I spent the evening cleaning up my pedal board. I'm pretty happy with my current set up. Although I'll probably pick up a phaser at some point and maybe sell the Fulltone for a wounded paw OD. But I'm in no real hurry to do either.

I love the Fender sublime fuzz but the size of the thing is fucking ridiculous.
Let's see some of your pics
This is to remind me to post mine tomorrow. My dad just bought a new camera. Hopefully I can get a 1/2 way decent shot.
I was once kicked out of a band for making fun of the bass players pedalboard constantly. :D
I deserved to get the boot, I was mainly joking but it was obnoxious in retrospect. no regrets tho.
anyway id say thats aboot 6 too many pedals for a bass player. ;)
no I kid again. If i was a bassist i would have a bassballs and a fuzz of some kind and a tuner so Im half way there.
I'm trying to play bass in a new band, as of last night, and the first thing I did was tell the guitarist that his tone was shitty. /gonna be without a second band soon.

You have noticed that two of those pedals are for vocals right? ;)
My bass board does have 7 pedals though. ;D
Tuner->Phaser->Fuzz->Fuzz->Phaser->Delay->Preamp I like like fuzz and phase quite a lot...

I've never considered delay for bass. Can you name a few songs where I could check out what that would sound like?
I'm finishing up my pedalboard for bass and I'm running a bunch of pedals but a lot of them are dirt. Going to be using something like
dunlop bass wah --> fz2 --> bass big muff --> odb3 --> bf-3 --> tr-2 --> carbon copy --> gfs tuner
Maybe a volume pedal haven't decided. That being sad for the vast majority of my music I only use the odb3 and a fuzz the whole time only use the other stuff for ambient passages/jamming. I kinda want the Tech 21 bass od after listening to Russian Circles new stuff.
Need to take a pic of mine... Will do at practice this week.
bbottom... How do you like the TC pedals? I had the TC doubler unit... Not the pedal, but the VoiceTone thing. Still a pedal I guess, but not like yours. Anyway, it picked up so much of the drums and instruments when it was on and made everything sound terrible through our PA. Sold it and got the Boss VE20 and am so happy. The Boss unit rules for vocal doubling and does a decent job of reverb. It also has distortion and a few other things but I haven't played with those effects too much. Anyway, figured I'd drop my $.02 for live vocal pedals. I f'ing love the VE-20.

I'm still messing with a few things: MuRF vs Parachute Wah, Sarcaphogas vs Meathead vs Meathead Deluxe vs Blackout Twosome vs Wattson SuperFuzz (I'll keep a combination of the two).

Can't think of any song examples but delay on bass, like a digital delay around 400ms set to a single repeat with fuzz or distortion sounds awesome. Play a slow riff and it sounds great. GUNG-gung GUNG-gung

I love the vocal pedals. Before I got these I had the TC Helicon create, which is a processor. The thing sounded good but it was a bitch to use on the fly. I prefer the individual vocal stomp boxes so much more. Especially since I'm playing and singing at the same time. I want as little to think about while on stage as possible.
They aren't cheap, but they are so simple to use, and they sound awesome. I can't recommend them enough
Doesn't the bass player in Tool use delay? I also gotta imagine that some of those post-rock bassist are using delay.

The Red Witch phaser died on me, so I need another phaser. Always tinkering with the dirt boxes too.
Not meaning to thread-jack here, but I've heard too many accounts of those red witch effects going south. For the money, that's always bugged me.

I don't really know too many, Tool as already mentioned and Russian Circles but I like that short delay sound bbottom mentioned but below is how I use it with the mix quite low so the trails just bounce along after your notes. Adds a nice vibe to the bassline, hopefully you can make it out it out on the first song but if you can't skip to 2.35 where it's just me and the drums.

Not really "bass" but Robert Smith uses a lot of delay when he plays his baritone guitar w/ The Cure.

echoplex Space Echo for a couple of our really psychedelic jams. Nice and dirty.

Ibanez CP10 Compressor
Yeah, the CP10 isn't in the chain, I have the nano soul preacher first in line above the Qtron. The DC brick is killer, but three of my pedals have massive draw or wonky adapters. (POG/Qtron/DL4)
The tel-ray, DE7 and dist III are still old faithfuls and my love for Ibanez tone-lock has expanded to the chorus/flanger.

