I recently upgraded my pedalboard from a Pedaltrain PT-JR to a PT-2 to make room for more effects and also spread things out a bit. I am really liking the new setup and bigger layout. I prefer to keep my Morley Dual Bass Wah (which I did not include in my last pedalboard picture post and do not want to neglect again) off of the board in order to save space but also because I prefer the feel of it right on the ground.

The next video demo post will revolve around my obsession with the sound of the fierce bear of a distortion known as the Heavy Electronics El Oso. It has been providing really excellent thick distorted tones that are really helping me come up with very interesting and wildly distorted musical ideas.

Following the Oso demo I plan to demo the Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master Delay Reverb. I haven’t seen much in the way of bass reviews for this pedal and am excited to demo some of the deep reverb space delay possibilities.

Most recently I acquired a new product from a company I’ve always loved, Pigtronix. They just released a bass-specific pedal line at Winter NAMM 2013, among which was a Bass Envelope Phaser pedal. This is meant to be a bass-friendly circuit emulating their widely popular (and much larger) standard EP-2 Envelope Phaser.

I love this pedal in all its the funky, warbly, throaty, submarine bubble popping goodness. It has excellent low end retention and handles slapping popping and light fingerstyle incredibly and with alot of range. This will definitely be among the next few video demos to come.

I want to say thanks to Mike and Dave up at Pigtronix for their help in processing my order for this. I have talked to Mike on the phone and he seems like a great guy who genuinely cares about the quality of the pedals they make at Pigtronix and the happiness and approval of the musicians their pedals are designed for. Thanks again for doing great work fellas!
