The only way you can break your pedals, is if you feed your pedals more Volts than it requires. To learn how to not break your pedalss, check out my Pedal Power video… It's extremely simple I promise : https://youtu.be/K_x4N0esm9w
Amazing video thank you. If using EQ on amp, what makes sense then? Effects loop?
Brilliant video.. that is all…
Actually, to add more, this is just the video I needed. As many others have said, I've hunted high and low for a tutorial like this, and the examples you show alongside the explanations are excellent. 10/10.
So much great info
Thanks for this wonderful video. Just what i needed
Depends what you’re playing but dude, put your octave before the dirt and go sub
I know Boss makes great pedals, but they’re butt ugly.
This video could have been 6 mins. You don’t have to tell us what you’re going to show us if you’re literally about to show us. Get an editor.
This is a well thought out and explained presentation. Organising my own pedal board now.
Great vid! Well done, I esp. appreciate keeping the playing to a min. and the actual info and reasoning behind your choices being featured. One question, does your dirt pedal have a blend knob? or is it full spectrum? I keep my dirt post octave and use it's blend of dry signal kinda the same way you use the dry signal from your oc-5.
Do you find having the compressor first impacts the envelope filter and your ability to trigger it with dynamics?
This was great!
Where to drop a DI?
The completely wet signal of the octave pedal is a tracking synth waveform, so any pedal before it will never really effect it at all unless you add dry signal
Experimenting is fun…
This was by far the best walkthrough, and explanation of a bass signal.
One other reason to place your preamp before dirt is to tone shape your "dry" signal to get the best use of any blend knobs in your dirt pedals.
I use a final "preamp" at the end as well as my amp+DI cab sim to FOH.
Great video. Ive been playing bass for a few yrs and i got away with using my guitar pedalboard only using the envelope filter and fuzz.
"Reverd"
Back off your mic or someting. Why are people fine with uploading videos with all the mouth noises?
output volume of the video presentation is too low
I was prepared to not like this video (backwards baseball cap shite), but it was truly excellent and highly relevant to me at this time. Thank you.
awesome demonstration of the experiments. i do the same thing! but about ordering, you may need to go beyond specific type of pedal and into the actual model…for example, i had a guitar rig with a lot of pedals. before the amp I had volume pedal, compressor, phase 90, octavia-style fuzz, overdrive, and hartman flanger…and in the effects loop i had mxr flanger, chorus, boss tremolo, digital delay, analog delay w/modulations, and reverb… notice i had two flangers! the hartman sounded better as last thing before the amp, and the mxr sounded better first thing in the effects loop!!!! so that's where they were in my chain. so in this case it was more than just the type, but the actual model that mattered!!! (then again, i am hyper picky about flangers and i know what i like, and more importantly, what i don't like such as the Boss Flanger which sounds sterile to me!!!)… by the way, 12:46 is SICK!
Great video man. Thanks. (also, typo @ 24:40 "REVERD") Keep up the good work, bro! Bass Players Unite! Low End for LIFE!
Boss website states to connect compressor after EQ. So the order should be: EQ < Compressor < Tuner < Bass guitar.
This IS the best explanation on pedal ordering design for bass!!!
I personally use the same order but I have an overdrive before my wah pedal which, in turn, feeds my Big Muff Delux. This pedal has a clean out… so I then feed my modulation pedals that all have dual inputs and outputs… those then go into a looper that is also stereo and finally all those feed two amps: a 1 x 15" and a 2 x 12".
Both amps have effects loops. I have experimented with the loops but I actually prefer the sounds I get while not using them. It also makes way easier to connect all these spaghettis!!!
Wow, thank you so much man! I honestly thought there was something wrong with my octave pedal and was going to look for a new one but ended up putting it after dirt and envelope. Everything sounds better now – octave, envelope, and dirt. Rad ????
Thanks a lot for this awesome video! BUT, that drone ambient music really gets on the nerves, I think it's unnecessary.
Brilliant explanations thankyou
