Yes, and significantly so. With all my bass guitars - Yamaha TRB5, Ibanez Affirma, Willcox Lightwave. Apology for late response. Have not check in here for a while. Yes, it is compressing when NOT engaged. I removed it from the chain and the compression was gone.

Many thanks to all for your advice. Think it sounds right not to change mono bridge as it is characteristic of the Affirma. Yes, it is the most recent one that was released last year. The string distance at the mono bridge cannot be adjusted. Thanks again.

The bass in question is Ibanez Affirma 5-string. Like the extremely light weight, the body shape and the ergonomics of it.

Thanks for the advice. Yes it does.

I had always wanted a Ric 4003, being a great fan of Rush since school days. When I finally bought it, I was very disappointed. At retail price, it is over-rated in my opinion. The only satisfaction I got from owning the Ric was by association Geddy Lee owned them too. Other brands at 2/3 the...

Many thanks Kirk. I like the strings ship on the bass as well. Will go for the Dean Markley.

Hi, I might have missed this discussion along the way - what are the recommended strings for this bass? Appreciate if anyone could advice.

I would like to remove the 5 single string bridge from my bass and replace with a regular bridge. Reason being the single string bridge spacing is too far apart for me. Will be grateful for some advice, especially on how to fill up those space where the single string bridges used to sit...

I just got mine. Just to be sure. Even if the pedal is switch off, with the middle switch "OFF" and tuner "OFF", the lights are still lighted up. Is this correct?

I just got mine. There is an option of using 9v or 12v power supply. I couldn't detect the difference, maybe my hearing is not sensitive. Is there a significant difference in performance? Anyone notice?

It was default at "On" when powering up initially, now it is random when powering up. Mostly auto "on". Sometimes "off". So, is this defective?

I wrote to Tech 21 and their response was swift. Brilliant customer service. They advised it's not a defect. In the earlier production runs, the pedals were randomly made to default to "On" or "Off" when the power is turned on. The pedal uses a momentary contact switch, not a latching-type (must...

Thanks scottfeldstein. I thought this should be the case. That means there is a problem with my pedal. Actually this is a 2nd one. The first one I got was defective too. The power switch was not functioning as intended. It does not work sometimes. So I brought it back to exchange. But this...

Is it default for the YYZ pedal to be switched on automatically when using power supply outlet (e.g. Voodoo Lab, BBE, TRex) even though it was already switched off when last used? Many thanks if someone can share.

Thanks Clemouze and Iv@n for your response. I realised when my power supply (T-Rex Fuel Tank) is switched on, the YYZ pedal is switched on automatically even though it was already switched off together with the power supply earlier. Is this intented?
