Passive/ active pedal switch?

[Brian Soto]

I have some passive basses and some active. I always use the volume in the bass knob or a foot volume pedal to compensate for the change in gain of passive vs active. Is a slow process in the middle of the show also can wreak havoc in the gain stages and how effects reacts. What I can do? Buy a boost pedal and use it with the passive basses? Or what?

I use a TC Spark mini to level input levels between basses. I have it in the beginning to keep unity levels.

Consider using a Boost pedal, such as the TC Spark Mini or MXR Micro Amp, when playing your passive bass. Keep the pedal 'on' during passive bass use and switch it off when using your active bas

If you are using a digital multi-effects processor, create separate patches for each bass. Even if the effects applied are identical, adjusting the input volume for each preset is essential to prevent sudden volume spikes and maintain consistent sound levels.

Yeah ChatGPT is helping me translate

I used Boss LS-2 for this purpose, it works perfectly

If you want something fancy, the GigRig 3 to 1 is designed for this. 3 inputs you can switch between, each with a different gain setting: Three2One
