    Jad Freer tube preamp pedal for 2026?

    I didn't like the blinking either. It also made a popping sound each time it blinked. I got a Voodoo labs current doubler (not voltage) and now it powers up without the glitching.

    What jazz PU’s pair best with Sadowsky VTC preamp?

    Did you ever end up making these mods? I'm also considering putting a Sadowsky preamp and Bartolini B Axis pickups in a player 2 modified V.

    Jad Freer tube preamp pedal for 2026?

    I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed in how the useful/desirable features of JF pedals are spread out amongst their offerings. CAPO has a LPF, but no HPF; the opposite for the Sarto. If you want the tube goodness that's an extra $500ish and another pedal on your board. How about a CAPO with a...

    ZeroFive Audio Lowrider

    I emailed Zero Five Audio with this same question, and they suggested putting it after the Lowrider.

    Pickup size: Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V?

    Thanks! I was just looking for this info as I'm about to order some of the new Trickfish pickups for mine.

    ZeroFive Audio Lowrider

    I felt the same way when I got mine. It just sounds so damn good. I never turn it off, just fiddle with the settings sometimes. My band mates love it too.

    NBD: MTD (KNSJ) Kingston Norm Stockton Saratoga Bass

    For those of you who have had this bass for a while, what are your thoughts? Still digging it? I think this is going to be my next bass.

    Jad Freer tube preamp pedal for 2026?

    I have a Strymon Zuma R300 and two Ojai R30s. When I got my LUCE and connected it to the Zuma, the pedal would blink several times before the light turned solid. If my amplifier was on before turning the pedalboard on (surely not best practice, but just happens sometimes), it would make a...

    Jad Freer tube preamp pedal for 2026?

    Has anyone else had the light on their LUCE blink five times when you power it up? It's being powered by a Strymon Zuma (500mA).

    Jad Freer tube preamp pedal for 2026?

    Looking forward to hearing the reviews from those of you who already have one while I wait for mine! I normally don't buy gear before hearing it/reading reviews, but the CAPO is my favorite piece of gear ever and I have little doubt that this will be a nice addition. I also just heard Shon...

    Jad Freer tube preamp pedal for 2026?

    I got one too! I couldn't help myself. It'll be taking the place of the Sushibox Neptunium after my CAPO.

    I hope this has a HPF to go with the LPF on the CAPO.

    Envelope filter/follower addict support group

    That's quite the list! I have a question for you. Are you putting your filters before or after compression? The filters I've tried sound a lot better to me before the compressor, but I also wouldn't want them before my octave, which definitely sounds best after the compressor. Bit of a...

    It's a riot. Takes dirt really well too. There's at least one good demo on YouTube. I do recommend a compressor/limiter afterwards though as it throws off some crazy peaks that could damage your speakers.
