Two questions - First, does anyone use this with a double bass pedal? Any negatives stem from that? Also, can I add more pieces or is 9 the max?

The double bass didn't work well with the original sounds but when I upgraded the sounds to "more realistic" sounds from Alesis' website ($50) the double bass works great!

You can add another kick and cymbal. I play with double bass and it is very loud. It is truely a great kit though.

I threw my kick away after I killed 4 triggers. Double bass fits but it's not great. There are 12 ports so 11 is the max

I use the dw3000 double bass pedal on it . works ok. make sure you have a good amp for this you want good sound don't have a weak amp. the bass pedal to be honest I am still struggling to dial it in for my feel.I also have played with the sensitivity and threshold to dial in the action for not having ghost hits the set I love and probably the weakest link is the hit hat pedal but playing with the settings can get it almost feeling real on the open and close. overall for the money and to take up drumming I love it.

I use the speed cobra double pedal and it works great. Kinda like hitting a wall but you get used to it. I believe you can connect another module to it using the "midi in" input to add more pads. I enjoy this kit. Works great and very easy to customize your kit and sound. I normally run it into a vst program though.

all the drums are double trigger, head and rim. I hate hitting the rim by accident and triggering a chime, etc... so I bought splitters that split the stereo input into two mono inputs, and ended up nearly doubling the set. it was awesome until the tornado hit. I miss that set.

DW4000 on tightest spring - Kick Pad Mesh head must be unscrewed to as loose as possible. Then retighten the 4 screws evenly just a little about 1/4" turn until u can hear a kick thud on these settings. Send - 0 Crosstalk - 0 Retrigger - 10 - Threshold - 30 Sensitivity - 50 - Curve - Log 3. This will eliminate unnecessary double kick sound trigger when you stomp your pedal on one foot and also eliminate unnecessary kickback. Also take 2 strips of big width duct tape, Cut it nicely and paste it right where the beater will hit the mesh. This will reduce the air pressure that forces more kickback on the kick pad. I use these settings to play old Metallica, Pantera etc and it sounds awesome. DW4000 on tightest spring - Kick Pad Mesh head must be unscrewed to as loose as possible.

I play with a double bass pedal and haven't had any problems. Also there is only one more plug for an additional pad which I hope to use for another cymbal.

I use the speed cobras on them and they work just fine. They are pretty loud though. I did the mesh head conversion on all of the pads. The best thing you can possibly do for this kit trust me. But after doing the kick pad conversion, the pedals have a lot more kick back. Which can be a good thing or bad thing. It all depends on your preferences.

It will work perfect. I use mine with a couple of Boss pedals, some TC Electronics ones, Lone Wolf Blues Harp Break pedal for Harmonica and a Darkglass bass overdrive and It works great, not a single bit of noise or tone loss. Will work perfectly with any 9V pedal regarding of what company it is from (Is not exclusive for Boss)

I would be amazed if the DL-8 really needs 9.6VDC, like the power supply says the output is, I'm assuming the power supply you're referring to is the power supply you're "supposed" to use. I looked up the specs for the DL-8, you might have a different version, but it says the power supply is 9VDC, and the stompbox can use a 9V battery, so I would go for it. Your problem aside, putting 9VDC in a device that actually calls out for 9.6VDC will not hurt the device. If the "9.6" in your question is a typo, and you're just asking if the PB600 1.7A power supply will power your 3 pedals, the DL-8 draws 70ma, the MXR Phase 90 draws 5ma (don't know what MXR pedals you have)....the PB600 power supply delivers 1700ma, won't be any kind of problem. Remember, forget your power supply outputs and add up the current requirement of your devices (the current 'draw') to see how much current you need to provide.

Yes, it comes with two pedals but they're not very good. I get a lot of double bass drum sound when I know I only stepped on the pedal once. They aren't the best quality for sure, but to answer your question, yes it comes with two pedals. Nice little drum set too but I only used it a few times and put it away and never use it.

I have indeed tried this on my bass. I ran my Fender USA Jazz bass with flatwounds through my electric guitar pedalboard and out to my 1974 Musicman HD130 head through 2x10 cab at my church. Excellent crunch distortion. I was surprised actually. Worked great through compressor than AC Tone. Had a some great bite to the tone. I didn't want to buy another "just for bass" pedal and I'm glad I tried this one out first. Totally punchy and growly. It turns heads for sure. I also got some really great ambient lows (imagine long sustaining synths) with the combination of the AC Tone (took some fiddling to set to bass, as opposed to my electric), volume pedal for swells, through my delay pedals.. then later, my Strymon Blue Sky Reverb pedal (sometimes with the shimmer effect). Hope that helps. I don't think it was meant for bass necessarily, but it does the job for the one or two songs I needed.

As long as you use an adapter that meets the specs... I use the D'Addario regulated AC-DC adapter... 9V DC power supply... Tip negative and sleeve positive... 300 mA max... I can use it with another 9V pedal I use on my main rig... Even with the battery used the amp works well... it impressed me... Hope this helps...

It comes with the kick trigger for the bass pedal but if you're playing a double bass, you'll want to buy a good pad. I recommend the Roland kick pad.

I wouldn't use it for a pedal set up... This is an entry level pedal for beginners. It's made entirely of cheap plastic, now imagine yourself on stage in front of a bunch of people and stomping on this thing and having it shatter under foot. For a pro set up, think metal, don't buy anything that can't take a beating.

You can daisy chain a second kick pad if you wanted to use two single kick pedals. Now for an accessory cymbal, that you can't unless you want the bass drum to go off when you hit your crash. Hope this helps.

The pedal is a great addition. Let's you change settings with your foot! I believe it can be used for other things as well.

I am sorry but I cannot answer your question. I use mine for Bass and Guitar only.

I'm not sure about twin pedals since I'm not a user, but the response to fast single pedal is really good. I've tighten the kick head up and can bounce the single pedal if I ease off the pressure. You can get a quasi-double if you try.

I use the 600LC with braid trolling for bass with no problems so far. Set your drag right since there is very little stretch. I have a ten foot mono shock leader.On the 800 LC I use stainless wire and have caught plenty of bass and blues with no problemsGood luck

I use it with my bass as it is still an amp modeler, it's just not optimized for bass amps so much. That being said there are several amp and boxes and knobs to turn to lower the gain and distortion. Plus the several reverb effects you can use and just bypass everything else. If you play bass mostly, there are models optimized for bass, but this has been a jack of all trades for me, though I'm not all that advanced so I'm not competent to advise any further than that. hope it helps.

To be honest I'm really not sure. I am a beginner guitar player and don't have too much experience with pedals yet. Sorry

it sounds true to whatever your original sound is, which of course, depends on your amp or your sound man. It works great for single loops...I've never used multiple loops. hope this helps.

Not entirely sure what the exact specs are on that. I'm running two pedals, and I do know my lead guitarist runs a few more than that with no overload issues.
