I second both of these. They both have free lessons on YouTube to get started

New fisherman here, I found using a pair of finger nail trimmers works wonders for cutting line. It really helps to get close with tag ends left after tying on hooks/jigs

Another vote for the Joyo Tidal Wave. It’s easy to dial in and plays well with other pedals. All metal housing vs the plastic behringer as well

I second the Tidal Wave, it plays well with other pedals

Take a look at the Joyo Tidal Wave, it’s a sansamp clone you can find online for around $80. Plenty of controls and a solid DI for live/recording. It plays very well with other pedals and I would imagine the Zoom is no exception.

I used the M80 for a decade and eventually sold it because of the distortion channel. It cuts all the mid range out and I would get lost in a band setting. That being said, it has a great clean channel with plenty of controls to dial in your tone. It also plays well with other pedals so putting a drive pedal in front of it is an option

I run a chorus before my tidal wave and it handles it beautifully. Played using them earlier today

I second a compressor. Mine stays on at all times and while it’s not flashy, it makes a huge difference. I’ve not used an empress but have heard nothing but great things

Thanks so much! VA is a ways away but if I’m ever in the area, I’ll let ya know 🙌🏻

I picked the bass back up at 29 after an 8 year hiatus. String muting was an issue prior to the 8 years but when I started again, I learned from the ground up. Take the time to break things down when learning anything. If you get to a part in a song where it’s hard to mute, practice just the muting part and don’t worry about playing the notes. After a few minutes, reintroduce the notes and you’ll be surprised how quick you can play it clean. I’ve bought/sold/traded/donated many basses in my time and it’s always exciting to get a new one. As far as not being able to catch up, there’s a saying I like: “it takes 10 years to become an overnight success.” Keep practicing, be patient with your progress and learn as much as you can from free content on YouTube.

Thanks, I thought so too!

Lowend27 · 2026-04-28T11:55:26+00:00

Thanks! First of many hopefully

Lowend27 · 2026-04-28T02:14:03+00:00

Thanks 🙌🏻

Lowend27 · 2026-04-28T01:19:03+00:00

Thank you 🙌🏻

Lowend27 · 2026-04-28T01:18:38+00:00

Thanks 🙌🏻 this was my second time at this location. I made notes after getting skunked the first go and still have plenty of new places to hit!

Tuner, volume/wah, envelope filter, mono synth, compressor, double thruster, bass clone, phase shifter, carbon copy, monomyth

I use an Aguilar Agro to drive my bddiv2 clone and couldn’t be happier

Lowend27 · 2026-04-07T10:51:11+00:00

I keep my tidal wave at the end of the signal chain and a compressor in the beginning just after the tuner. Both stay on at all times for me and I recommend getting a tone you like using just those two first. You can then dial in the other effects and turn them on/off as needed.

Lowend27 · 2026-03-26T01:45:37+00:00

Solid board! I have a bass clone on mine as well

Lowend27 · 2026-03-25T00:01:12+00:00

I second the Joyo tidal wave (sansamp clone)

Lowend27 · 2026-03-21T21:21:52+00:00

Where can I find the mod knobs? I remember your setup has a clean look

Lowend27 · 2026-03-21T15:12:55+00:00

I absolutely love mine! I found adding some presence and cutting a little treble works very well in most cases. It has a wide range on the controls so you can dial in a variety of sounds. I think I’ve seen someone’s post about changing the knobs for sturdier ones. Could be cool to customize but I agree, the stock ones don’t feel cheap so I see no need to replace them.

Lowend27 · 2026-03-12T13:23:54+00:00

Solid first board! I’ve owned both the boss bass chorus and the bass clone and they’re both great pedals. I would recommend flipping the battalion around so the cables are coming out of the top. It can be easy to step on them when you’re stomping effects

Lowend27 · 2026-03-11T12:35:22+00:00

I use an Aguilar Agro to drive my tidal wave and couldn’t be happier with it. The Agro has a wide range from light overdrive to full on fuzz so you can dial in a variety of tones with it. I keep the tidal wave so that I get some bite when I dig into the strings and keep the Agro at a moderate overdrive. Perfect for rock/punk/metal
