So, that pedal works fine with passive basses, but with active basses it distorts the signal when in bypass. What could I do to prevent the distortion? I also have the Synth Wah from Digitech and want to use them, but I don't want unwanted distortion in my sound.

Problem with Digitech Bassdriver
- Thread starter Niskamies
- Start date
I used to have the Digitech bass driver, and I have an active bass. I never remembered having bypass problems. Anyways, one solution would be to use a looper to just route the signal around the digitech when not using it. www.loooper.com

Flossin'? I thought your name was Munson!
Are you running it on batteries or with a power supply? I know first hand that these Digitech pedals eat batteries for breakfast. You'll get the best sound possible with a power supply. I use both a Bass Driver and a Danelectro Fab Tone for distortion. The bass driver works really well with an active bass. The Fab Tone is more of a one tick pony, but I like the trick it does!
