Have you tried setting the latency to ultra low in the AmpliTube settings? You can get it even lower if you run it inside Audiobus, as Audiobus locks the latency of apps running inside it and the settings allow you to go lower than most other apps will.

Quite the opposite, it's one of the only supplies along with its little brother the CS7 where you can pretty much ignore the ratings on the individual outputs the outputs as long as you don't exceed the total for the entire brick.

Ask someone else, I've tried neither!

Email [email protected] and ask about the Renegade basses. There's also a Rickenfaker group on Facebook where you'll find a few for sale!

Something reasonably priced that can cover light grit to heavy distortion... perhaps the MXR Bass Distortion? http://youtu.be/yc6EMg9dKZc

The Aftershock is way more versatile, but it is a pain to program. If you put the time into it though you could end up with a bunch of presets for different tracks - Motorhead sounds pretty different to Muse for example! You can get some decent fuzz sounds from blending for example a Muff and Darkglass model in parallel. If it's definitely a heavy fuzz you seek the Duality could work but forget trying to coax overdrive sounds from it - it desperately needs a gain control!

WD Music sell proper non-printed tort, I have one on one of my Ps. I'd ask the chap from Limelight, his builds have decent looking reliced tort guards if you want something that looks worn in.

I don't think it would have active/passive in stock form, and I've never heard of active/passive switching achieved by turning a pot that wasn't a push/pull or rotary switch. Either way, it would only pass signal without a battery if it was passive, or if it was active with intelligent switching to fallback to passive in the event of a battery failure. Sounds like this guy butchered your electronics without knowing what he was doing!

The Ampegs in Garageband are top notch also, I prefer them to the various amp models I've paid good money for and these were free!

Character is essentially a mid control placed before the overdrive section. If you want grit, just turn the gain down - with the gain low, you can even have cleans at 100% blend. Mild overdrive always sounds best fully wet IMHO as long as there's enough low end - the blend is only useful to me at high gain where all that crunch robs your signal of low end and dynamics.

The Mad Bean Afterlife gets good reviews for a diy comp: http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/after.shtml

I really loved the look of the 505 and was gassing for one, until I listened to all the various clips and demos I could find and it was clear that the 305 sounded better and was cheaper!

Get a cheap true bypass loop pedal and test all your patch cables with it. With just a simple patch cable in the loop, you shouldn't hear anything turning it on or off, but I was surprised to find some of mine either dulled the signal or added noise, so I binned those!

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1476995060' post='3159163'] Yep, my band Mister Super Juice (see link in sig) are a seven piece instrumental cinematic funk band. [/quote] Liked!

Not tried the new VMTD either but prefer my Vulcan to my old VMTD and B7K! Although the B7K still rules the roost for metal.

A Boss LS-2 will do half of it, i.e. blending the B7K with an EQ'ed clean signal. Put the B7K and EQ in separate loops. Ignore the parallel out of the B7K and let the LS-2 split your signal for you. Set the mix levels with the LS-2, then if you want to bypass the EQ and just have the B7K blended with clean, just turn off the EQ. Or if you just want the B7K soloed, hit the LS-2 to switch to just that loop instead of the mix of A+B. Alternatively, SFX also do a simple mini mix pedal that sums two pedals together - you could use this instead of the above to blend the output of the EQ pedal and the B7K effect out. Since they both have volume knobs you can do without them! That's the blend portion out of the way - then just use a separate true bypass loop for the rest of the wah/fuzz chain. But if you want it all in one box, I would hit up SFX, COG, Bright Onion, etc!

If you want a drawbar organ sound look at the EHX B9 / C9 pedals. If you want a mellow house-like synth bass sound - 3Leaf Octabvre Mini gets my vote, that's exactly what I use mine for!

You don't need a Precision, you need two. One with flats, one with rounds. And a Jazz.

If you want a decent simple passive A/B box in a tiny pedal, I have one for sale here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/290887-lucid-audio-fuzz-o-potamus-original-q-tron-wee-lush-ab-boxx-napalm-snowball-feedback-loop-tap-tempo-switch

I would also avoid using Bluetooth for playing bass. However, for video playback, some players automatically adjust when connected to Bluetooth, I know the nPlayer app I use on my iPad does not do this but it does have a manual slider to adjust the delay!

I currently use a Fairfield Accountant as a dirty boost. Sounds much nicer than the Phat Phuk to me. It's a compressor, but set to low compression it's a fantastic mild overdrive/boost in 1590A size - and there's one in the classifieds! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cumlB6lUU-Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=121MDHvWwEw Otherwise there is the Southampton Fifth Gear - the old model is 1590A with just a volume knob, the new one is slightly larger with more controls.
