Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

I used a jugsaw with a metal blade. Was a nightmare as you can probaly see. Problem is you need to cut through two sides at once. 

Yeah, Rockboard should be easier as it’s only a single layer. I do have the dremel to tidy it up a bit though.

 

Just can’t decide if I should mount the Mod 1 patchboy or individual IEC, XLR and 1/4 jack sockets. At least the individual ones can go on the sides and should leave more space for my Sansamp and Cioks underneath.

Thought I'd found my board's final form, but then the Bassrig Fifteen dropped, I realised I have no need for two drives, and I decided I preferred the Julia over the Analog.Man (probably going to sell it if anyone's interested). It does leave one loop empty, but it'll be a guest loop or.... something.

Love this board!  How do you find the octabvbre and Fifteen play together?  I've always found cab sims take away everything I love from my Octave pedals...

My pedal riser board currently:

 

Schu-Tone Ramparts (Green Muffin w/mids) -> Mooer Envelope -> MXR Vintage Octave -> TC Corona Chorus -> TC PolyTune Mini 3

 

 

There’s room for another 1590a sized something above the two TC pedals, so I think that might have to be an MXR or Mooer micro power, as it’s all running on a daisychain at the mo, which I suspect the two digital pedals will eventually not agree with if I gig this setup.

Thank you! The Fifteen hasn’t had a negative impact on the Octabvre to my ears. It tames the low low end, but it still sounds like and octave, and you can turn it off, or only have it on when the pedal is active.

… so had a break from putting boards together (as they take so long and I keep on changing them, I’m sure that’s never happened before on here 🤣🤣).

 

The plan is to have a modular Pedaltrain  Nano system, so everything ends up going through the utility board (Red Panda Mixer - Polytune 3 Mini - Lusithand Alma Mk 3 - Sfx Microthumpinator V2 - Franklin Audio Passive DI):

 

 

The instrument boards are for a Fretless (Cali 76 Bass - DCX Bass - MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe - MXR Carbon Copy):

 

 

Fretted (G-Lab BC 1 Comp - Creation Audio Grizzly Bass - Creation Audio Funkulator):

 

 

and lastly the modulation board for Key Bass (Empress Effects Tremolo 2 - Vein Tap Dark Arts (Phaser) - EHX Eddy (Chorus) - MXR Carbon Copy Delay Mini):

 

 

The idea is to be able to be more discerning with pedal choices for different instruments.

 

I play at church and sometimes want to use all three

instruments (no, not at the same time 🤣), sometimes only two and other occasions fretted only. This should make things more simple and easier to move about, rather than having a monster board where most of the pedals aren’t used!

 

I’ll post pics when it’s all tested and built up, but you hopefully get the idea of my thinking.

 

Peace.

Isn’t there a funkulator in the grizzly?

[jimbobothy]

… yes, but I ain’t bending down for no-one to change my settings on a gig 🤣🤣

Loving this approach, I'm doing something similar, as in the modular approach.

 

I have a "meat and potatoes" board for traditional bass duties... and then another x2 that patch in after this depending on the project I'm playing on.

I've not had a pedal board for sometime but after buying the Origin Effects BR15 a few weeks ago I thought it rude not to build one around my new di / preamp.

 

A simple board comprising an analog chorus into a compressor and then straight into the preamp / Di.

 

[needmorebass]

What does the power LT do? Separate volume for 1/4 out?

It's a 9v battery power supply. No need to plug into anything at a gig. Just charge up and go.

@jimbobothy I've been thinking of a modular setup a bit like yours, but I've not yet figured out what to do in terms of power.  Or where/how to insert each board in the signal chain. Interested to hear how you get on.

How’s that super sound. Is it transformer based like some of their drive units?

No the Supro Chorus has no transformer. It does have a super analog warm type chorus sound complete with pure analog hiss.

To be honest the hiss is not noticeable while playing but it ain't silent.

Because it has two bucket brigade chips it produces a warm swirling sound if the dimension knob is used.

Very 1980s.

It is very lush.

Thick squishy syrupy lush sound.🎶🎶

… well the Redpanda 3 into 1 mono mixer is the key, this alows me to have 3 separate boards each only going into the last board (the utility one with DI) to go to FOH. Power will be via 1 Spot 9V PSU if they all play nicely (after checking before building the boards lol). I’ll probably need x 2 PSU and x2 small daisy chain cables. I’ve got some pedals on ‘the shelf’ that need other power, so if I end up using those I’ll need to rethink the power requirements then. 
 

Hopefully it’ll all come together 🤣
