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...

Personally, I like to combine the two. So that it sounds disgusting both with and without context, of course. Same. It was mind boggling how well that IR works when I first tried it ages ago. I used to create my own IR by filtering and merging different IR but that Mesa 215 one instantly hit...

but they do in the element and exponent.

Did you have the peggy as last block in the chain or did you lower the volume after it/with the volume parameter inside the block? Reason for asking is that it's possible the block itself was clipping and you turned down the already clipped signal so the meters showed everything as OK. The...

Was it actually the peggy distorting like you would expect an svt to or could it also have been just digital clipping with the level reaching 0dBfs?

Interesting. Leads me to think they're actually doing component based modeling on those and maybe omitted some too many supply restrictions on the components in an attempt to make the equations easier/faster to compute... If you model/calculate a gain stage without supply restrictions you're...

No precise date. Some time this month. The workshop also has Kaleidoscopes, Warlows, etc. to build. It's not a parallelized process.

Yep!

There a about a dozen BassJives left on the work bench!

Your impression is correct. In the Bass/Deluxe Jive we use very low noise, low distortion buffers to ensure highest signal quality. I'm a strong advocate for converting the signal to low impedance as early as possible in the signal chain, so it made sense for me to add a high end buffer to the...

It is. All versions and iterations of it.

They're not custom built. You can chose between two front covers but the cabs are not custom built. Still pricey tho but incredible performance given the size and weight for the 12" models. Personally not a huge fan of the 10" ones. They're good as well but much less full range and also less...

This sounds a lot like a cab issue, not an amp issue per se. The BG120 in my experience is a very honky and nasal sounding cab. Same goes for any PJB cab that uses the very small drivers. I don't like them very much. The CAB27 (and CAB47 and 67 by extension) on the other hand are my go to...

Let's hope not haha.

Stomp mode on HX can do more than just toggle a block on/off. You can assign multiple parameters, midi and bypass states to a single switch in stomp mode. And since firmware 2.5 or something llike that you can even assign presets and snapshots (scenes) to a stomp, which allows for pretty complex...

At least for wah pretty sure you can just bind the cutoff frequency of the (envelope) filter to the expression pedal.

Same. Kinda. Picked it up not because of some direct influence, but Ryan and John Myung were probably the biggest reason I kept at it since the band I originally wanted to play in never came to be.

Yes, that is the fundamental principle of profiling. Hence the gazillion profiles you find for profilers that have been on the market for ages like the Kemper and even the QC has a pretty hefty data base now. If you want to tweak a virtual amp and expect it to behave like the real thing Fractal...

His testing method is a bit rough and several people have reported different numbers, although none of the numbers that have been reported thus far (that I know of) are high, so I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Bind the cutoff frequency of a lowpass to the expression pedal, adjust the resonance/Q of the filter and voila, you have yourself a bass wah.

Leo Gibson has uploaded a latency test. Numbers look good, but I'd take them with a (very large) grain of salt he also claims his measuring setup to have zero latency by itself, which is obviously not possible. Except if his audio interface is secretly a TARDIS and sends its output back in time...

There are ways to predict pitch faster than at 1/2 wavelength. Read/saw something about that a while ago on the audio developer conference, will have to took it up again as I'm not that deep into that topic. FWIW: you don't need to fiddle with all the recording and measuring latency with a...

The cortex looks like a DG device, not the other way around. Because back then it was designed by the guys working at DG. The neural capturing in the Anagram has nothing to do with what's used in the Cortex. In the Anagram, they simply implemented existing open source software. Anyone can do...

Darkglass and NDSP are not the same company. DG have been sold to Korg. It’s questionable how many of the roots they share are still present. It would appear that Darkglass are invested in Mod Devices and the Anagram is basically the upgrade to the Mod Dwarf. This explains the 3rd party plugin...

The Cortex is also Linux based. There’s even an unofficial modded firmware somewhere on GitHub. :D

Very skilled drummers maybe. The average person won't notice latency in the single digit range and even 15ms is debatable for seasoned musicians (not average person). Personally, I don't even think about latency if the whole signal chain doesn't add up to 10ms and I try to avoid higher numbers...
