New Pre-Amp day - Tech21NYC Sansamp GED2112 (from FX Pedal Rental)

[NancyJohnson]

@Tech21NYC You know the one thing I'd have loved with the GED would have been a bypass button.  It's not a gripe!

I can live with that hack of using a patch cable and the 50/50 button to run it in mono, but am wondering, does flipping the internal jumper do exactly the same thing?

Wife gone to bed, screwdrivers close to hand.

I just did mods on both jumpers...easy peasy.  Unit functions fine (each channel operates independently, but it outputs in mono) and as the function button now operates as a bypass, I can plug my dUg in permanently.  Just needed to do the ground lift on the GED and I'm set.

I'm unsure which order at this juncture.  dUg>GED or GED>dUg.  I might want to throw a BDDI in as well...

Funny he should go to all that effort to capture the 'Camera Eye' tone with a Jazz when he's got a Rick there too

Moving Pictures was when Geddy started using his J bass. Tom Sawyer was recorded with the '72 Jazz that he had picked up for $200

Indeed! And on the front pickup only as well.  I'm sure The Camere Eye was his Rick though.

I tried out a friend's new Squier Jazz the other day through my Dug preamp, front pickup only - instant Limelight! So good.

Front pick up on a Jazz, seems to be the way to go

It is if you want that Moving Pictures Geddy tone. He switched to both pickups on Signals though, and has been there ever since. Doesn't sound quite as good to my ears.

The tone on Freewill is my favourite. When you hear it isolated, it makes me happy 😋
