I wasn't convinced until I heard Earth Song. I always wondered how they got that huge bass sound. Rightio, Octave and Envelope filter are on the list. The MXR pedals of each seem pretty killer (especially for the price). Anything else I should consider?

I have always thought an octave/fuzz octave would suit what I want but those videos did not sell me on the idea. I've got a Behringer Ultrabass amp (it was free and its my backup amp shhhhh) that has a built in octave down with a blend. once that amp is repaired and I can play around with it I might find a use for octave down. my board, in order: - Caroline effects Cannonball fuzz vintage king - Morley Mark Tremonti Wah - Bass Muff Pi Nano - VT Bass Deluxe - Polytune 3 nano (straight into the preamp stage on my Orange terror bass with no EQ) VT Bass deluxe was on facebook at a stupid price so I grabbed it to replace my OG VT Bass. I have 3 basses and 2 bands, so each bass has its own preset for each band. its a very big pedal and takes up a lot of space for an always on pedal though. The DI is useful and makes my pedal board a flight rig, although theres some odd design/interface choices such as the FX loop engaging with a double click of the same button that changes between preset bank A or B that make a lot of its features a bit annoying to use. Honestly might go back to the OG VT Bass instead and save this for studio time. the Morley wah is switchless so its great. it is too big though and I want to replace it with one of the new, smaller 20/20 wahs. I dont like Mark Tremonti, but my brother does (I am also a Metallica/Burton tragic so he gave me this when he upgraded. a free Morley is a free Morley.) Cannonball is always on for my doom band. Sounds like ripped speaker cones. the Havoc button means I can make disgusting feedback as chords/notes decay. Another brotherly gift. heres what the Havoc switch does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XiS3fZ3V0Q&t=239s I use the Bass Muff Pi Nano for my 70s rock band as its a bit less angry than the Cannonball and I have it set up as a bit of a boost for when the guitarist is soloing to thicken up the overall sound. I've got about 15 other pedals that arent on there. 80% of them are fuzz. I should've just got an MXR Brown Acid like my buddy and called it a day. that is a drat good bass fuzz.

Why is your tuner at the end of the chain though?

Mute switch just in case something wigs out and starts making noise. I've never had a problem getting in tune but I have had problems with unwanted noise from standing on cables and breaking them or accidentally diming a level knob when kicking a pedal on. The cannonball also needs to be first as its havoc button doesn't interact with the knobs on the guitar if there's a buffer in between the guitar and the pedal.

ethanol posted:are the fender vintera ii jazz basses good? the lake placid blue with rosewood is my thing If you can play one, check out the G&L Tribute JBs. Fit, finish, and hardware on my G&L Tribute P runs circles around any Fender MIM and even most MIJs I've played in my personal experience, and they're available in lake placid blue with rosewood. I'm an absolute fanboy for them now and I might pull the trigger on an MIA next year. G&L *do* trend heavy

So a while ago, I set out to replace my ailing Eden amp with something new and shiny. I saw all kinds of nifty options at the Toronto Long & McQuade music store, only to get there and witness...a refurbished Ampeg and a GK. Not to cast aspersions on GK, but I was hoping on trying out stuff that I hadn't heard before, especially the Mesa-Boogie amps they were supposed to have. So I walked out of there with the GK - it was a nice sounding amp but carrying it was like trying to haul a boat anchor. It had some issues recently so I took it to a local L & M to get it repaired and lo and behold, they had some nice Mesa amps there. I decided that since I'm in my 50s and can't afford getting a hernia every time I have a rehearsal, I would swap out the GK for the more lightweight M-B Subway WD-800. My Dad comes from the days when he would use punch cards with a mainframe and his eyes did this  when I showed him a tube amp* that weighed 7 pounds.* well ok, hybrid

Switched mode power supplies rule and should’ve been introduced sooner.
