  • The thing I learned right away with pedals is the importance of blending clean signals especially with compression. Compressions that auto blend are not always the right sound or feel for compression. Blending clean and modulated signal is one of the most dynamic options on pedals.

  • Pretty cool. I have a Blackstar amp and other than the tuner this pedalboard is built into the amp. It's more of a pedalboard lite since all of the effects are very limited in the adjustments and locked into the order. I picked up the bass again a couple years ago after a 25 year hiatus, never used pedals before so the built in effects are a nice intro to me and good in a pinch. I did recently get a DemonFx (Origin Effects clone) Cali76 compressor, that is a huge improvement over the onboard compressor and I can't imagine playing without it now.

  • I used to be a bass-cable-amp guy. Then I got a job and learned how to properly use pedals and have a full board now, mostly to spice up practice.

  • Thanks for sharing. Nice explanation and overview. I just bought a Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig v2 multi effects which includes Compressor, EQ, Drive, Octaver, Fuzz, and Chorus all in one. I'm still playing around with it and getting used to how to manipulate it in the way I want.

  • i don't even know how many clip on tuners i bought, before i buckled down and got a Tuner Pedal …. but My Tuner Pedal Still Works ( that's why you get a tuner Pedal )

  • Agree with tuner, comp, octave and distortion (overdrive, fuzz, dirt in general). Personally, I would rather have some sort of preamp instead of chorus.

  • I was going to look into more pedals but finances and inflation tell me otherwise for now. So I currently have a Morley wa, a berringer overdrive, a berringer reverb delay combo, and a boss loop station. I almost picked up a chorus but right now finances are tight.

  • Get a HeadRush MX 5. It's ALL in there plus cabs and amps. $400. About 12"x 10", weighs a couple pounds. It's a game changer.

  • I can never seem to condense my board to just 5
    I think if I was gigging I could but most of the time I’m just stuffing around creating sounds in my music room so why wouldn’t I want to try and have all the sounds

  • Nice suggestions!

    I tried many compressors, and because in most cases I am getting compressed by someone else later in the chain I opted for not having on on my board.

    I’d switch that option to a preamp so I can have tone shaping capability for different basses and rooms.

    As far as a modulation, I have always liked phaser on bass. Just has that sound I love.

    Great video dude!
