Ernie Ball 10 Ft. Straight/Angle Instrument Cable

Immense!
This pedal is incredible! Running a bi/amp bass rig creates exactly the monster tones I’ve been searching for all year!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Split the signal at 144Hz. The lows are unprocessed, on path A skipping everything until the merge. Path B goes through a Clawthorn Drive into an Orange AD200 bass amp, 8x10 cab. Merge, mix, and go through a compressor .

Electro-Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer
Avg price: $140.22
Great for solo acoustic shows
This pedal really adds a different texture to the live guitar sound that removes the need for MIDI triggers. There’s no control over the tone and timing the for switch takes a little practice, but that’s manageable. Give us a deluxe version and I’ll be buying it straight away! However, this US such an incredible utility pedal that everyone should have one!

Darkglass Electronics Microtubes B1K Distortion Mini Pedal
Avg price: $198.87
Deceptively wonderful
Hearing the pedal pressure a mix sounds pretty bad, but in a mix it really works! I highly recommend!
Fender Engine Room LVL5 Power Supply
Avg price: $156.44
Solid and works
This power supply just works. It comes with a silly amount of connections so you’ll always be able to power every pedal.
Having 500 mA per socket is great as it powers pretty much every pedal on current.
The downside is no 18v socket.
Darkglass Electronics Hyper Luminal Hybrid Compressor
Avg price: $311.22
A real workhorse!
The option to choose the type of compression you apply is fantastic! The tone is wonderful and the build quality is exceptional. Truly a fantastic compressor!
I wish it had USB C as the current version needs a really good quality cable to work.
I wish it had a bottom switch like the B1K instead of needing software to change mode as guitar only sounds good with guitar and bass only sound good with bass. Meeting a computer to flip between them is a pain.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
FET mode. Using the software I’ve telling the attack and release to match that of Cali 76 bass compressor. I set the knob to fill clockwise, so 5.1ms attack, 73 ma release. Disk back the effect with the blend knob, around 3 o’clock for me. Ratio at 4:1 (first light), input to 2 or 3 lights, output to unit gain when I’m hammering on the loudest parts of a song.
EBS PG-10 Premium Gold Flat Patch Cable (3 Pack) - 3.94 inches
Avg price: $15.59
Perfect
These are the perfect pedal boards cable. They work great and have such a small profile I never worry about them getting in the way of my setup.
