@bridgehouse Don't rule out a zoom ms60b. For one boss sized pedal you you could easily pop it at the front of your line and use it for your compressor, tuner and synth. The synth on it is quite basic but it tracks brilliantly. I don't use alot of compression but according to takbass, the comps are very good too.
So far my favourite is the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe but I really want to try a Cog.
Check their site out - http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/stock-pedals.php
They do custom finishes and custom pedals as well http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/custom.php
It sometimes doesn't track though, especially with very trebley sound and a bit of fret rattle.
Signal chain so far:
Smooth hound receiver => polytune => Boss LS-2 (Which I'm using in A+B Mix and the 'Mix' is the Bad Monkey) => Ampeg SCR-DI
Separate FX Loop Chain:
Corona Chorus => The Prophet => Skysurfer
My thoughts so far:
- I like the Pedaltrain board
- I like the Voodoo Pedal Power
- The LS-2 is very flexible, and I like the idea of mixing dry and FX sounds for bass
- Bad Monkey is interesting - if you dime the Low + High, add a tiny bit of gain and set the level, you get an interesting, bright boost (when mixed 50/50 with dry)
- The Ampeg SCR-DI is really really good. The Ampeg sound of the preamp is spot on. Better than the PF500 when I tried that.
- The Scrambler is usable with low drive - nice crunch. Gets messy when dimed.
- Corona is a pretty good bass chorus
- Prophet + Skysurfer are fine for the limited delay and reverb I will use on bass
For the gaps, I have space inbetween the LS-2 and the SCR-DI for a Compressor, and a B3K
In the LS-2 loop, I will probably keep Bad Monkey, and add in an envelope filter/bass synth - I like the idea of mixing this with dry to keep the low end.
Am I right in thinking you use flats? If so I can't really do any useful clips as I use steel strings.
Unfortunately, however, I went for a stroll around some shops and came home with a Pedaltrain 3 board, which is much bigger...
