Thanks for sharing Nick! Ever thought about compressors both at the beginning and at the end of your signal chain? It’s what I do, optical one the beginning and boss bc1x at the end. Works soooo beautifully.

What tone are you trying to achieve by doing this?

@joehub13 Жыл бұрын

@@seanhickey1999 hi! 2 years ago… well, basically it’s to give it that optical compressor character at the beginning of the signal chain and tame dynamics at the end. What ever is thrown in the middle stays under control…

Hey Nick! So I'm looking to actually set up a rig similar to yours; but I have one glaring difficulty right now! I play a really hot active bass!!! what's the key to running a rig for active bass; beyond adjusting the levels on my bass constantly? My current headspace is to introduce a dB cut at the start of the signal chain, and am looking for something tonally transparent. But am open to any other ideas.

Get a Shure GLXD16, Nick...expensive but best tuner I've ever had and farewell cable. Any particular reason for the microtubes over the alpha-omega?

Thanks for sharing. Pulling the boss flanger for the ps3 phaser though? Unfortunate. Flanger was one of your best tones.

I was expecting the flanger to be the cheapest sounding but it ended up being my favorite. I'm probably going to get one now.

@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer Жыл бұрын

Boss pedals - especially the vintage ones - are far from "cheap" at least in terms of their sound and build quality. They are some of - and often _THE_ - best of what's available on the market. Furthermore, a large majority of fancy boutique pedals are quite simply clones of Boss circuits that may or may not have one or two minor additions or tweaks. There's good reason why many of the best players with the most discerning ears use Boss pedals and pay big money on the used market for older ones.

Nice pedalboard! Curious what made you decide to put your compressor at the end of the chain?

@BoomstickNick88 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question! To put it simply, it evens out the volumes of all the different pedals through the amp. One of my OC2s has really low volume, and my Swollen Pickle fuzz is way loud. This just evens everything out.

@MyBassistChris 4 жыл бұрын

@@BoomstickNick88 Ah I had a feeling it had to do with the drive pedals, makes sense. Interesting that the OC2 has low output volume. Thanks for the input! Kinda funny though because neither the OC2 or Swollen Pickle are on your board but I've seen them used on the channel lol

@Jihadbearzwithgunz 4 жыл бұрын

My only issue with running the comp after dirt is you increase the noise floor as well with compressing the pre amp section from the x7. I usually aim for unity gain from everything with the comp on early in the chain.

@mindbodylightsound10 4 жыл бұрын

@@Jihadbearzwithgunz My thoughts exactly. Kind of a rookie move having compressor at the end especially if you play w a lot of dirt. It also will squish modulation.

curious i new to board building I'l like to get something set up th play more rock top 40 bar music I recently pickup a Darkglass adam but not sure if that is going to help my situation or do you have an recommendation for a chain that might work well with the Darkglass Adam. Also with having the Adam more than likely this will be going into my Mesa Boogie Subway D800+ wich can act as a DI as well has a send and return and inputs. what would be my best options with this solution?

Nick Maffei :briefly skims your playlists: Yes. Yes I am. And to celebrate that, here’s my favorite groaner (“dad joke” as the kids say haha)... Guy walks into a library. He makes his way to the main desk where the head librarian is seated sorting books. He puts an elbow on the desk, leans in and whispers, “hi, uh, I’m looking for a book on um.. turtles?” “Hard cover?” she asks. “Yeah, yeah, and little heads.”

Have been watching a shite ton of filter vids and comparisons lately and the MXR filter has THE classic filter sound. It always was amongst the tops in sound comparisons. Awaiting a SA Spectrum on backorder at the moment. Incredible versatility and nails basically every popular filter tone. Love the board, playing and sounds. Great channel!
