jc_riffs Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi guys. Just recentley got hold of my first Eden rig after many years of umming and arring. Just a quick question that might seem a little naieve. I am playing a Bacchus Standard 5 that has an on-board J Retro Deluxe pre-amp installed. Now is it important that I have the -12db engaged when playing. When it is engaged I didnt get the full powerful Eden tone that I have heard so much about. I was setting the gain around 2-3 o'clock wwhich cause the gain light to come on, so im guessing the output of my bass isn't too hot to be playing without the -12db pad engaged. Is it safe to play this rig with an active bass without the -12db engaged? Thanks J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's safe, just turn down if you get clipping or bad sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc_riffs Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 cheers boys. when i had the -12db engaged the volume and power just wasnt there for an 800w amp. when the pad was engaged i had to set the gain at 3 o'clock and the master at 1-2 o'clock to get any sort of ummmmph, and that was in a small practice studio. My bass mustn't be as hot as I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
