Owen Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I have an Audere preamp which has a kind of addictive low impedance switch on it. It is pretty addictive. I know nothing of the inside stuff. Is this do-able without using an Audere? Some sort of passive jiggery-pokery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Technical blurb from Audere here: - [url="http://www.audereaudio.com/TechDetails.htm"]http://www.audereaud...TechDetails.htm[/url] A passive varitone control does something similar using a stepped tone control with different value capacitors: - [url="http://www.certainbass.com/varitone.html"]http://www.certainba...m/varitone.html[/url] - [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/tonefiend/guitar/a-modern-vari-tone-alternative/"]http://www.seymourdu...ne-alternative/[/url] I have an Audere in my JO4. Great little preamp IMHO and the z-mode adds real body to the sound. Yes it can be addictive! But I love the punch and clarity of a jazz so tend to use it on the 'standard' z-setting most of the time.

Owen Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 I shall bring life to my own thread. Does anyone (or could anyone) put something together which would do this Low-Z thang that I could plumb into a passive or an active bass? Like that bit of the Audere which I REALLY liked. I know that an active pre will be buffering the pickups so where to put the new bit in the signal path would be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
