Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

Why is it when you buy just one pedal you have to keep buying until the pedal board is full.

The little box for picks is such a good idea. I’m going to steal that. Where did you get it from?

I snapped the end tags off as I'm no longer using a Rockboard pedal board. Just add Velcro to the bottom and fix to your board.

Looks like Andertons do the flat bottom one.

No need to snap off the tags.

I just buy a tobacco tin from the poundshop and stick some velcro underneath

Doesn’t that hurt?

New simplified layout. Just got the Source Audio Aftershock and it sounds pretty good, it replaces 3 seperate drive pedals. Not got into the software side of it yet as I don’t have the right cable but it’s good so far.

Current writing/rehearsal board. The Blackhole replaced the Walrus Lore, and has changed the way i play ambient. Just waiting on a Russian Bif Muff to replace the R.Attack for that warm fuzzy drive.

Just added my latest addition - Keely Bassist, purchased from BC this week. 
 

Everything I now need and an absolute tone monster for a mid range board. 
 

Once I’m back in the black, I’m going to swap Hot Wax and Battalion out for a Pork & Pickle and a Tech-21 VT.

But no upgrades until I find some cash. For now this will do very nicely.

The mxr bass synth is finally on the board. The chameleon preset is so good I'm just going to leave it there. Something I have found, is that the phasor gives the synth sound a different twist with an extra vowel like quality.

Just finished soldering the last few cables for this board for a new tour that starts in Feb. 
 

 

Signal chain is:

 

Instruments > Quad Cortex

 

MC3 handles instrument switching and muting. Grape is in one of the QC’s FX Loops. The Peterson is on the Send from the other FX Loop in monitor mode so it’s always active and gives visual feedback of instrument tuning/intonation at all times.

 

All Ins/Outs are fed through the Mod:

 

Ins:

Upright Bass mic > Mod XLR in > QC Input 1 (XLR with Phantom power)

Upright Bass piezo > Mod 1/4” > QC Input 2 (1/4” Jack)

Electric Bass > Mod 1/4” > QC Return 1

 

Outs:

QC XLR 1 (Electric Bass) > Mod XLR Out 1

QC XLR 2 (Upright) > Mod XLR Out 2

QC Output 4 (TRS) > Mod 1/4” (mix of all 3 signals (mic/piezo of upright and electric) to feed my Porter and Davies Gigster

 

Power:

Everything powered by a Cioks DC7, with the Crux powering the Quad Cortex.

 

 

I bodged the drilling a little bit, but I installed one of these nifty Powercon In/Out units allowing me to daisy chain power from my board to the rack with the P&D Gigster in it.

 

All jack plugs are Squareplugs

Nice to see the Grape Phaser included in your setup 👍🏻

I wanted it specifically for this tour, as it is what was used on the show in the west end and I loved the sound of it!
