Man, I feel ya with the whole direct to the noble thing (not that I have one lol), but lately I just prefer my P into just nothing (clean DI). The pristine unaffected tone
Carson, this board looks awesome-super clean, really creative, and nicely routed, man. Thanks for walking us through it! I'm personally loving the addition of the Strymon Flint; it's such a cool option to have that vintage Reverb/Tremolo. But we didn't really hear anything about it! Maybe you could chat a bit about using reverb on bass?
Thanks a ton! Honestly, it may not stay on it for long. It is incredibly cool but I don't have a song in my current band's setlist that really needs that stylized of a reverb. It's perfect for that like... Twin Peaks meets pick bass sound. I definitely won't be selling it!
Nice board and well thought out. I actually have a Noble but swapped it out for my Ampeg SCR-DI. I was the touring bassist with the Motown group The Miracles for a few years and just needed that Ampeg tone. The Noble is a nice clean tone for other uses though, but in my opinion way overpriced for what you actually get out of it and I’d be scared to death of taking it on the road with those tubes. In the studio I’ll use my Acme DI box direct in more than the Noble as I play a lot of R&B sessions. But the Noble is the bright shiny thing right now so a lot of my fellow session pals are using it as do I on occasion. It does sound good. I use the Source Audio EQ2, C4 and Gemini running through a Disaster Area DMC MicroPro for pretty much unlimited EQ, filter, synth, phaser and flanger options. For an Octave I use the Seamoon Octatron (best I’ve heard and replaced my OC-2). Then Oceans 11 reverb which is rarely used but when you need it you need it.
As with all things, our tone is only as good as our FOH guy. Cool that you can mix all different saturation levels independently. Patiently awaiting my CAPO, trying not to count the days.
Amen. At least with this setup... I can just hand the FOH guy the dirty signal and give him a little less control over my sound as a whole. But when you get a guy who wants to really spend time on your tone together.... they get the full treatment 😊
I’m using the Eventide cioks larger PSU into a temple audio cioks extension. Then the noble gets IEC directly. I wish I had gone farther in to this, it was an oversight on my part.

Yeah! I’m trying to mimic that feeling with the noble.

Love the board bro! I really enjoyed your rundown. That BB sounds killer. Cheers
Thank you so much friend!
That board is probably worth more than my car ha
I know dude... I did just take out an insurance policy. It is also worth more than my car haha.
Great board!

Very cool! I am really hard on my Noble with lots of travel without issue. I have not babied it at all.
Amazing board. Super clean and thought through. I am now giging for such a long time and every year my board becomes smaller and I use lesser FX.
Thanks so much friend! Hilariously when I have a big board, I want a small one. When I have a small one, it's never enough. The cycle continues!
Grizzly is bae. It’s so versatile.
Right? It kills.

Hos are you powering this setup? Cioks?

Great video thanks! My board feels like a tiny mouse now 😂
