    thanks for the advice bass player Jesus, i have a friend who plays guitar on a church and ask him how to set up pedals and all he taught was the obvious cable-to-pedal explanation and i always wanted to know how would u power it up without some sort of power supply which he didnt explained to me, not even the batteries. he plays for a couple of years i guess but i think he doesn't actually understand how the gear works and maybe they have someone who actually sets their gear up unlike me who just learnt an instrument at home and watching lessons and hoping for the best, lot of thanks!

    My dream power supply is no AC cord and one battery. I built it. Uses a DeWalt rechargable battery, steps voltages down to what your pedals need, typically 9vdc, but you can do 12 or 18vdc, or a combination. Mine does 9 and 18 vdc. There's no hunting for AC mains power at gigs; it's really fast setup/takedown. The small 2ah battery usually lasts about 3 gigs, but I always keep an extra charged battery, and recharge after each gig. The batteries have a "fuel gauge" so you know how much juice is left. You can easily substitute the larger 5 ah batteries. Since my compressor, pre-amp and effects are all DC powered, noise is rarely an issue. The whole thing takes up about 1 pedal space. You can build these for use with Milwaukee batteries, too.

    I'm somewhere between level 1 and 3. I had 2 pedals for a while (An earlier model Sansamp from before they added the mid control and a Boss SYB-5 synth), but just bought a reverb pedal (Earthquaker Afterneath and a separate expression pedal) for me to use on either guitar or bass (I really just play at home and have been using the virtual effects on my DAW, so I didn't feel much need to get a bunch of guitar pedals), and now I have 2 more new pedals (Darkglass ADAM and Digitech WhammyDT) and a wooden pedalboard that has not had anything mounted to it quite yet and will almost certainly need expanded immediately (luckily the one I got was pre-slotted and uses brackets to screw multiple boards together side-by-side, allowing me to build up the size and still have one board), and a power supply unit that has not been mounted yet. Once I have these set up better, I plan to get a couple more either/or pedals (ones that are technically guitar pedals, but would sound pretty interesting on bass), mainly a boss ce-1 clone and a surfybear analog spring reverb unit. After that, maybe a couple more pedals like a tremolo or phaser or something. I have most of the stuff for early level 3 right now, but I'm still really at like a late level 1 in terms of execution. Hopefully I'll be able to get the time available to set everything up soon.

    I'm like level 1.5 with level 2.5 ambition. I've got 6 pedals on the board, including line selector and tuner. I've got a cheap clone of the Boss compressor limiter into the deluxe big muff, which has a clean out, so that goes to my EBS octave, which I blend in parallel at the end of the chain with the boss LS2. Out of the big muff, it's a Boss bass EQ. As there's room for one more power supply, out from the LS-2, I'll occasionally add something outboard; I usually carry a little pocket sized Mooer phaser or reverb. It all fits in a tiny flight case pedal board that's like 14" wide.
    For my level of playing, this is already waaaay more than sufficient, but that hasn't stopped me mentally designing my level 3.5; a full palette board built around either the EHX tri parallel mixer or the KMA Tyler Deluxe.

    My pedal has migrated down to a HX STOMP. I think it has one of the best tracking OCTAVE pedals inside. Does everything I need it to do. Except the compression is a PITA.. Has No metering to determine threshold or amount of gain reduction in the edit software. But it works and its small and consistent

    2.5 ATM aiming to go 2.9 as I like diy and I just wanna upgrade my current board which fits 10 boss sized pedals and a power source below to one that has space below the board for some pedals (compressor or perhaps distorsions if I use some kind of switcher) or other stuff such a buffer, di, etc that are always on so they can be tucked below the board. That would be about 14/16 devices in total plus the power source. I doubt I'll ever need more.

    Love your channel! I'm currently using the zoom B1x and my drummers wifes big muff pi, all on a shittly sawed / snapped off old ass pallet, dollar tree ziptied and living in a goodwill suitcase, I split my signal into a small mixer on the board from the wireless (DI out clean channel,1/4inch effected line). out of curiosity why would you want a DI out on your board vs on the amp? maybe non-amp shows/recording? I just have always used the DI out on my Hartke HD500 combo.

