Two Notes Le Bass Players Club

I am on the fence. I have a Le Bass in my shopping cart at a certain retailer. I don't *need* a Le Bass preamp. I don't know if I could even fit one on my Pedaltrain Mini (older version). Why is this thing so big? But the cold fusion really sounds great.

For those of you that have one are you running any OD pedals in front of it or are both channels enough to kick one on and off when needing more grit?

I think it's big because it runs high voltage inside, plus, room for the tube, Midi I/O, effects loop...

I run a Pigtronix Disnortion in to it, it gives me 2 more stages of gain and the LeBass takes it well, compresses it a little but really warms it up.
 
As a tip to those running the Torpedo CAB through the Le Bass effects loop, I have found that setting both the Torpedo's IN and OUT level switches to LINE affords one better Volume knob range on both Channels of the Le Bass. The two pedals work very well together in this way. :thumbsup:
