The Boss OC-3 octave is an excellent bass pedal... It's polyphonic, tracks really well, and has a dedicated bass input. My favorite part is, you can dial in the range. I set mine so that only the B & E strings (5 stringer, here) will trigger it, leaving the high notes clean & giving the low notes some boom. Great for reggae, funk, or any time you want booming, in-your-face bass.
Edit: Noticed quite a few of the "don't need pedals/picks are bad" crowd putting you down in the comments... Remember, kids, putting someone down for playing "wrong" (ie differently) is a sure sign of insecurity. Do what YOU like. Don't listen to the "purists," they're too busy kissing up to Davie 504 & sounding like everyone else to have fun (or say anything worthwhile). The electric bass is less than 100 years old, let's find out what it CAN do, rather than arbitrarily decide what everyone else shouldn't.
Holy crap, my edit turned out longer than my original comment... Great video, keep up the sonic experimentation!
Total noob question-
I use an Ampeg PF500, it has inputs for an FX loop. When I gig, if I wanted to go DI- would I just plug into my pedalboard and then go DI from the amp? Or would I want a separate DI box on the board that would do to the PA mixer from there? Also- should I use the FX loop for the board? Sorry if this is too general just no clue
@@mattfrischman2508Separate DI is way lighter than using amp. Lots of generic ones out there from radial that work great and aren’t a ton of money
One of the best bass pedal board demos i've seen - thanks. Great playing too BTW
Actually your bass by itself without any effects, sounds awesome.
More power to you, Chris! Been a fan ever since discovering your covers here on CZcams. So glad too that you explained how some pedals work which got me scratching my head the first time I heard about it. :)
Man those deluxe P basses always sound killer with the PJ combo. Great demo!
This is a really cool demo of some great sounding pedals. Nicely done, sir. Thanks for this.
Seriously thank you for the explanation of each one. It really helps. You have some sick pedals gives me an idea what I wanna use on my Bass 👍
Love the Aguilar Agro bass distortion. Really good vid. Thanks Chris!
Sans Amp really improves the bass sound.
Your understanding of how compressors work is astounding.
Dude I'm so stoked you came out with this. Now I know which pedals to get :D thanks!!!
Out of those, the chromatic tuner sounded best.
Your correct and the mxr compressor and the rest i dont know...hahha
No love for the noise reducer?
Maaan this gave me a good chuckle. Thanks... And agreed.
Where are your videos?
That was a bit judgmental on a subject that’s very subjective!
I have the SansAmp & love it. I also liked the harmonizer.
Thanks for the run-through of the board!
oh man! great demo, killer tone! you have really good taste in pedals and... just made me discover the Soundblox... DAMN. I thought I was done with gear and... there ya go! rock on Chris, happy new year!!!
2:00 "it's also really good for, uh, slapping, which I don't do..."
2:06 [pretty good...]
6:44 [kills it...]
Nice demo - thanks. Enjoyed the walk through of the Harmonist especially. Nice comparative run down of all the pedals with the Sans Amp too.
Right?!? 😂
Thank you for this. I have been playing my bass naked for a while now. I was looking to dress it up with some effect pedals. The only things I was looking at was compression and chorus. But now seeing some of these possibilities I have some new ideas. I have a way huge swollen pickle for my guitar I will have to give it a try.
Compression and chorus are the 2 I use the most. I also have a distortion which isn't very good for most music i do. I have a octave effect too, but it burns through batteries too fast.
@@jaminjef get a power supply
I could do that. I just don't like adding more wire clutter on stage. I might look into the all in one pedals like roland or zoom.
@@Jacob-wb1kv I added a Joyo rechargeable power supply to my 6 pedal board. Holds a charge for a couple weeks. Just charge it at home btw gigs. Or even while in use. Few different brands out there.
Things for a newbie to bass pedals that'll make you seem like an expert: Keeley Bass Compressor, MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe, Mini POG, and just find a distortion or fuzz that suits your tastes. I personally don't love the swollen pickle as much as the wren and cuff pickle pie.
The sansamp is the secret sauce that makes your tone really shines.
I've been trying to find this video for so long. I watched it a few years back and remember how amazing your tone was!! Just ordered the Sansamp, Thanks for making me spend £220!!😂😂
Really enjoyed your video, thanks for that. Some great sounds you've got there and the Sansamp really makes a huge difference! I've just bough the Aguilar Tonehammer preamp/DI and I'm really happy with the difference it makes to my own tone. Next I'm hoping to add some more pedals to build my options. Thanks for sharing :-)
I like the boss harmonist in chorus and pitch dive modes. Thanks Chris!
Very interesting and informative. Those combos.. crazy good
TC makes a noise gate that you can customize certain frequencies to be suppressed more than others, it’s called the Sentry. Absolutely love it
Nice demo. Lots of tones that suit a bass player perfectly.
Man, you've got one helluva tone bank on this board!
