Very tidy! there’s so much to be said for a nice simple setup like this.sal paradise wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 10:48 amFINALLY got round to getting a decent pedalboard again. It’s so nice having space. Gotta get a bracket to pop the power supply underneath & then buy a splitter to make effects loop setup easier.
And just enough room to add a Supermoon. Maybe…
All you need on there is a cheeky little BD-2 and you could cover pretty much every gig. Great setup. I'm a big fan of uncrowded and purposeful boards. If you look at a large majority of small to medium sized touring bands their pedalboards are relatively simple and unassuming.sal paradise wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 10:48 amFINALLY got round to getting a decent pedalboard again.

I’m not sure I’d be able to use a phaser sensibly. Although it might reduce the amount of times I keep trying to put chorus on everything…
I get that, however I always feel I like a fuzz is an effect whereas having 1 gain/OD pedal to grit up a clean setting - or boost a dirty amp - is almost a necessity, a tool more than an effect.sal paradise wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:17 pmTrying to reduce the number of gain pedals I needJSett wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 12:55 pmAll you need on there is a cheeky little BD-2 and you could cover pretty much every gig.

Really happy with this setup. The 1st version didn’t quite work for me. This board is just what I like on guitar- simple things that sound good.
I get it. If I had a bassman, I’d probably have a board of just drivesJSett wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:38 pmI get that, however I always feel I like a fuzz is an effect whereas having 1 gain/OD pedal to grit up a clean setting - or boost a dirty amp - is almost a necessity, a tool more than an effect.sal paradise wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:17 pmTrying to reduce the number of gain pedals I needJSett wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 12:55 pmAll you need on there is a cheeky little BD-2 and you could cover pretty much every gig.

But everyone's tastes are different and needs vary. I don't have any high-gain amps so need a little boost for when I wanna get heavy.
The Bassman actually gets pretty damn dirty with just a Jazzmaster and up above 7 or 8 on the volume. 6-7 is that perfectly crispy rock sound where you can lighten up on the right hand and be almost crystal clean but dig in for the grit. I only have a BD-2 set as a mild boost/drive to push it for choruses and slightly heavier parts but, for the most part, my hamfisted blasting of the strings with it turned off is more than enough.sal paradise wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:42 pmI get it.

I like a driven amp, and as I’ve got older I like to turn the gain down, so boosting it seems like I’m trying to trick myself back to overly-heavy tones again.
