Big Muff Board - complete

[eclecticsynergy]

An all-Muff big board! Cool. They don't have buffers, though. With so many of' em, does it sound a wee bit...Muffled?

Ummm....it’s kinda modular, and mood dependent.
Cabs: Kustom 2x15 with Weber bass speakers, Peavey 4x10, Peavey 1x15, Tube Works 1x15(used to be a combo amp, but the head section blown by my bass player, on a loaner gig).
Heads: 68 Kustom K200A, 73 Kustom 250-2, TC Electronic BH250, Orange Tiny Terror(yep, the guitar head....don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it...one of my favorite practice rigs), several random power amps to choose from fed by a UA 6176.
But, most common rigs:

This pedal board pic(above) is a bit dated...the Silencer pedal has been replaced by a Boss NS-2. Also the Flashback delay is mostly used for its looper function(for writing/jamming purposes).View attachment 51596View attachment 51597View attachment 51598
In the last pic, on the right hand side, you can see the Tiny Terror sitting on the Tube Works 1x15. It’s really a quick and dirty little practice rig.
I’m not much of a bassist though...I do like to write songs, and bass is an important part to play in rock/metal/stoner etc.

Awesome! I love that Peavey bass. Does the Sub 'n' Up go down two full octaves below the bass?

I'm runnin' with a Hartke 3500 350Watt hybrid rackmount amp (it has both tube and solid state pre-amp, SS power). Peavey (USA) 1*18 2*10 Black Widow cab with 18" BW & 2 10" Carvin drivers, Hartke (USA) XT Series 4.5 Bass Module with 1 5" & 4 10" aluminum cone drivers. I have some other cabs/speakers I use with a powered mixer and my looping recorder [BOSS RC-50], but the Peavey & Hartke are my core bass rig. For effects I have a Line6 Bass POD Pro rackmount processor with Floorboard controller & a BOSS RSD-10 rackmount Delay. A Hartke Bass Attack VXL PreAmp/DI is my only "bass" stompbox but, I have plenty of drives to choose from with my guitar stuff if I want.
Guitars: Gibson EB-4, Yamaha RBX170, Samick Abilene P-bass copy, & a Steinberger copy by Arbor that a previous owner pulled the frets and filled in the slots to make it a fretless.

The whole thing takes up one loop of a loop switcher that is buffered pre and post. So no signal loss problems.

Yes...two octaves down, and one octave up....I don’t use it much for fear of speaker damage....

You’ve got a pile of sweet boom-stick joy going on there, by the look of things! A Deluxe Bass Muff would do well in that setup....if you are into that sort of thing.

That settles it. I guess it's Bass Big Muff time.

If you have a RAT pedal kicking around, and you like Stoner Doom at all, try it out and don’t be shy with the knob tweaking....I was floored by what my homebrew brought to the bass table.
