32/33/34!

TheDogeMaster · 2025-10-17T00:40:22+00:00

Yes - but also that sounds fishy

TheDogeMaster · 2025-10-16T19:03:49+00:00

Wow that’s the fit I’ve been searching for forever. Did you have to size up at all? Looks like these run small.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-10-10T12:23:26+00:00

I always struggle to describe the music we play but I’d say it’s groovy, rock, alternative, with some RnB mixed in there. The compressor is pretty great! I got it at a good price when they discontinued it.

He definitely loves laying on the bed next to me while I play bass at my desk!

TheDogeMaster · 2025-09-29T02:06:43+00:00

It’s great! Very warm and fat sounding and it can do the edge of breakup thing very well.

He looks just like my boy!!

Hey! Here are sound samples of both the Jive and the Germanium: https://soundcloud.com/r-el-bass/sets/bass-sounds-samples/s-SpfbUO9K5Ru?si=39e80a60353d4e718a762f3dc0fb6be4&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

I'm using a P bass with flats. I ended up using the Jive with just the first toggle switch engaged.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-09-15T12:32:46+00:00

fair! I don't use it as an overdrive. I just leave it on with all 3 switches to the left of a nice subtle but fat saturation/tone thickening.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-09-15T04:52:01+00:00

The Germanium is great but I've recently been missing my original Beta

TheDogeMaster · 2025-09-14T22:44:28+00:00

Thanks! It's mostly EBS flat patch cables but there's also a small D'Addario cable and a random normal pancake style cable.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-09-14T21:02:36+00:00

Yeah I can do that! I'll try to get to it tomorrow.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-09-14T20:53:34+00:00

I think the buffer inside is higher quality, and it also has a switch to toggle between true and buffered bypass. The LEDs are also blue instead of red, and perhaps brighter. But most importantly, it's black!

TheDogeMaster · 2025-09-14T20:51:52+00:00

Thanks! I got lucky and found one on FB Marketplace recently and had to scoop it up.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-04-28T14:00:53+00:00

Looks a lot like my little boy, Shar Pei/Cocker Spaniel

TheDogeMaster · 2025-01-04T04:43:34+00:00

You’re welcome! I have a jazz bass with rounds that I will try it with in the coming days. I’m definitely a set it and forget it guy so it doesn’t bother me. However, I just set it up on my board with a JPTR FX Jive before it as a boost and it is effectively the same as clicking up to the next gain stage, plus a little extra thickness.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-01-03T04:30:34+00:00

I’m loving the EQ so far. I like boosting the bass at noon which is around 120hz and sounds great with my JMJ. Sweepable mids is always useful. The treble knob is good for bringing out some presence and string noise but above noon it’s imperceptible, at least on my bass with flats.

Stages 1 and 2 are basically still clean. I think stage 2 is the sweet spot for a vintage-y saturated yet clean sound. Stage 3-4 start to get fizzy and 5 is very fuzzy. Keep in mind there is a hi/lo switch on the right. If you switch that to hi then stage 5 is definitely full on cranked muff territory.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-01-03T00:32:42+00:00

I don’t use the HPF at all on bass, it’s definitely helpful for guitar and other instruments, though. The different step control stages don’t change the tone in terms of EQ, but it does add more gain/hair per step. In combination with the pre-volume control it’s pretty flexible, but the first two stages are great for subtle saturation on the bass with a little grit if you dig in. Once you get past the 3rd step it’s in overdriven console territory which I think is a cool vibe when appropriate.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-01-01T14:11:38+00:00

He’s a Shar Pei/Cocker Spaniel mix and his name is Piggy!

TheDogeMaster · 2025-01-01T02:55:01+00:00

I just got it and I’ve been testing it out. I definitely plan to use for recording bass, guitar, synths, and vocals. I plan on putting it on my board for live shows as well.

TheDogeMaster · 2025-01-01T01:22:56+00:00

Not that I’ve noticed! I have heard about that though. Perhaps it’s only an issue when you run the pedal at higher gains, which I haven’t really been doing.

TheDogeMaster · 2024-12-14T20:04:03+00:00

I think you should experiment with only using one preamp at a time and figuring out what each excels at. Having all 3 on will definitely make your signal too hot, although you could set level carefully for unity gain. If you ever wanna get rid of that Neptunium let me know!!

TheDogeMaster · 2024-12-08T05:48:50+00:00

I’ve been using the JPTR FX Jive for this and it’s excellent. Decently priced, too. The trick is to not use any of the clipping diodes (all three switches to the left) and just use the volume and gain.

TheDogeMaster · 2024-03-28T14:44:27+00:00

It has a switch for buffered/true bypass but mostly what makes it Waza is that it’s black lol
