Why Should Rhett Shull & DRH Have All The Fun? | Vertex Pedalboards for Bass

[@ingreynelg]

Very thorough walkthrough. It is obvious you know your gear which is something today’s pedal consumers (myself included) forget before getting a new piece of equipment. Loved the jam section, at first glance I didn’t get the loops but you made those loops be something very musical. Enjoyed it a lot.

[@alexm.3098]

That was the best, most enjoyable as well as useful bass gear video I’ve seen in quite a while. One that does not gives you GAS attack for a new piece of gear but rather makes you think about your current board, what sounds you want to achieve, and how you board fits that objective. Gear for a purpose, not for itself.

Here’s a thing.... I know we always feel like our boards are somehow not quite done yet, still a little “Frankenstein “, I have had a revelation here which has helped me to stop beating myself up about not having the perfect finished ultimate board for me....so here’s the thought I had ... consider your clothes...I get dressed every day and don’t feel the need to look perfect, I don’t have some sense that there’s a perfect look for me that I must always strive for....perhaps that’s why I always look such a mess... love the board and the sounds you conjure from it👍🎸🇬🇧

Best bass board video out there. Thanks for sharing!

[@raichoo]

Finally more content! Just as I was working on the solo for "Light Years" :D. I hope this will get the views it deserves. Been binging your channel for months now, really is helping me through this pandemic. Take care!

[@yuichituba]

I'm working on "Light Years" as well! I haven't worked out the improv yet though. It's kicking my butt!

[@raichoo]

@@yuichituba Same here. I've been approaching this very slowly, one bar at a time. This will take a while… or two. The sound has really grown on me though.

EYYY HE'S FINALLY GOT A PEDALBOARD VIDEO. GREAT VIDEO BTW

[@charliebigred]

One of your best videos in a while. Love it

[@Rustinho]

I've got a Boss ME-50B and it's an absolute hoot to play around with, experimenting with all the different sounds.

Mason is the real deal 🔌🎛🎚🎛🎛🎸📻

As always...inspiring jamming my brother. Keep on keeping on. Excellent video.

[@rm_ohlsen3587]

What a stunning board 🔥 Beautiful sounds janek!

[@keziahj]

Very beautiful, informative and inspiring video - thanks a lot!!

[@Antonio-qf3ez]

great , a new way for the jazz evolution. thanks

[@FretboardVisualization]

Janek, killer set up and video! You should experiment with using the HX Stomp effects loop for blending in the Ottobit. You can put an "always-on" FX loop block in every patch, so it will feel like the pedal is in-line like you have it now. You can blend the pedal and dry signal easily with the HX, which can also be assigned to an expression pedal or small potentiometer in an enclosure.

[@janekgwizdala]

Was one of the first things I tried to try and maximize real estate, but there's a digital/analogue conversion issue with the effects loop of the stomp, and so far no one is talking about fixing it. It effects the natural sound of the bass in a big way unfortunately, so it's an amazing option in theory, but currently unusable.

[@FretboardVisualization]

@@janekgwizdala wow that is a big problem. I have noticed a slight drop in volume in the FX loop, but not quality loss. I always thought that it was just my old OC-2 in the chain. I just use make up gain on the return, which brought the level back to even.

[@janekgwizdala]

@@FretboardVisualization Yeah, it's much more than a volume issue. It completely changes the EQ of the natural sound of the bass. Big issue. I'm amazed that NO ONE has complained about it, and got line6 to make a push to fix the issue. Maybe it's less noticeable with guitarists? and that's the predominant user of the unit? I don't know.

[@FretboardVisualization]

​@@janekgwizdala This is good info. I better check my patches again. Thanks!

[@maxschrothbass]

Really love the Chase Bliss stuff!

Sounds amazing!

What a fantasic sound👍

Great soundz!!😃😃👍👍

[@bassmonk2920]

Love this walk/play through...does the new XH-Stomp XL offer the same features as your model

[@janekgwizdala]

Yes, they're all identical.

[@celiomota7603]

Why placing a blur over the orange Iron Ether pedal?

[@djrea4815]

I know that the Line6 HX stomp XL can do a lot, but in a vacuum, do you think it does a better job of creating those pitch shifted synthy chords than the Eventide H9? Tracking wise, tone wise etc, and does one handle polyphony better than the other? Thanks.

[@janekgwizdala]

100% I've A/B tested them and could not tell the difference sonically. The only thing the H9 currently has over the Stomp in the harmonizer department is that it can do 4-note voicings that are harmony specific. You can build a voicing in C minor for instance, and dictate what scale it adheres to up and down the neck. While the Stomp does have some "smart harmony" options, it's not yet as robust harmonically. But the actual quality of the sound is incredible, and I use the Stomp for all harmonizer work now.

[@djrea4815]

Thanks Janek for your detailed response! Always appreciate your insights into the endless world of pedals.

[@stephenrance9152]

What make/model is the volume pedal? Hard to find good quality small ones. Thanks

[@janekgwizdala]

Jim Dunlop.

What make/model is your volume pedal? Hard to find decent quality small size. Thanks

[@stuartbradley3151]

That looks like a Dunlop DVP4 which is the mini size. There's the DVP3 (full size), DVP4 (Mini) and DVP5 (new mid-size that still fits across 2 rails on a Pedal Train - was actually developed alongside Pedal Train). All the models do volume and expression.

Who paid who? I’d love to know…

[@crapadopalese]

@@janekgwizdala You tell me, I'm just reading what the disclaimer at the beginning of the vid says 🤷 guessing it's there for a reason. When I click on that banner it gives me a KZbin page that says "Watching videos with paid product placements, sponsorships & endorsements" so I guess it's *you* that got paid?
