I have never used anything more than my amp (and tone controls on my bass) for adjusting my sound. Lately I have found that I needed some fuzz for some of the songs my band play (the GP said get a fuzz pedal). So I searched TB, bassfuzz.com & youtube to find as much info and sound clips. I decided on the Fender Sub-Lime. It had very little info with it other than a cool poster. Being a technical kind of guy, I would like to know what the controls are and how they affect the final tone.
1) Drive- is this for adjusting the input signal? Up for a passive bass, down for a active?
2) Volume- Output gain to amp?
3) OD Tone- ??
4) X-Over Freq ???
I set everything to 12 o'clock and played with the big top control and found a tone that I liked with the top knob at about Orange. I really like it but I want to explore all the tone possibility with this cool pedal. A better understanding of the controls will help with this.
The basses I will use this with are my EBMM Sub 4 active 2 band, Jazz with DiMarzio Area J passive, Gibson SG with DiMarzio Model 1 passive.
For most of the songs I will use this for I need a soft gooey fuzz (SG-Cream) to more bite (Sub 4- AC-DC) I don't think I will need it much with the Jazz.