I've heard the DC Brick is no different from the one spot (IE: Daisy-Chaining). Still lots of noise?
The Dc brick eliminated all my noise, not to mention a lot of the random feedback I was getting.
i'm also running a Monster AV power conditioner/surgeprotector/groundlifter thingy.
Yeah the brick can get noisey in some environments. It's nice because of the dedicated 18V plugs on the side which is cool for getting more headroom out of some pedals but the noise makes me leave mine at home. For gigs I only use the voodoo labs stuff (I have the 2 and the digital on my board) or the TRex Fuel Tank for smaller boards since they're all isolated.
Really? I have not experienced this.

I've heard it can get noisy. It's probably your Monster making the difference.
For 20 bucks at Ross, that thing was a total steal.

I also run the DC Brick, and haven't had any issues with noise other than what would be expected from dirt pedals with the gain cranked up. The other guitarist in my band was running a BOSS daisy chain thing with all sorts of noise, then I convinced him to get the DC Brick and his noise is much better. Of course, we run modest pedal setups. I've got 6 pedals in line, including my tuner. No pics, but it goes:
TU-2--> Vox Wah-->Phase 90--> Catalinabread DLS (running on the 18v of the DC Brick) --> Maxon OD9--> Deluxe Memory Man (on it's own power supply)
Ive taken to making multiple pedalboards for different occasions.I have enough pedals to keep em stocked and not even dip into my home rig.
Sunn0))))) any complaints or comments on the boss looper?
I have the DL4 which has a looper, and I have teh Lo-Fi Loop junky which I love teh sond of, but neither of those have soe of the features i can imagine myslef using (mainly the ability to store and save loops)
In two of my old places it made noise like crazy and it my new place the Brick is nice and quiet.
I recently got a Boss RC-3 and while looping is cool it's the biggest tone sucker outside of my vintage Vox wah.
Yeah, the loopstation has noticeable tone-suck. I rarely use it anymore, but I used to use the fuck out of it for segues in songs and whatnot.

Repost from the rigs thread
(http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz193/grimniggzy/rig1002.jpg)
Signal chain is OC-2 -> Pitchblack -> 3Leaf Proton Fromel Edition -> QTron -> 90's RAT II -> Prunes & Custard Clone -> Fromel Shape EQ -> First Act Chorus -> Ibby AD-80 -> VT Bass
Voodoo PP2+ to run it all
I am planning out a new pedal board build soon for myself and my bass player. I saw you guys were discussing the power source and had to comment. I have been using a Visual Sound One Spot for about 4 years now with no problems at all other than the plug from the One Spot hit the floor hard one evening and promptly died. Easy replace though. I have had no noise issues at all with it and recommend it to by battery using friends.
I guess what I am asking is, Is there a difference using a Power brick or similar power source? I use a Crybaby->TS9 Tubescreamer->Small Stone Nano-> Boss DD3 delay->tuner, nothing with a huge power draw really. Maybe thats why I have no noise issues?
I used one spot for a long time, it worked fine. I mainly bought the voodoo because it powers my Qtron which takes 24 volts. My bet is you won't notice much difference.

Yes. I'm dead in the water if I can't see my fretboard on "stage". (we still haven't played a venue with an actual stage or sound person) The red light looks kind of cool and is just barely adequate. It's just a lightbulb holder with a switch on the cord and I have no idea where I got it, it was years back. They aren't easy to find.

Another update to my board. I might swap some of the dirt pedals around (maybe replace the Wattson with the Vault). I got a Disaster Area DMC-6 midi switcher for the Mobius, Timeline and Space. I'm still figuring it out...midi talk makes absolutely no senese to me but the Disaster Area guy is good about returning my frequent emails. I can not only switch presets with one button for all three pedals I can turn them on or off together but I can also control the looper of the Timeline with it in case I want two different loops going (one of the Ditto and another on the Timeline).

Now with the Mountain King Heavy Machine (awesome pedal with 3 distinctly usable fuzz voices).
updated pedal board.
The only other thing that I would get effects wise at this point is a reverb pedal. I love using reverb with bass. However I'm in no hurry and will probably get another cab first.
