Chris said this when I asked the other day. Apparently DHL is on strike Strike at Deutsche Post: Verdi Calls for Action at Parcel Centers

JPTR Bass Jive
- Thread starter mouthmw
- Start date
More from FB, he's currently building the next lot of the pre-orders.
He's going to make more Bass Jives in the future - but only after the pre-order backlog is out of the door.
There's a new internal dip-switch setting for new Jives and the Bass Jives that enable 'always on' saturation with the foot-switch activating the drive circuit.

Seems like he is alluding to creating something that will replace the Jive. Also seems like he is getting frustrated by people claiming the Jive is just a ripoff of the sho.
Ah yes, I've just seen the marketing email about it. I'm waiting on an order for a regular Jive so I guess it'll be one of the last ones.
I'm betting the regular Jive is getting an update. My prediction - soft switch, buffer, possibly 3-way switches with maybe more options than just clipping diodes. Oh and I bet it gets the "always on" internal switch like the Bass Jive.
I got the impression that these latest regular Jives will get the alway-on option, but I'll see when it arrives. Maybe he's some insights and ideas from designing the Bass version that he's thinking of bringing in to a replacement for the regular one?
The photo on their Facebook page shows the internal switch for the Bass version, not for the regular Jive. All of the updates I've mentioned are what Bass Jive has. I also forgot to mention that regular Jive inverts the phase, Bass Jive won't. That's also an update I bet regular Jive gets as well.
That's interesting that it won't invert the phase. One of the reasons the original Jive sounds big imo. Will be interesting to hear the bass jive and the always on feature is great, but that sounds like it will be very different to the normal jive in sound. Time will tell.
Inverting the phase is not an issue nor is it audible (we can't hear polarity, we hear the same sound either way) unless you're splitting the signal/blending your dry signal with it. For single signal path it will make no difference.
I can hear an effect that's similar to it for sure when I switch my regular jive on. Compared to my tone when the pedal is off.
I like the 'wideness' it brings and use it always on.

Just realised the Jive has been an ever present on my board for 6 years now. Longest serving pedal I have along with the C4. So eagerly awaiting reviews on this new bass version!
At least our shipment is at the depot...finally, let's see how long DHL/USPS will drag this out.
Just got a text from USPS that mine has processed through Germany. Getting more excited.
Everyone planning to run this at 18v?

I hope this is a shaging Joke?!
When a pedal says it´s 9 Volt only. You DONT´T feed it with 18 Volts.
I hope it´s a joke.
Thats one of the reasons the company has a bad reputation with "faulty" units.
When the users are too stupid to read and fry the pedals.
I hope it´s a joke.
