Active basses versus stompboxes

[gabson]

Hi i'm considering fitting an old Bartolini TBIBT preamp into my bass but im wondering if its safe to run my pedals after this new pre amp.

Is it safe to do? ie would i damage my pedals? theyre just guitar pedals as im mostly a guitarist. Iv never been much use at electronics....

what i use:
Ibanez tubescreamer ts9
and a Colorsound supa Tonebender.

they're both pretty simple circuits - not sure if they employ buffers or not - but i would most probably cry if i melted my tonebender.

any thoughts?


Thanks alot

I don´t think there´s any risk of damage

As far as I can remember the TS-9 is buffered and Tonebender isn't.

Either way adding a preamp to your bass will not increase the risk of damaging the pedals.

If this was the case, Bartolini wouldn't sell many of his preamps.
