r/basspedals

Decided to do something with all my extra pedals. The empress was on the main board, but I decided I wanted it here on a quick little go board instead. Eventually want to replace the Fliptop and Element with an all in one Preamp/DI, just haven’t been able to decide on what yet… if you have any fun recommendations I’m all ears. Some considerations I currently have are the Aguilar Tonehammer V2 or Mesa Subway+. Anyways happy to finally have a little mini go board

I've exhausted my resources. Which pedal is this? I recognize all the other ones.

Hey guys! I am planning on finishing my pedalboard! Right now I have the sansamp, pork & pickle and the TU-3 and have been very happy with it. I would like to add the SGT-DI to my board and have the ability to switch between the SGT-DI and the sansamp line with the AB switch. The SGT can only run into the effects loop of my amp. One day I would like to add some sort of wireless to my rig but that will be a future thing. Would this setup work? If there are any things you guys would recommend, please share!!!

Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share your experience with the SGT-DI. I have been reading some good things and been really liking how it sounds! Thanks everyone!

Hello again, I’m back with more bullshit, and open to opinions on how to improve upon what y’all think is bullshit here. Cheers

First time/long time. Attempting to downsize my rig a bit by replacing rack mounted sansamp with BDDI V2. Still need to dial everything in and may swap ODB-3 with Damnation Audio MBD2 but here is the current state of things. Open to suggestions. Cheers!

Hey everyone, hoping to get some opinions/experiences on the Olympic!

I’m considering swapping out some pedals at end of chain for my mini board. I’ve seen the Olympic here and there, but actually just started looking into it… it seems like everything I could possibly want.

The Jad Freer is the tried and true Preamp that a lot of players who play my genre (CCM) seem to be switching to… but I feel like if I went that route, I’d simply be doing it because it’s “what everyone else is doing”. I’ve never felt a hard pull towards it…

The Olympic on the other hand has me excited on paper. I never see any boards with it or people talking about it though so hoping to get some more insight. Thanks!!

Very impulsively purchased the MXR Textures and I've had it on my desk for the last day or so. There's not much information about this pedal at there, especially for bass players, so i figured I'd jot down my initial impressions and gripes.

First off, I am super impressed with the sounds that can be coaxed out of this pedal. There are many more parameters than just the 6 knobs and two buttons. Holding down each of the buttons on top enables those parameters. In lieu of that I wish they made the pedal bigger, as I have been finding myself reaching for them often, and it's kind of annoying.

The presets are good starting points. Each one showcases different modes and parameters, and some of them are directly serviceable for bass right out of the box, which is nice.

So far I've been focusing on creating wide-spectrum ambient pads with each of the modes and have come up with some really nice sounds. All the different parameters interact with each other in very cool ways. I've definitely only scratched the surface.

Now, for initial gripes. Since I'm old and that's what old people do.

• The HPF/LPF is insanely sensitive. Definitely a pro/con, but I've found the effect gets entirely dialed out after about 50%
• With enough tweaking, I've found myself in a spot where I'm not sure which secondary parameter is causing a particular issue. Dialing back the Overlap helps with this but not entirely. The upshot of this is that the parameter settings persist, so getting the pedal back to "baseline" is kind of a pain.
• I have accidentally tweaked more than one knob when adjusting secondary parameters, leading to something very cool but leaving me totally unsure as to what i did to make it happen.
• The pedal gets very warm, even when it's not engaged. This tracks for digital pedals, and I have many on my board (boss GT-1000 core, a couple source audio pedals), but this gets REALLY warm. I'm sure it's fine but it was a little surprising to notice.

EDIT: Didn't notice I typo'd the title till i posted it. Oh well..

This just arrived last week and I was afraid it wasn't what I needed at first. After a few days of dialing it in, it has become THE sound of my bass on a project that I'm working on. The term "modern netal" gets used a lot when people talk about it but it does a lot more than that. I have a nice, thick Motown sound using my Fender Jazz with flatwounds on it. Game changer. I did have an Ampeg SCR-DI but the dirt channel on it was thin and transparent. I can dial some grit in on the Darkglass and it makes my signal fat and thick without being fuzzed out. It's way more versatile than most people give it credit for.

Bonus points if you can guess the genres i play
