The lowend switch settings are 60/30/80 and the mode switch to the right has the CMOS drive in parallel, not dry signal.

Nice video, but unfortunately he got some of the controls mixed up😅

If they’re different in any way, it’s due to normal tolerance/variation in part values. Circuit and PCB are exactly the same.

The tapers of the gain knob are different between the two, so that's to be expected. Are you sure it's from the pedal itself? There is no boost on the output, so any noise you hear is from whatever is in front of the bass jive and the pedal itself, but I took some effort to make the pedal...

Gotcha! Thanks :) I always liked the turbo rat. Especially when you solder antiparallel red LED across the gain pot.

I have absolutely no idea what the big boot judy is, but I'm glad it's working out for you :D

Absolutely great pedal! Loved it when it came out. Had to sell it back then due to money reasons, but it's basically the only pedal I actually miss sometimes. It can get quite close to the OC-2 vibe but it's not an exact 1:1 type of thing. The other things it can do are mind boggling, especially...

The OC-2 can be safely operated on a 12V supply. If you know how to solder, you can also swap two e-caps for ones with higher voltage rating and operate it on 15 or even 18V. The other components can take that no problem, it's just the bulk caps on the supply and virtual ground line that are...

What does one really need? What is our purpose? I think this might be getting a bit too philosophical here. Since this thread is mainly about the Bass/Deluxe Jive, it'd be probably fair to the members of this forum to keep the disdain about pedals that are not the Bass Jive to a minimum...

Interesting. This version is identical, value wise. We couldn't hear (or measure) any noticeable differences with the units we tested that couldn't be made up for with the gain knob. Dialing them in is a bit different due to the different tapers. Also keep in mind, these are single FET devices...

The OG Jive circuit is almost 1:1 implemented in the bass jive. I designed the PCBs for both, so I know. the only difference is I even added a gain coupled lowpass to it. The higher you turn the gain, the lower the cutoff. At zero gain cutoff is higher than 20kHz, at max gain it is around 6kHz...

Yes it can. It’s the same circuit as the regular Jive. The only jive that really doesn’t accept 18V is the micro/mini Jive.

Ach Andre. Let's stay professional, constructive and friendly, shall we? I know you're fro Germany, we've had exchanges on bassic. If you have expertise to offer, we're unironically happy to offer you a job. We're working on shifting towards sending out the shipping info when the pedals are...

Businesses are not rigid entities. We are learning, adjusting, evolving. You can be sure that we learned a lot from this release and will adjust the process accordingly. But again, this doesn't happen within two days. It's not a question of if and never has been. Yes, waiting times could be...

It's more like a ticket system in a restaurant. Materials for X pedals in stock -> print X (minus margin for error/fault) labels for open orders -> built X pedals -> take label from ticket system -> ship pedal -> happy (hopefully) customer. We've noticed that people are sometimes irritated by...
