Designing the Smallest Bass Pedalboard Possible Janek Gwizdala Podcast
-
- Music Commentary
The time has finally come to build the smallest bass pedalboard possible as I need something to stash in my checked luggage for a trip to Morocco in a couple of weeks with The Brecker Brothers Reunion Band.
I'll be using the HX Stomp as the brains of the board, but the other pedals that will accompany it are still a mystery right now. I'd love to have a DI and maybe an octave pedal, but beyond that I'm at the drawing board playing Tetris with a mini Mono board and Tick 2.0.
This latest miniature venture has me highly motivated to finish the new HX Stomp preset pack I promised a couple of months ago. I'm going to be recreating some of the classic Brecker Brothers bass sounds of Will Lee from those original records in the 70’s, and will do my best to get that Mu-Tron sound on “Sponge”, and maybe a little chorus here and there?
More than anything I need that in-your-face fatness that those records captured, so pre-amp and EQ will be a big help with that.
More soon!

P.S. Now I’m home and off the road for a couple of weeks, we have a ton of physical books in the store ready to be signed and shipped out worldwide!
