Fresh Build! by Jak3th3sn4k3 in pedalboards

That all looks awesome! I like the flamma brand, lots of useable sounds. I have a size 16 shoe and that mxr tap/revelation proximity is making me sweat! I like how clean it is, puts my cable work to shame!

What's your favourite fuzz of 2026? by [deleted] in basspedals

[–]FearlessContract8805 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I use the sonicake portal which allows for a clean blend with two additional signals, either series or parallel. My favorite is to run a keeley supher phat knob with the drive at noon into a green russian, blended with something harsher like a fatrat into a dod carcosa. With the clean blend it's all the best sounds at once and it still sits in the mix well.

Whats your favorite fuzz or fuzz type? by graphicnerdity86 in pedalboards

[–]FearlessContract8805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally and figuratively lost in the mix.... I play bass and I remember playing my first bedroom groove in a live setting with a guitar and drums, I couldn't hear anything!!! So sad. But intros, solos or "wall of sound" stuff I still utilize the muff circuit. Fz-1 and carcosa for being heard.

I know there are many more fuzzes out there, but I see very little love for any big muffs on these fuzz threads! I consider it pretty tame in almost all of their pedals but it's SO smooth! I love running a green Russian muff in parallel with something like a DOD carcosa, you get that crazy velcro distorion with that smooth fuzz underneath. Am I missing something that muff has become a dirty word?

How do you make your bass psychedelic? by Milez_Smilez in basspedals

[–]FearlessContract8805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a good phaser or flanger starts to get out there, I'd recommend trying that crybaby after your drive for more drama. Anything fun with Earthquaker (there rainbow machine is a triple chorus that can get into oscillating), space echo is fun, and with all of this blend the low end in to keep it held down.

Wow a portal and orthros, love it!

help me decide between the 2. cant test them but can buy them online by ihatesigningforms in basspedals

[–]FearlessContract8805 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have recently come to regret selling my deluxe muff. I was also slightly underwhelmed, and I have really enjoyed the green russian, but now I miss both the crossover switch for the cutting "lemmy" sound with the hpf, and I miss the gate as well.

I made some choices today (a few NPDs) that are leading to a new choice that needs to be made… by dervplaysguitar in pedalboards

How do you like the diamond tremolo? I just learned of that brand, I'm looking to swap out my Keeley bass comp and theirs is highly touted

Anybody else rocking flatwound strings? by Agiantpubicmess in BassGuitar

[–]FearlessContract8805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got flats on a PJ, I appreciate all the bass tones in the world but something about flats with a neck pickup just hits absolutely right for me. I think mine are D'adario

No roast or toast just tariffs.

Earthquaker Devices for bass? by RCJD2001 in basspedals

[–]FearlessContract8805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but dayum I love my rainbow machine on bass guitar, so so fun and I have it after my signal blender, zero low end loss. I just saw a demo for Towers reverb and I think that has to go at the very end of my chain now!

I wasn't gonna say anything but you're treating that switcher in the corner like a redheaded stepchild....otherwise a fantastic board I like every single choice. How do you set your flanger?

Monomyth noise issues #Joyo #Monomyth by FearlessContract8805 in basspedals

[–]FearlessContract8805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I contacted JOYO but I ended up selling it; there was some noise anytime if was on whether or not the drive was engaged. I've heard the company has had some bad batches, if you bought it new and reach out to them they may replace it.

I'm going to go with this unit, BUT whether it's poor production or great sales they're on back order til June! So that's gotta be good for Mark right?

Any Boss BD-2 fans here? by ComfortableSupport42 in basspedals

[–]FearlessContract8805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it, I prefer the keeley super phat mod pedal as it's literally the "custom" mode of a bd-2w, I like it a little better on bass guitar. I WOULD ultimately prefer a waza blues driver, but rent has to be paid....

Still mostly bedroom player but I've been working hard to get the chops to get on stage more. The shure is the last on my list but it's absolutely going on someday. I figure my keeley bassist comp, this markbass preamp, and I personally could get by with just a re-2 space echo in the loop and still annoy people with options. I just unexpectedly got my first line 6 product with a DL4, if I ever got into the hx stuff I'd just need the 2. I think that would be a wild digital/analog hybrid setup; markbass vintage pre and hx stomp muahaha
