Help me plan my pedal board

I like to plan things out until I'm sick of doing so. Here in a few months I will be putting together a pedal board and would like input on what you guys think I need and don't. Here's what I have so far.

Pedaltrain Classic Pro 32"x16" Pedalboard - with Tour Case

Yankee HS-M24 Power Supply

Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig Multi-effects Pedal

DigiTech Bass Whammy

DigiTech Whammy Ricochet - Pitch Shift Pedal

Korg XVP-20 volume expression pedal

Boss TU-3W Waza Chromatic Tuner Pedal

Looks good! I also love planning!! However i don't see any distortion. Maybe you could get some???

Sorry to be a pain, but what are your thoughts on mine?

PolyTune Mini 2 Truetone Visual Volume Crybaby GCB95 Wah Xotic SP Compressor Ibanez Tubescreamer Hand-wired Electro-Harmonix SIlencer T-Rex Replicator Tape Delay

I have an ISP Theta pedal that I've used for recording distortion guitar part I could throw on if I wanted, but I started out playing with heavy distortion on the bass a lot and grew out of it. I try to go more towards bending and adding to the natural sound of a bass.

I like your board. Only thing things that come to mind would be a chorus and maybe a delay. A lot of the gear you have I haven't used myself before, like the tube screamer, so I can offer little input on those.

What power supply are you using?

I was thinking something like the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+. Seems pretty reliable. Also, the T-rex pedal has chorus and delay! It's really cool but is super expensive

I learned all too late, it's better to save up and buy the expensive thing you know you want and will like VS paying probably more for a handful of pedals that don't do it for you. That ISP Theta I pretty much bought just to have a good noise gate and maybe some extra EQ. It was too much though. At one time, I had my Bass EQ already, plus the Theta plugged in, plus a Sansamp RBI, plus a Sansamp RPM. Too much EQ choices. It take's forever to find exactly what you want, then you switch instruments and it's all wrong again. I don't listen to Djent music, but I would like to have the ability to play that weird tone their bassists have.

For the cash of that Voodoo, you can get the smaller Yankee power supply. Those sound like the best supplies on earth right now.

Awesome! Well thanks for the tips, I will look at those power supplies

What's the difference between the PS series and the HS series? I am currently looking at the HS-M10

Features and number of jacks.

HS = Expert Series (tons of jacks, extra features, higher total power allowance.)

PS = Solid Series (more affordable, smaller, less bells and whistles)

Cool thanks

As for your setup, do you need the pitch shift, as you have a whammy and a octave on your multi effect board?

what do you think of the fly rig so far?

that's a simple and effective setup

what amp(s) are you running into? that's a lot of money out front of your amp, I hope you have something super-badass to amplify all that (particular that super-expensive new tape delay)

If I knew what amp you use or are planning to use I would have more to say about the TS808 as I have strong opinions on the tubescreamer and its cousins and their effectiveness as a lead boost is totally amp dependent. They can be amazing or total mush based on your amp's voicing. Nothing against them, I was a tubescareamer man for over a decade when I played mostly blackface amps... also, don't you already have a TS9 mini? the difference between a 9 and 808 is negligible, you will barely hear it, and going for the handwired gains you nothing but a hole in your wallet in a 9 volt circuit over just getting a straight 808 reissue. Handwiring makes a circuit easy to service on the road, but tubescreamers never break unless you plug them into the wrong power supply. They may use a better grade of caps and resistors as you step up the ladder of tubescreamer models from mini to handwired, but the effect on the sound will be very little as the circuit is already mid-focused. Better parts will pass bass and treble more accurately with better transient response to a certain extent, but the entire TS platform s actually design to squash that anyway. The big thing that makes the tubescreamer mids blurry is the op-amp and diode configuration and those 2 elements with their distinctive slew rate are the reason to go TS in the first place.

I learned all too late, it's better to save up and buy the expensive thing you know you want and will like VS paying probably more for a handful of pedals that don't do it for you.

