Yes.Nice. Hopefully mine doesn’t end up in a warehouse in FLA somewhere with my Oracle.
Well they both have transformers and it is Miami

Yep...I got a shipping notice, too! Hopefully all 3 come in the same package!!!
The 2020's showed up! I knew they were on the way but wasn't expecting them today... Now I need to clear out my schedule!
Try a 2020 in the effects loop of the SLO III? Would that be worthwhile? Or better between bass and SLO input?
so when I accidentally tried it backwards it sucked all of the tone out of my signal. Then I switched it and everything was ok
Seriously, this thing is great. It makes me sound more like a record. So far have only used it first in the chain, with headphones, practicing along with recordings of my cover band. I fit in better. I feel as though I can use the compressor and preamp downstream more aggressively because what's coming in is better.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
Now I’m confused. Mike states that it can be used either way with no difference.so when I accidentally tried it backwards it sucked all of the tone out of my signal. Then I switched it and everything was ok

2020 arrived today. It looks like it could fit underneath a Nano which would be nice for future reference
The little 2020 is pretty sweet isn't it. Your little board reminds me of my nano I recently set up.
Got mine today. This Little box has some weight to it. I was very impressed with the packaging. I’m gonna use it tonight. First thing I noticed is that my volume seemed to go up. I will do a bunch of tests on my days off and compare.
Isn't it impossible for a passive box to cause your volume to go up? I know what you mean. I don't need as much volume to be heard. It's as if it increases your personality.
It’s technically not impossible. A step up transformer might be able to do it, but this is a 1:1 transformer. There’s no such thing as a perfect transformer, so scientifically it is impossible for a 1:1 transformer to experience no volume loss. Therefore, it can not boost your volume. It was carefully designed to exhibit the least amount of volume loss I could possibly squeeze out of it. The truth is it does sound to my ears almost like a boost because it does add character in a frequency range sensitive to our ears. I think this character does make the instrument sound stand in the foreground of a mix a little better. Thanks for the support, guys!
Anyone using a passive jazz bass? I'm curious if there is any noticable difference or if its negligible due to the lower output. I was thinking of putting one after a spark booster to drive the transformer harder
