boost with compressor

[Killcram187]

Did a quick search and skimmed through so if I'm making a thread on an already solved problem, sorry.

Anyways, and I'm running my bass through a tu-2, blackout effectors Fix'd fuzz, and a lmb-3.
Obviously I use the lmb-3 to keep. My volume levels in check when going between fingerpicking and slapping. The problem comes When I try to use my Fix'd fuzz as pedal for a bit of extra volume (all switches off except clean boost) the lmb-3 basically cancels it out.

If anyone can help you will honestly save the show I have on Wednesday

Um, put the LMB in front of the fuzz.

[ChasBass]

Put your fuzz after the lmb-3 in your signal chain.

[Killcram187]

If I do that the fuzz gets super crazy and sputtery.
I don't really want to be changing pedal order between songs at shows.
I was hoping there was another solution, but ill try it out at practice and see if I can chill out the fuzz.
Thanks bongo. And I can't wait for the review on the mxr bass compressor

[bongomania]

There are two main things that cause a fuzz to sound crazy and sputtery:
1) putting a buffer between passive pickups and the fuzz
2) feeding it too hot of a signal.

Since you've already got a Boss tuner in front of the fuzz, that's a buffer, so that's not the problem. Likely to be the levels. Try reducing the output level of the LMB.

Oh and actually the very best solution would be to switch off the LMB when you switch on the fuzz.

[Killcram187]

Will do sir. I'll report my results later tonight

EDIT:I truly prefer to my lmb as an always but if that's what gives me best results ill turn it off while fuzzing it up

[Killcram187]

Alright I'm back and after tons of knob tweaking I havefound my perfect for spot for fuzz without noise, and with the flip of two switches and a quarter turn of a knob: the perfect volume boost.
I'm happy now
And yes I ended up moving the fuzz last in chain

edit: grammar
