He wouldn’t be there first boutique builder to “reengineer” a basic pedal and charge handsomely for the privilege. To be fair I have heard demos of his stuff and there is an audible ‘improvement’ when it’s engaged. I have a preamp I’m using and the difference when plugging into the amp directly and then into the preamp>amp it’s like the proverbial lifting a blanket off the speaker!

In a word… No 😀

I suppose if they can do it in software they would have the engineering capability to do it in a pedal using whatever digital trickery that would entail without it being a "plug-in in a pedal". If it sounds good and works then...

I’ve a TRex bass juice which at low gain adds a nice ‘bigger’ version of your bass but with mucho gain plus a fuzzy old school sounding tone. I have a Spark too and it’s well voiced for bass.

For an LA-2A type comp you have to try the Effectrode PC-2A.

It’s a minefield! What sounds are you trying to get? What bass tones/bands/songs are you trying to sound like? Fuzz? low gain? clanky? modern drive? Thickening up for an old school sound? Strident mid forward? Old time amp? That is not a complete list by any stretch 😀

Selling my Colourbox as I now have other transformer based goodness in my signal chain. This has had a full once over from JHS due to a noise issue (which turned out to be caused by a cheap Amazon 9v wall wart) so is as up to date as you can get - they basically dropped in a brand new circuit with all the most up to date revisions so it’s as new. It’s been home use only but has been on a pedal board and used as a DI/recording preamp for some projects. JHS did a great video showing the CB as a preamp for a host of instruments and it’s a great tool for the home studio. There are two transformers, one on each output, so if you want some heft on you instruments you find it within this box. I have a couple of passive LBA transformers which I’m using on my board now instead of this so it’s surplus. Don’t fix it in the box get it right first time with this Neve based preamp! Full spec here: https://www.jhspedals.info/colour-box-v2 Might consider some p/x. Quite fancy a Squier Paranormal bass -
I have the Funkulator pedal which is the tone circuit in the Grizzly Bass. and it is a wonderfully useful tool in its own right and I think this may have the Redeemer buffer built in too. Considering you get a Funkulator plus an OD and distortion circuit this is cracking value. -
Just out of interest does this version have the internal dials for knee and attack? I read somewhere they added these on later models -
I’m not that far away 😉

Id love to try one out beside the Simone preamp as it does that wonderful thing of making the perceived 'bandwidth' open up compared to playing via the amp alone. I love preamps and this Caveman one really appeals but I just couldn't justify one right now unless someone buys my Colourbox v.2 preamp to free up funds!

UA just released a stand alone LA-2A pedal as well 😀
-
The price comparison to a Stomp is fair but as mentioned how many ‘boutique’, single application pedals are over£200 these days. I had to catch myself the other day looking at the new UA 1176 pedal thinking it was affordable because it’s under £200 then I did a quick wait it’s nearly £200!! I had the old M5 years ago and it’s handy. Phaser for a Lizzy track, tube drive for Clash song, chorus for an intro, fuzz etc you get the idea. In an ‘average set’ in my pub band I can easily get by with no fx but this type of unit makes it a fun tool but it’s up to the player to judge if it sounds better than the many compact multi fx boxes out there or is worth the money. It looks the part!

GuitarGuitar have bumped their delivery date back a week. I’ll pop in and play one when it eventually arrives.

I have the Bass Juice too but set very low gain with just a touch of drive but the tone wide open. What about pairing the TRex with another drive pedal. If you like what it does then gain staging with another box might just be the ticket. My mate has been very impressed with the EBS unit mentioned above and I see one on here for £70

This would be perfect under my 210 combo. -
Caveman Audio BP1, a very, very, very short review...
krispn replied to bassmayhem's topic in Amps and Cabs
If you want a killer preamp and you want to spend some dough you have to consider the Simone preamp by Jule Amps. If you can find one to demo you’ll appreciate the quality it brings and it’s versatility. Tubes, great eq, drive and boost. It’s a very complete package (but on fx loop) and I think it surpasses the Noble in terms of what it can do. If it’s a Neve style preamp you’re after, something transformer based, then a Hudson Broadcast or JHS Colourbox v.2 would be a great option. Both do the preamp colour but the JHS has added eq options and transformers on both the di out and the 1/4” signal path. - you can hear what it does - but again no fx loop. I’m selling a Colourbox v.2 btw 😉 -
We all wanna hear about that Caveman Audio gear!

I’m down visiting family in Suffolk next month and would have driven down but you’re still to far away to make it happen for me. Shame 😢
