Toasted

I dont know. I've got all mixed up feelings about what is the right thing to do.

Well, it works in theory and it works in practice. I've scoped it and it does what I thought it would. There's some refinements I want to make, and I was to get some verified, publishable data. Then I'm going to build a small run of 10.

Fly's suggestion is great, I'd wire it this way: wah->big muff->chorus->punch factory->sansamp ns2 on ebay.

Just keep hooking them up in different orders until you can get sounds that you want. Only your ears are right, and there's no set order for FX.

Seriously nice.

FWIW it's nothing to do with high output but low impedance.

That makes alot of sense if you have alot of "bastard" voltage FX.

There's a used one in Johnny Roadhouse, Manchester.

Steve - they'd be more useful for people with passive basses who wanted to limit the effects of long cable capacitance Passive = high impedance Active = low impedance

Email james ([email protected]) and ask him. I know he's already making quite a few of the 18v ones.

Flea's a great bass player, but I don't rate him as a musician. A little music theory would go along way with him. If you look at some of the live stuff especially it's full of mistakes and there's at least 4/5 times a set when he's playing off key.

Yes.

I can only use pedals barefoot

Thanks for the comments. I just spent some time with the scope and there are a few improvements I can make. So I'm going to do that now

[quote name='Oscar South' post='185694' date='Apr 26 2008, 02:01 AM']How hard would it be to make the opposite of one of these (high impedance to low) for use with piezo pickups?[/quote] There's loads of pedals/circuits/racks etc. that do it this way. I only did it this way becuase low -> high impedance is a pretty specialist application.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='185690' date='Apr 26 2008, 01:46 AM']Oooh. Does it change the sound of the bass much?[/quote] From my ear-tests there's no change in tone and no attenuation in volume. I'll "prove" that with a scope later on this weekend

I went to see my buddy's band tonight, and when I got home I made an impedance buffer. It takes whatever input impedance you put in (for example your looooow impedance active bass) and re-sets it to the perfect (high) impedance to run vintage fuzz circuits that have a problem with low impedance signals - like a fuzz face and derivatives. I can now use my active bass with any fuzz pedal. "Bonza". 9v boss-style power, water clear pink LED, hammond case, switchcraft jacks
