Which Audio-CV processor for bass guitar?

I wanna play my synth with my bass. Synth pedals are either boring or too menu divey. What is the best Audio-CV module out there? Been looking at the Sonicsmith E1, the Verbos Real World Interface, the Analogue Systems RS35, and the Expert Sleepers Disting Ex. The Verbos seems most up my alley since it can work with two signals at once, but I want whichever one tracks the best and has the most versatility.

Playstationeer and Radiatical

Just wanted to let the sub know that the two users mentioned in the title have been banned for scamming.

If you executed a trade with either of these accounts that has not yet been delivered I recommend looking into your shipping carrier's package intercept options.

Reminder to all to be diligent, it is very easy to get excited about an awesome trade and overlook red flags.

Need Cab Suggestions to Tone Down the Highs

I am currently running a Phil Jones BG400 4x5" combo with a Phil Jones Cab 67 6x7" extension cab. They sound great clean and the lows are some of the best I've ever gotten out of a bass amp. The problem is that I absolutely hate tweeters, and Phil Jones cabs don't come with tweeter attenuators. So unless I'm running a low pass filter or cab sim at the end of my pedal chain, the highs get way too chirpy and harsh when I run dirty or wet effects. The filter solution isn't ideal because I do still want to be able to get some highs.

What cabs are good these days for broad and deep frequency response without harsh high end?

SOTB: Now I have to learn how to program this damn thing

I need a bigger board, or maybe just a second one for all my dirt, expression pedals, wah, etc.

There's a Morningstar ML10X and MIDI Box and an OBNE MTET MIDI-to-Expression controller underneath as well.

I have never used MIDI before so there is going to be quite a learning curve for all this, but I'm excited to make some weird noises.

NPD! DiCosimo Audio 800rb

I waited a long time for these to be available again and it was SO worth it! I've owned several GK amps throughout the years and this thing nails the tone! I like a very mid-forward sound and between the Low and High Mid controls and the Contour switch I'm able to make it growl without getting too honky. Coupled with the Boost foot switch and it gets the classic GK "rails" overdrive that no other pedal I've tried can emulate.

In a world full of SVT and B15 clones, this preamp is a breath of fresh air.

Signal Routing for Loops and Drones

So I've got a weird routing situation and I was wondering if there was a pedal that does what I need.

I've got a Microcosm, Dream Sequence, and am planning on getting a looper and a few other such pedals that can make their own sounds or continue making sound after you stop playing. Is there a compact-ish loop switcher that would let me send signal to one or more of these pedals, and then cut the input and switch back to a different effects loop to continue playing over top without cutting the output? I know some loop switchers have "trails" functions, but they tend to take up a ton of board space like the Klein Bottle (not to mention the cost)

SotB: we're gonna need a bigger board

I decided to strip my board down to just the basics until I decided what I want to do. Top row is the Dirty channel, bottom row is Clean. Blended together they sound amazing.

Second picture is the rest of the collection so far.

Not pictured is the EQD 4 channel splitter and mixer that live under the board.

Not sure what else out of my collection I want to try and squeeze in there for now. I also have my old Pedaltrain Pro board in the closet, I might grab another power supply and put all the weird stuff on that one and keep this board mostly the way it is now.

Thoughts? Concerns? Questions?

NPD: AMT APH-12

Almost rounded out my collection (the Delay is on the way)

This pedal is incredible. It's in a similar vein as the Moogerfooger 12 Stage Phaser (I don't have one to compare side by with anymore) but with envelope control, a slightly different flavored drive (that is bypassable!) and the ability to choose an unprecedented number of stages with a knob. It also won't take up a third of your pedalboard and cost a $1000+ used (yet). The odd-stage settings are really cool and unique. This thing can go from vintage phaser all the way to crazy synth and envelope filter sounds and self oscillation. It doesn't have all the ins and outs of the Moog, but it has one switchable CV/expression input to control the four most relevant knobs.

Asheville Music Tools pedals are all incredible, but I could say that if you just want a standard sound, get a cheaper pedal. On the other hand, if you want a semi-modular analog synth on your pedalboard, consider these before buying a similar used Moogerfooger at hyper inflated prices.