Great video bruv, gold for a budding bassist and I am sure for advance players as well 🤘
Really helpful for me as I am in the process of building my pedal board
Keep bringing more such videos
You covered a lot of ground very well. You have several pedals I'm looking at buying and your demo of them makes me want to pursue purchacing them. Overall a great video man!! ✌😎🤘
The best bass pedal board video I've seen so far!
You caught me by surprise when you busted out Chapter Four during the harmonist demo. Freakin sick man! I havent heard that song in years
Great pedalboard! Aguilar Agro amazed me, sounds pretty nice. Reminds me of Sansamp overdriven tones.
This video just make me more way feel blessed, coz I just finally got my new sansamp programmable bass driver di, yahoo! Cant wait to get thoose other pedals. Sick pedals set!!
I'm so glad you posted this. I don't own any bass pedals and wasn't sure about the synth pedal but I'm pretty sure a synth, overdrive and that sansamp is all I need now. Awesome video.
***** holy hell that's an honor! Thank you so much! You're actually the reason I started doing covers!
Never thought of putting the Sansamp towards the end of my chain. Great idea!
I appreciate this video a lot! Also I was not expecting to hear old school A7X, but it made the video even better LOL
Yeahh men! When i heard him playing waking the fallen stuff i was like: mennn this dudes amazing, cmon mennn a nice set of pedals and also plays a7x, hes amazing
Hi Chris
Very well organized & helpful presentation.
Thank you.
Nice video, thanks for taking the time. Saves me the the time of going to the music store and bugging the staff to try pedals, making noise for hours while I decide.
Good stuff, infor and playing. I am going to get the hot hand and play around with my harmonist and some other pedals! Great playing!
Looking at Sweetwater, the only a Harmonist I see is the four-knob version. I’d like to find an 8 knob.
I’d sell my Aquilar TLC in a heartbeat
That harmonizer pedal when it drops the beat..🔥
NICE TONE WITH THE AGRO AND GREEN RHINO! WOW!
I wasn't going to watch the whole video. I stayed and watched the whole video. Nice board sounds, man.
Cool board! I have the MXR Fuzz as well. Thanks for sharing!
Loving the Green Rhino. Might have to invest sometime soon. And I'm mighty jealous of your pedalboard dude haha
+Chris Khalife They're both wicked pedals, just way out of my price range at the moment haha. Have you tried the Green Rhino with a guitar? If so, how does it sound?
+Chris Khalife thanks for take time to make the video. bro how did you install the behringer pedal on the pedal board?, it have a black flexible base, how did you install the velcro on the behringer noise reduction pedal? please, thanks by your help. Im preparing my own pedalboard and I have behringer pedals too.
Its been 2 years. You still play the bass?
Such a thick tone, so good
That Sans Amp; gonna have to check into that in the future! Nice pedal board set up bro!👍
great man!!!!!!!! congratulations!!!!amazing setup!!
That Aguilar Agro is a beast. Nice pedalboard and review.
Digging the Tech 21 Sans Amp, and in combo with other fx. It really brings out the tone.
The Digitech is one of the best bass pedals ever made.
Digitech makes some of the best pedals period, they’re so Underrated and unknown considering their technology’s abilities
De acuerdo contigo ese pedal aún lo conservo y es de mis favoritos, con el tiempo he visto que su precio a aumentado más del doble de lo que costaba. 😮
@@juanescobar6086yeah but now because of JHS, they all have risen in price
I just plugged my bass into my rhino last night just to see what it sounded like and, it sounded amazing, going on my bass pedal board now.
Sounds amazing! 👍🏻
Usually when I see a million pedals my expectations aren't very high. However. All this stuff sounds surprisingly excellent. As of now all I want is a.) mounted tuner b.) Compressor c.) Chorus. However after watching this that bass synthesizer would sound incredible for some of the bass lines I play and continue to learn. Long winded way of saying well played sir.
Wonderful! Thank you Chris.
Great demo for the bass pedals you have demo, dude. You really rock it out, man! Thanks for the demo, dude. Man, I hope I could buy a simple bass pedal, which is a fender downtown express bass pedal, built with conpressor, overdrive and equalizer. Truth is I live in Philippines and I couldn't buy one because some guitar stores who sells are expensive. But anyway, keep it up, man. 😊
12:01 Dude... Sell one of your overdrives to buy a good cables... You'll hear an instant difference in clarity.
thats what i was thinking
What cables do you recommend? Monster?
@לילה טוב What about Hosa
Check out Monoprice online for premium cables at discount prices. Seriously, they have good stuff cheap!
Awesome sounds ...nice bass work
Great video as always. :)
awesome demo bro i think i like more the sound with the compression , thumbs up you have a great gear
That Bass Synth Pedal is Fire! I'm sure if I like it with the Sans Pedal though.