I learned that lesson on my first Marshall amp, a channel switchin 800 I hated. Try as I might I could not get the big stack sounds of my youth from it, just a weedy imitation... obtaining a plexi and a single channel 800 at reasonable prices a year or so later changed everything and set me on my path towards waiting to purchase what I really want or building it myself if its total unobtainium

as far as EQ choices? at the moment I have like 3 EQish knobs between 3 amps if I run wet/dry/wet and 2 of them are the tryanor's baxandall EQ and the other is a set-and forget bass voicing knob (the cut controls on the 30 waters and presence control on the traynor just stay wide open, treble is my friend)... I am always looking for stuff that's voiced right and just needs the right input and/or output levels to make the noise I want

my pedal drawer is pretty simple and mainly MIDI right now... after having a version that could control some head switching with a Nova system, octave fuzz and analog chorus I realized I didn't use half the cool presets I was making, so the current iteration put all the amps on all the time and went down to bare bones effects:

TC Polytune, Brian May Treble Booster (always on), TC Nova Drive in preset mode, Radial Tonebone ABY (one side to a dry amp), TC Flashback X4 (always on at least as a SUPER subtle tape slap) to 2 wet amps

using the shitty behringer FCB1010 to change patches and tap tempo, so far so good with her, but I don't do a ton of stimping and only have like 6 patches right now I think

last I played with a drummer I just used 2 amps w/stereo delay and didn't use my dry output (ac30HW and this old traynor I bought earlier this year) and was hella loud in a good way, bright, present, full but not harsh.... but its cool to throw the matchless in too for the ef86 channel and dual rectifier squish too if I can get away with that much more level (6x12's is a lot of speakers, particularly throwing 100+ watts of potential power)... obviously nothing is set up to be really clean with my bridge pickups at full volume on the guitar... its a rock rig

I really like letting my amplifiers do the distorting and really work the speakers hard. As opposed to bass where Boom's rig is more my style. I like tons of clean headroom and any 'grunt' should be out front so you can really narrow in on what frequency ranges are grinding. Though I do prefer tube to solid state for bass as long as its excessively loud and punchy tube amplification.

As for your setup, do you need the pitch shift, as you have a whammy and a octave on your multi effect board?

Well, I mainly want the ricochet for tuning purposes. A friend of mine always plays goofy tunings and I hate tuning the guitars to match. This would let me just hit a switch and be in his tuning, and vise versa. I do want to experiment with have the 2 pitch shifters though too. The octaver on the fly rig is just a bonus for me. I mainly want it for the SansAmp + Chorus + Boost + Compression.

what do you think of the fly rig so far?

The main video they have of it from Tech21 makes it sound awesome. Most of the gear for this pedal-board hasn't been bought yet. I'm just planning it all out so I can buy it all at once and set it all up in a day.

I love how tiny it looks and according to TalkBass, the SansAmp VT is the circuitry they are putting inside, which has an Ampeg sort of tone.

oh, unpurchased as of yet... I am a real gear demo doubter.... everything sounds good in the demo video, but when I get to my local big box store I am more times than not underwhelmed... and there is a lot of stuff I own and love that sounds decent in its demo videos, but will blow your mind face to face whether you are using it on stage or recording in a serious studio environment

both the guitar and bass fly rigs are awfully tantalizing.... I was always rather fond of the sans amp VT when I've heard its DI sound, I don't know if they captured a portaflex or SVT, but it sounds very good.

I wonder if you'll get some crazy artifacts trying to use 2 or 3 pitch effects at once or if the modern digital circuits track so well now that they can work as a team.... I mean, to me the glitches of using all 3 would be an incentive to have all 3 on my board

that's if I weren't a purist with my dry signal, goddammit I am even warry of buffer coloration

It'll be fun to see what they do. My first test of accuracy is to down tune the Ricochet an octave, and use the Whammy an octave up. See if it sounds the way it does without the pedals. Then it's off to the races with funky whammy teamings. I wonder how high I can make a bass sound with those :)
