Re: Bass effects!
Chorus fans? I've got the LY-Rock clone of the Julianna on the way for my bass board...

Re: Bass effects!
I plug straight into the amp when playing live, but this is great fun for jamming and such.
Any tips on the order of effects appreciated.
Oh yes, the toe injury smarted a little at the time

Re: Bass effects!
Me, I would go tuner -> QTron -> bass fuzz -> factotum -> cali76 -> BF-2B -> Alpha Omega
Effects like the QTron like a clean signal to work best, putting the compressor after dirt means you can crank them but keep your volume level steady when you go from clean to dirty... preamp at the end to shape the sound with the EQ

Re: Bass effects!
As an alternative layout:
tuner -> cali76 -> QTron -> factotum -> bass fuzz -> BF-2B -> Alpha Omega
I like to compress at the start to give the whole chain a consistent tone, drive into fuzz to give a “MOAR” stack -> modulation, then use Alpha Omega as an Amp Emulator.
Another, probably better, chain is to swap the Cali to be after the Q-Tron to catch any big signal spikes

Re: Bass effects!
With compressor placement you definitely have to find what works best for you, I've always been a first in chain kind of guy with it, but now finding a couple of my fuzz pedals sound best with no buffer before and loud AF so need to control that volume jump, these are the times when you wish you had a G3 or similar and can easily swap the order of pedalsTmcB wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 8:55 am As an alternative layout:

Re: Bass effects!
I will give it a switch about and see.
The Cali into the Dark Glass alone sounds warm and fat! I like the flanger and the sub together - The Cute (edit, The Cure), Faith sorta.

Re: Bass effects!
Yeh, the flanger sounds much better after the comp and the QTron has been tamed.

Re: Bass effects!
Success! The El Grande appears to be a big muff derivative of some kind so its gonna be quite happy to be after buffers and compressors etc... at least in my experience they are

Re: Bass effects!
The Q Tron has a send/return loop. Apparently sending the signal to a fuzz is cool. I'll give it a whirl.

Re: Bass effects!
Is delay on bass an effect that any of you use?
