how do you like the MXR? I've tried a few different bass compressors but I always go back to the Keeley Bassist. I haven't tried the MXR though…

I haunt really played it in the heat of battle yet but I it seems like its gonna do the job. I like the lights and the extra controls over the JHS Whitey Tighty I was using.

Current working man's board:
About as vanilla as it gets: very late 90s Boss tuner, mid 90s RAT2, and a late 80s DD3.
Stuff that I have owned and used for years and years. I got the DD3 very cheap in 92, I think, when everyone was into racks and multi fx. Got the RAT in maybe 95(?), and the tuner is probably from 98 or 99.

That’s the size of my band board these days. Two pedals and a Boss tuner.

What are your thoughts on the RE-20? One of the bands I was in ages ago had the real thing, but I found it rather noisy and difficult to use with guitar. Then I tried the Boss some years ago and really liked it, especially how you can add a bit of gain to the signal. I just couldn't justify buying one when I already have a DD-3 that I'm really happy with.

I love mine. Totally different feel and sound vs a DD3, which I also love and have right next to the space echo on this board. I also have the new RE-2 which is the compact-size boss space echo and it sounds great too and gets essentially the same sounds (though fewer features than the RE-20). You can see it on my most recent "small board" pic upthread.

About the only variable I might need to swap out depending is the Touch Wah.
If I really want more distortion I can throw a FuzzFace in the front.

What's the Booster/Preamp like? I've been looking for a very low-gain OD/preamp type of pedal that isn't as nasal and mid-focused as my old TS-9, and one that has even less gain. I really like the Tube Screamer for that '80s type of mainstream rock tone, but I'm getting more and more into surfier types of sounds.

Ive been thru several boosts, I tend to use them as a touch sensitive leave it on pedal. The Carr cranked to edge of breakup is usually louder than I want to play. Ive tried clean boosts(RC, EP, Chili Picoso,GE7) to various ODs with the gain turned down. My prefs seem to change depending on the guitar and genre, I have usually defaulted to a BD2 instead of a TS or BB. I also really like a DOD250, very touch sensitive, but its an edgier kind of gain with more of it when you dig in, very dynamic.
The BP1-w seems to kinda split the diff between a low gain OD and a clean boost. So far, I prefer the Space Echo setting along with the darker sounding vintage buffer. But the SE/uncolored/CE switch combined with the 2 buffer settings give you a lot of options.

I’ve been working it out with this board into two amps for the past few days. Fun stuff!

Big board pretty much done. Just a little cleanup left with the cabling, and possibly a RAT or similar in place of the Fat Cat.
Can pretty much do anything I'll ever need with this setup.

My most recent “Flyrig”.
The Kemper Profile Player is loaded with all of the Profiles from my Kemper Stage. The Germanium Tumnus is pre-profiler and clean solo boost is on the output to amp or board.
The expression pedal morphs between different functions per Profile… some will ramp up the gain and delay mix, some I have a wah on.

Hey, curious as to how you make the Tumnus work with that. I tried my Beano boost with the Kemper I had and that just sounded awful, as I would have digital clipping going into it due to the 20+ dB boost going into it.
And it being Germanium I couldn't place in the fx loop section because of the buffer.

I use the Tumnus set just a tick past noon along with Matchless or Marshall profiles at low to medium gain. I’m sure if I stacked it on a full tilt Soldano or such it might sound too crispy or muddy.

This morning I went back and built another starship for the music room. Since I have indentical “big” boards and power supplies I figured why not. I can always slap together something simple if I leave the house.
I put a large selection of my fav drives along w fuzz, comp, QTron, and P90. Then put delays and crazy stuff on the 2nd board. I split the signal after the Collider and looper and just ran the more ambient stuff thru the Marshall, but still have a basic one amp sound into the Carr. Boss GE7 is mostly on there for the buffer. But after thinking about it I may put the DM2w in its place, then the Freeze, collider, looper, then split and put another crazy pedal where the DM2w is now.

Im going back to the old SF Bassman head/Weber Cali 15" for my wet/dry set up. Just not digging the Marshall, at least when pared with the Carr. The Bassman has a more similar tone to the Carr and just sounds fuller, bigger, and richer than the Marshall.
I got the Marshall rig just cause I'd never owned one and wanted to hear/feel what it was all about for myself. It was fun for a bit but Ive never really jelled with it. Maybe I shoulda got a more vintage voiced model, or maybe I need better/different speakers, or maybe Im just not a Marshall kinda guy, idk.
