Wow. I used mine happily with quiet passive basses and really hot active basses. The gain works just fine.

Sorry you had such a bad experience.

 

Yeah, the gain wasn't a really a problem on mine, and not a volume drop other than certain settings: 

 

"I think for the Band Pass has some decent sounds if Range is set 'low', but for me the gain needs to be low to get a decent sound with the drive set 'up' - meaning the output is quiet. Drive 'down' can sound good if peak is set low and gain high, then it has a decent volume and nice squish, clean blend with it would be useful though."

If it's anything like my my old original Musitronics Mutron III it inverts the phase, so a clean blend can actually make things worse, unless you have something like the Xotic X-Blender that has a polarity switch to flip it back again!
