Will do.
The active bass makes sense too...I'd think "active" pedals, active bass can leak voltage.

 

[johnk_10]

all of the switches on mine's switching is completely silent. (i.e bypass, grit, scoop)

Ditto. Not sure if it matters but my basses are either passive or played 99% of the time in passive mode.

 

[BadMonk]

All my basses are passive too. Hopefully, I can get to changing the pedalboard today.

So the pop disappears when I remove the compressor pedal from the signal chain (or, more accurately, from in front of the ZIO). Sounds totally fine without the compressor in front of it. I probably should have figured that out in advance...senior moment again. ZIO remains always on, always.

Thanks to Dave at SA for the nudge in the right direction.

So this unit has issues with actives basses or compressors in front? The compression is not huge because I run my compressors last but i do use active basses.

I have no issues with a comp in front or even when I engage my onboard preamps...perhaps it's a question of how hot the input signal is....maybe BadMonk's comp output was cranked???

I run mine after compression, and I have an active bass. No issues.
By and by, the Zio pairs really well with the Shift-line CabZone X, for IE’s.

I'm thinking this issue maybe a result of the power supply some are having issues others are not. What type of power is being used. I use a cioks dc7.

 

[Rick Penrose]

Using the one supplied with the pedal

So no pedalboard?

 

[Rick Penrose]

No just the one pedal and my active bass

Mine didn’t come with a power supply

 

[Johno Dunn]

Just wanted to throw this out there, the Zio pairs really well with the Shift-Line CabZone X for IE’s.

 

[PhatBottomBass1]

I'm using a Strymon Ojai R30 and no issues with three (3) pedals in front (+1 in one pedals loop) with a passive P Bass and not experiencing an issue described. (I am however now leaving it ON and the grit at "O" as someone had suggested!)

This is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma!

Do you have an active bass you could try?

Nope...

This is not right. ZIO Bass should include a power supply. Perhaps our UK distributor did not grasp this requirement and failed to drop in a UK version, as they do with all our digital pedals.

Comp was / is around mid level. Played last night for three hours, with comp after the ZIO, and no pops.

I got the SA power supply with the ZIO and have been using it, and no other.
