    Not exactly a must-have but an envelope filter can sound really cool on bass.

    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.

    Nice selection! I would definitely put a Radial DI on the very end of this chain.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @AdamAarts

    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!

    Nothing wrong with the pedalboard but I would include a compact modelling unit like the HX Stomp and a synth pedal - Source Audio C4. These two pedals bring heavy processing power to your rig, all the effects you (don't) need, signal chain flexibility and can replace some of the other pedals (like the chorus or one of the comps).

    • @erikarko
      @erikarko  3 года назад +2

      The HX Stomp is a tricky one that I didn’t want to include on the list for a few reasons… first and foremost, it’s like an entire pedalboard of its own 😂

    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.

      If you’re planning on running your pedalboard straight to the FOH, then a
      Preamp/DI is essential for toneshaping and whatnot :)
