The midi controller replaces two pedals: a dedicated tuner and a separate switch presets on the stomp. I’m still playing around and figuring out all the features of the controller and how I want to use them. It’s a bit more setup in advance, but once it’s set up everything’s easier.
I'm using a sansamp v2 which is great. Honestly, I love it and I have no complaints. The issue is that I have a few places where I leave pedal boards for rehearsals and performances and am looking to get a new preamp anyway simply to make my musical travels easier. I could definitely just get another sansamp, but I'm curious if there's amps that fit my style.
I'm firmly a flatwounds player. My main bass is a fender pj bass (1987 MIJ Jazz Bass Special). I play finger style almost exclusively. I'm a big fan of the "rolled down tone knob on a p bass with flats" sound of Duck Dunn.
Is there a vintage-style preamp for R&B guys like me?
It needs to have XLR out. I would like the parallel output that a sansamp has, but it's not a deal breaker
Adding the mantle to my gig board and swapping around some bits on my fun board
This must be the rehearsal board. But it's quite curious to have 2 shape shifters.
Go watch the interview, it's very good
Any thoughts on Oceans 11, hall of fame 2, walrus etc?
Don't really want to go crazy money!
Cheers
Hey there! I'm new pedalboards, is there any good budget preamp that you guys would recommend? I'm quite confused at this state 😤
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my pulp n peel.
it makes my sound crackle, kinda distorted. to me it sounds like I'm clipping the input...
Here are two recordings
https://soundgasm.net/u/cotardante/Pulp-n-peel-telecaster
https://soundgasm.net/u/cotardante/Pulp-n-peel-Bass
The first one is through a telecaster, the second on a P Bass. I bought the pedal for the bass, I don't think it is that noticeable on the guitar, although there's definitely some weird dirt in there to me. At the end of the bass recording, I turn the pedal off.
Everything is recorded straight from the DI output of the pedal into my audio interface, but the problem is there regardless of the output of the pedal. I've isolated the pedal for the recording, so it's directly powered by it's own cable. Comp setting is on the lower side (9 o'clock), blend is full.
I do have SPB 3s on my bass, so high(ish) output, but still, it seems weird that it would clip that way. I wanted a clean comp for my bass, but this is unusable as is...
I bought it second hand and I have no way of returning it, and I'm Europe.
Does anyone have any Idea what the problem could be, or how I could troubleshoot it ?
I was gifted $300 at Reverb. What would you add or change on this board? Everything is on the table to be added or swapped.
Board alone, and bonus family portrait. Details + signal rundown in comments.
I used to work in a guitar store and was a true bypass boutique pedal elitist. We used to snicker at people who bought Boss pedals. Now I prefer pedals that are more generic and easy to replace.
I didn’t care for the Blumes when I first bought it, sold it and bought another. When I was recording with my band and doing some tone searching I had an ah ha moment with my Tubescreamer and figured out how to make this kind of circuit fit well in the mix.
The Brainwaves is used exclusively for octave up, 7ths and 5ths.
I cut 30hz and dip 62.5hz on the EQ because my band uses electronic kick drums so the bass and bass drums aren’t in conflict.
The Fender reverb has a low cut and by using just a tiny bit of room reverb I feel like it allows the bass to breath a little.
I really dig this thing. I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations on settings for a more modern sound.
And does it have to be an expensive radial bass di or does a cheap DI from thomann suffice?
I use an antique bass tube head without DI-Out. I do have a joyo monomyth preamp with di-out, but i prefer it somewhere in the start of my signal chain, right after the tuner and compressor. So should i trust the venue for having a di for bass?
I use to have an amp with di out back in the day, but havent played for several years. Just started again and got our second gig coming up.
Once I acquire the Spatial Delivery, I will have filled all slots on my Cioks DC7. All I need to do is acquire an actual board to put them on. Seeing as this will only be Phase 1, we’re gonna need a bigger board. What do you guys think of my progress so far?
Doom lovers rejoice! As I was playing with the new noise gate trying normal metal riffs, I cranked the % gate up to 100% for fun. I started to hear some sputtering as it was opening and closing on small changes of sound. Took a Hizumutas NAM file going into the new gate with it at 100% gate and achieved a gated fuzz effect on a modeler pedal! It was sputtery with slight velcro texture and unpredictability to it. I spent an hour just riffing and building on it with shimmer reverb and flanger to create noise. ❤️ Thank you Darkglass!
Getting the Anagram has been the best gear purchase I have probably ever made. I take this board, my bass, and a powered PA speaker to use a wedge if the venue stage monitors suck.
I found a custom painted Zzombee for a steal online and quickly fell in love with the way these people think. I sold a bunch of pedals and picked up the SeaBee from the Reverb Outlet for cheap and I grabbed a limited edition blush Bee Bee Dee to add to the board. Both of the mini expression pedals are on risers so I can use them without hitting anything.
It’s pure madness. No two ways about it.
So i received the mosky king rat and boss ls2 thourgh the mail today and i think my pedalboard is about complete for now. Now, how to arrange it properly?
i'm thinking about making 2 returnchannels with the ls2, one with the fuzzwah and the Rat, and one with the 3 modelling effects. i want to be able to mix the rat with a clean signal to maintain low end. so maybe like this?
Tuner > Compressor> Whammy > Boss LS2 > loop 1: fuzzwah > King Rat > Bos LS2 > loop 2: Chorus>Flanger>Delay > Boss LS2 output > Joyo Monomyth Preamp
Would this work?
btw: i'm considering adding a seperate Di-out box after the compressor or maybe whammy, ór place the preamp after the compressor, so i would be able to send a clean and distorted signal to FOH if the venue allows it.
