Re: My fuzz prototype is no longer a prototype
lol at 1000.
It clips even with the volume rolled back. The Brothers does it pretty bad on some settings. The Spectre was totally unusable for me, which sucked.
I have 18v pres. Sooooo....lol
I've had to search long and hard for effects that work with actives. Some just do not for whatever reason.

Re: My fuzz prototype is no longer a prototype
Can the 18v pre run on a single 9v? Might improve chances of success with fuzz. The debuffer circuits floating around have 9v, not 18v, in mind.
If the pickups sound okay passive, you could add a bypass switch for the pre. Or get a passive bass that works well with fuzz. Assuming you do in fact love fuzz.

They are punchier and brighter. Plus they don't sound like muddy butt hole ala P Bass.Chankgeez wrote:So, what are the advantages to you of playing with an active bass?Jesus Was a Robot wrote:

Not all passive basses sound like P Basses.Jesus Was a Robot wrote:

Plus, can't you just get a pedal to make passive pickups sound punchier and brighter?

Also,
There's word from deep within the woods that something is coalescing. The soft whispers are growing to a din. It is said that a mighty pact has been forged, one that will forever alter things to come.

Are we talking about tentacle porn, or a new Diablo pedal that instantly incinerates the unworthy?
