Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

[Benn Roe]

New board for a band I'm trying to get started. It's for a baritone into both a guitar amp (bottom row) and bass amp (top row). Been very casually collecting pedals for this one for a five or six years, and finally wrapped it all up.

is that a Fromel pedal top left?
and whats the red one bottom row?

[dubkitty]

stereo outputs on the baritone, or some kind of crossover?

The top left is an octave fuzz built by dminner, that I picked up direct back in 2018. The red one is a Mother Tongue from Adventure Audio (#7!)... I think it was the last pedal they released before calling it quits. That's the one pedal I'm not 100% sure about yet (I haven't even velcro'ed it down). I bought it brand new when they released it, and just left it in-box until I was ready for this band, but it was more of a FOMO purchase, and it's very much outside my comfort zone in terms of the sorts of effects I'm used to writing around.

stereo outputs on the baritone, or some kind of crossover?

I'm just using the ABY switch, bottom right corner of the top row. The signal chain is:

baritone > Turbo Tuner ST-300 > ABY >
A: Condor > Mini > Ayahuasca > Tonal Recall RKM > Mother Tongue > Freqout > Ditto X4 > guitar amp
B: Accountant > Moment Machine > Subnup > Phantom Octave Fuzz > bass amp

when i get my baritone Jazzmaster conversion done it'll have a stereo output option because there's a pickup behind the bridge. becoming curious about options. i'll probably play in in mono mostly, though.

Moment machine! How do you use it?

(I must confess with mine, the main use has been a patch with a random walk that has a momentary random pitch shift on one step only, adds a glitchy-but-melodic blip to drones.)

[Benn Roe]

The plan is to use it to generate occasional "bass lines" that diverge from the signal going through the guitar amp. I'm hoping to use envelope assignments to allow my pick attack to trigger those step changes, but we'll see how capable I am of making that happen.

when i use a bass amp and guitar amp together i use a Rolls Tiny Two-Way crossover to split the signal somewhere around 400Hz. after i did a thing 2 years ago using the Ampeg and the Hammond head it sounded so good that i may never be able to go back to playing out through one amp again. my employer's biggest area of interest is car audio and i write about subwoofers, which is where i got the crossover idea. that and John Cipollina's 60s stereo rig which used a Standel for the bass pickup and Fender heads for the bridge and a hilarious array of high-frequency horns on top.

I looked this up, and I'm not sure I really understand what it does. I don't have an especially technical understanding of this sort of thing. Can you explain it to me like I'm a child? I admit that I'm not super happy with the "bass" sound yet, so very eager to learn some tips and tricks. It seems well within the range of what I'd be willing to spend to make things sound better.

a crossover is an electronic device that splits the signal in two at an assigned frequency that is variable. it's widely used to send only deep bass to subwoofers in home and car applications, and also has sound reinforcement applications. if i set the crossover to 400 Hz, signal above that will go to one output and below that to the other. it's not a brickwall thing, rather, a certain amount of signal on either side will bleed through. think of it as akin to a high- or low-pass filter, but instead of filtering the signal it divides it in two. i wanted to have the sub-bass from the ring mod and octave divider in my loops go only to the bass amp because guitar amps don't like signal that low.
