    Truly clean clean blends on dirt pedals - lists needed

    you might be missing the point of what it is you are experiencing. Most likely, because you run very hot signals into these pedals, you are making the clean signal distort. They will be Clean blends, but because your signal is very hot it's making the clean stages clipp. The solution is to run...

    Sushi box pedals - quality issue?

    If these pedals use tubes (the ones I know of, do) and are running at higger voltages they will require that type of current to feed the tube and work properly.

    The Bass Mute (Ellio Martina)

    I am interested in the Bass Mute but the website seems to be down and I can't find this anywhere. Are these no longer made? I'm not interested on anything else nor opinions about "why not using sponge" or other type of mute; just this one in particular!!!

    Lusithand Ground & Pound mk2 short review.

    Not only is it not a prototype, it is in production, and also down to the last 15 units being assembled as we speak.

    Giddy for Geddy!

    Where did you buy the pickups from? I am trying to buy a set of his pickups but his website doesn't let us choose any other country rather than the US, for shipping.

    Neck pickup volume dilemma

    If you open your bass and you look at the volume control, whatever value it shows, does it have the letter "B" or "A" on it? It sounds like it's an "A" taper (usually the best, for most applications) and perhaps, for your case, you would like a "B"(Linear) taper. At the end of the day it might...

    what pickups for the most accurate, true to form 60s p bass sound.

    What do you particularly like about those two options, the Arcanes and the McNellys? I am openm to trying smaller makers and I am interested in both, but, being in the UK it would be good to know more about the McNellys, but I can't find much information on it. Could you extend a little bit on...

    18v high gain basses clipping my preamps and compressor

    Your pedals (that are clipping) do not have enough headroom (they don't run on enough voltage) to deal with the large voltage signal output coming from your bass. Does any of your pedals have an Input gain control, or Volume? If so, you can use that to bring down the volume at the input to the...

    Bass preamp pedals without DI's

    Thank you. This is very helpful, as well as many other answers from our fellow bass-players. I'm deciding if I should include a DI out, and if so, do I also need to include a Ground Lift switch as well as a switch for pre-post EQ, etc..., not to mention the space which it might be tight or just...

    Bass preamp pedals without DI's

    Making a pedal there are other costs rather than the parts costs that take into the equation of making a pedal (or dozens/hundreds). If there is a DI out, the circuit needs more circuitry and parts but it also takes longer to make them (man hours) which drives the price of a product up. If I end...
