Hello !

For those who are interested i have a sound sample of EBS Valve Drive.
The equpment used is:
-Warwick streamer LX5 75% neck pickup - on passive mode
-EBS valve drive - vintage mode : mids full on, bass 7-8 o'clock, highs 2 o'clock, gain 12-1 o'clock
-amp: Trace Elliot V-Type all tubes
-cabinet: Ampeg SVT 410HE
The microphones used was: Shure sm57 and beta52
I know it sounds weird without guitars :) If you want to hear the whole song check the myspace link from my signature, the song is called Pendulum. I mention that in the version from myspace the distortion is blended with DI.

I noticed you are using the Valvedrive with yor Warwick in passive mode and I was wondering if you, or anyone else, could tell me how it responds when using an active bass.

Thanks!

When i use my Warwick on active mode the sound is somehow more compresed... I like it better on passive mode. But the pickups are still active even in passive mode. In passive mode i bypass just the preamp.

None of you noticed this part???? His clip does not demonstrate the sound of the pedal. "Organic" is the sound of the all-tube amp through a miked Ampeg cab. He could be playing through a Kazoo-brand Suckulizer pedal and it would sound "organic".
