Pedalboard Strip-down

 

Now that I am jamming fretless acoustic-electric, which has a built-in pre-amp which includes a reverb, I dropped all the external electronic signal modifiers. Owl-man now son the first is reigning bass for a couple of bands, so I took most useful for the pedals and assembled a mini-board for him.

Going from left to right...

MORLEY 20/20 VOLUME PLUS. Again, there is a footswitch activates adjustable minimum volume setting, so you can't accidently step on the pedal too hard and die off.

ELECTRO-HARMONIX DELUXE BIG MUFF PI pitched by Tony Levin. The Big Muff is the first pedal I bought just for bass. Super versatile from growly fuzz to tight overdrive.

BOSS OCTAVE OC-5. Deep synth-like bass, also an organ-like tone.

TC ELECTRONIC POLYTUNE 3 MINI. Also works as a kill switch when tuning is activated. Incredibly accurate and visible but cost a butt ton of dough for a tuner.