*not sure
Bass big muff does what you were describing with the bass fuzz deluxe. Flip the bass muff to the dry setting, the volume knob then becomes a blend knob between dry and wet
Finally a bass vid with a new set of strings on the bass. Now I'll get a compression pedal to go along with my sweet sounding MXR M80. Those are the only 2 pedals I'd ever need. The M80 on it's own is amazing but a compressor would make a huge difference because I'm a rock player and I use a pick most of the time. Try an M80 with the gain set to zero and blend around 2 o'clock. It'll keep the clean bass notes with a little grind separate and behind it. Sounds awesome. Not sure why I stay away from the sansamp. I've used one recording and loved it. After this vid though, I might need to add it. Thanks, very good vid.
Woah, that Sound Blox unit is badass. Need to get one of those. And I have those same socks.
Some good sounds man!
That Green Rhino is a beast!
Thx good review, great job, Chris!
You have a really good tone!
Tap Out (Strokes)! 😱
Awesome cover man! I did not know you were CZcams famous. 😅😜
great demo. great bass sound.
The Tech 21 sansamp is also my favorite pedal on my board and always with me wherever I play. You have it at the end of the signal chain. Does it work better there than if you'd put at the beginning?
Great video dude!!!!!!
That's wonderful 🔥
great demo!
You don't slap but that brief little slap you did makes a whole lot of impression.. Fender has the best slap tone..I really loved the slap/pop tone of your bass. And you grooved it..
Great set!
Some great tones and nice chops. The Green Rhino is the big stand out to me. I know everyone has different tastes, but It impresses me more than the Pork Loin.
That green rhino sounds so good with my god is the sun
Great board! Well presented too - subbed. :)
You've got some awesome pedals there. I love the MXR compressor and the Harmonist. I'd say that there's a much better noise gate than the Behringer one, the BOSS NS-2 I have it, it's amazing - you can get one for £65 or so
Nice video this. I got a sansamp after I was lucky enough to have a chat with Craig from Sick of it All about his tone a few years back and it's an amazing piece of kit. On the behringer, I took a chance on one of their tuning pedals a while ago and had the same issues with build quality, the 1st one was DOA and the 2nd the cables wouldn't stay in, they're horrendous.
Great demo. Thanks. May I ask how your bass was set up? Both PUs 50/50 or just the split coil?
Great info. Thanks!
Tuner, aguilar, samsamp, and compressor sounds legit and good. Nevermind the other pedals.
You really should put your overdrive, distortion or anything that adds gain in the front of the chain and then the compressor and lastly any type of modulation effects you’re using. It really does make a difference in the tone, frequencies and the modulation and pitch bending effects are not being corrupted by the excessive gain when they’re used together. Just a little something that I learned from someone else along the way and it’s pretty standard practice so I’m not trying to take credit for the knowledge, or be a know it all, rather just passing it along in hopes that it will be useful for you as well. Great video and demonstration! I have 5 of those exact pedals on my board and I would recommend them to anyone in a second 👌
Loved your main preset on the sansamp (middle one)! What were the settings?
Awesome video and pedalboard!! What settings do you have on your middle preset for the sansamp, it sounds incredible!!
Omfg when you started playing Chapter four. I haven't heard that song in years
The green rhino 👌👌
Great video ! I’m starting my first pedal board soon . That sansamp really gives back the bass to everything! Do you use it as a DI as well?
Nice demo!
looooove that hamonist pedal :0 such a cool sound
Great demo! Very cool sounds, but I really wonder how useful all of this will be when playing out. I'll take the tuner, Tech 21 and the compressor. The other stuff is cool, but not very useful- for me.
What setting do you use on the middle of your Sansamp? Sounds awesome!
WOW, the green rhino sounds really fucking great.
Omg! This is amazing :D Thanks for make this video, now i want at least one of these :3, i hope one day i can play just like you. :'D
Sorry for my english.
Saludos from Mexico :D
Awesome video thanks!
The aguilar + DI sounds cool. Just like the alpha omega by darkglass electronic
Really did enjoy your pedalboard tour Chris.A question, what were your six settings on Channel 2 of the Sansamp?Thanks
Great video, man. What pedal could I get that would get me a sound close to what you hear from the band Rise Against?
i really love the sound you produce with the agro and thee green rhino stacked. is it the agro before the rhino?
So great board! Just wanted to know what would be the next pedal board to purchase after the tuner and compressor? I play on church and trying to get the best gear possible
How much for just the board mate? Where’s your hardcase like?
Cool board. I'm currently building mine up. Going for that muse sound. 2 big muffs, octave and all that fun stuff. If you want to retain the low end with the drive pedals I'd recommend getting a Boss LS-2 :)
Got a video?
I have 2 favorite pedals, the mxr bass fuzz deluxe and the harmonist. Great Hysteria tone and Don’t Stop Believin’ tone. I love the songs Hysteria and Don’t Stop Believin’.
Hysteria: 9:49
Don’t Stop Believin’: 12:43