    • @ampthebassplayer
      @ampthebassplayer  2 года назад +1

      Thanks dude! The DI on the board is mostly for redundancy. I had one night where the drummer spilled his drink on my amp and so I switched to the board DI and finished out the gig. It’s also great for ampless gigs when I have IEMs.
      Love hearing about your setup! Those DIY boards are a lot of fun and when they work out it feels so good.

    For someone who has a home studio and enjoys creating songs using far out sounds, these effects may be of use with many instruments, including bass, and even the human voice.
    And, I suppose, you could find a venue somewhere that will book you to reproduce such music.
    But in 99% of the gigging bands anywhere in the world, the pedals on your board ruin the sound, benefit, and purpose of a bass guitar.
    The bass has a place in the mix. In a good sounding, properly tuned mix, the bass and the kick drum are married to sound as one. The sound is clean, is tight, and is felt as much as heard. It is the percussive bottom of the sound in songs.
    And the bass player has a job to do. It is not to make a spectacle of his or herself by playing a perpetual bass solo.
    There are bass players of very successful bands that have trampled that rule, such as John Entwistle. But the success of The Who was founded on Pete Townsends ability to write great songs with great melodies and to fit his guitar work into the spaces left open by Entwistle and Keith Moon, who played very well, but also played a perpetual solo.
    By and large, the very best bass players are those that achieve a clean, solid tone and play creatively in the pocket. Their creativity often shows best not in what they play, but in what they don't play. Many players who know and practice this philosophy have a style that is immediately recognized as theirs.
    As for pedals, the bass player only needs two pedals. A very good compressor and a quality direct box. The compressor has a few very valuable benefits. Mainly, it solves the problem of some notes on the bass being too loud and some too soft. My compressor of choice is the Electro Harmonix Platform. It offers a very tailored control of my bass sound.
    As for a quality direct box, my gigging DI is the Radial JDI, mono version.
    Those two devices constitute my whole bass rig. I go ampless and get an amazing sound. As a matter of fact, the rig works so well that I perform using a $199 Ibanez Mikro bass. I bought it because it was the most playable short scale, light weight bass I could find. I have back pain from a work injury in 2012. I can't tolerate a full scale, heavy bass like a Fender Precision.
    I'm all for creating new sounds and new music, as long as it's music and not noise. I'm even good with a player who uses a bass to create new sounds in a band. But unless you completely change the structure of the long beloved full band sound, you still need a bass player laying the foundation in the band while the other player breaks new ground.

    In my experience, most real professionals tend to use fewer pedals, not more, despite the current fad for pedals. For most of my nearly 30-year career as a gigging and recording bassist, I've played with one pedal, a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner. Occasionally, I'd use a compressor pedal, but not always. I do use more pedals now, but I have a total of 5 pedals in my signal chain, including my tuner, and one of them, an acoustic preamp pedal is only there because I play a bass with piezo pickups; it's not needed when I'm playing the magnetic pickups. Tuner, acoustic preamp/DI, compressor, electric preamp/DI, and reverb, and that's it. Accomplished players know exactly what they need and what they don't.

    Why do bass players want to become guitar players by oversaturating effects? The bass holds the line it does not need any effects. Bass Synth, Octave, and many other pedals are a keyboard tool. Distortion can be added by a sound engineer if needed, you don't need fuzz, distortion, or overdrive. The maximum a bassist would need is a preamp and compressor, apart from that octaver and envelope filter if they want to feel a little bit like a guitarist. On Bass, less is more, leave the effects to other harmonic instruments.

    The new cheap pedals are often better than the expensive ones which are only clones of Boss pedals mainly. If you work playing bass good luck but do you have the money for 300$ pedals. The 30$ pedals are often better because they are modified by engineers and don't have the private small companies spending thousands on creating a new pedal. Usually just a clone mod not a new circuit. Guitarists are usually uneducated but have these weird biased opinions with the any knowledge.. Buy the cheap ones and if you like them try out the expensive ones at a reliable shop
