    Sometimes our pedals boards are built to dial in that perfect tone.  Other times we try our hardest to destroy it.  In both cases we have tons of fun!  This week’s Show Me Your Pedalboard is brought to you by Jacob (Justin-my mistake!), and a pretty systematic destruction of his bass signal.

    SMYP Jacob

    Justin’s Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass starts its run through a Boss TU-2 tuner, and jumps straight into another Boss: the PS-5 Super Shifter.  Because, why not throw some wild modulation in the front end?  Before things get too out of control, a Boss CS-2 (a personal fav of PedalsAndEffects) comes in to save the day just in time to hit an EHX Micro POG, for all of your polyphonic octivizing needs.  Once the octaves are all in place, it seems now is as good a time as ever to throw in some distortion with another EHX: a classic Sovtek Big Muff.  But if there was any hope in a contained and safe signal, it’s all lost in the maze of an Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine.  And all this new found pitch-shifting chaos paves the way for a slippery slope into another Earthquaker Device: this time, an Arpanoid.  Take a moment and try to imagine taking all that pitch shifted, octavized, distorted, and more pitch-shifted bass, and then arpeggiating it.  Good to go?  Me neither.  But moving on anyway: the signal gets repeated a few times with a Digitech Digidelay while splitting into stereo.  Lastly, the stereo signals are fed into a Boss PN-2 for some tremolo; but not for volume tremolo.  Of course not: that would be too obvious.  Justin uses its pan mode to bounce the stereo bass signals across two separate amps.  Wild.

     

    And for good measure, below is a picture of Justin’s custom black lit Line 6 DL4:

    Thanks, Justin, for sharing a visual of all your sonic chaos with us.  Glad we had a slot for you this week!  If you haven’t sent a picture of your pedalboard to us yet email us at juan@pedalsandeffects.com!

    Hey!! thats mine! wooo!! got my name wrong though, its Justin. I don’t think P&E is a big fan of my set up, ha! I have the ps-5 in front because I mostly use it for the 2 octave up shift and it is just too intense coming after the cs-2. I’ve set up the rest of the pedals a bunch of different ways but this way serves me the best, for now. I’d love some feed back. I obviously play some pretty unorthodox bass. Take care. Thanks for posting my board! – Justin

    this pedal board is sick! I love how it has no respect for traditional bass tones. It’s nice to see a kid who’s not trying to sound like everyone else and is going for it! Balls to the wall! Keep it up Jacob! and Juan you’re the man! keep shredding.

    My mind is unable to properly comprehend the amount of absolute sonic annihilation that this rig is capable of generating. Bass players everywhere take heed- Jacob is here to blow you away with subfrequency blitzkreig! It doesn’t get much realer than this. Throw in that Geddy Lee fender and you may as well find yourself a skin graft cause this kid is gonna blow your face off!!!!

    Demos of the pedal board need to come with these posts. Every time I see these I always want to hear how they sound. This one has to sound crazy, but in a good way.

    If you guys wanna hear this board in action, check out my band, Divola. Our last ep, “Reapers”, uses this set up pretty much, except for the micro pog, line 6 or the arpanoid (which I had just got but there is a little taste at the very end). I use those more for live situations though. Divola is all bass, drums and moog. No guitar in this band. Check it out!
