinDay.jpg] And a night time shot: [attachment=159661:Tarkin Night.jpg] I'll try and snap better pictures soon!! Edited April 7, 2014 by Salt on your Bass?

iamtheelvy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Currently, my main pedalboard has been pulled apart and is under reconstruction, centering around a Gigrig Quartermaster 10 switcher. Just need a few more patch cables to arrive and I'll get some pics up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pedal for blues / R&B. I've been thinking of picking up the Cusack Screamer also, what's your take on that one?

[/quote] A good pedal too, a bit more versatile since it has three different clipping modes, though I have only really used the middle position which is the least compressed. The three pedals I have are all nice for low gain sounds, they all have a "fine-grained" drive character (as opposed to some crackling or breaking glass type metal dist), the Beta is the darkest voiced, the VMT more high mids and the Screamer somewhere inbetween them. I like the Beta the best because it doesn't change the mids as much as the others, and I like the responsiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rk7 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Just finished this, my first board: [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/71tyya.jpg[/IMG] It's more of a practical 'gather all my floor stuff in one place' board, than a vast array of freaky sounds. I'm not an effects whiz. There is space for an additional pedal in the top right corner, when I can think of something I might use. There's a build thread in the 'Build Thread' thread. The board casing is Walnut, oiled and waxed. The lid is 12mm ply, and the base is MDF. thank you please RK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
