Just a bit of my experience / may help others in future with active basses / pedal issues?
So was going through my old pedals and what I can try and get rid of... I never got on with a few of them with my active basses however had changed my style from going nuts with the eq on my bass to setting it flat and then using my cog mini 66 as an always on pedal to get a bit of boost / overdrive. I then have this then run into all my current drive pedals with clean blend incorporated / liked being stacked so thought not much of it.
Tried my old flying tomato fuzz and thought wow this is noisy... and the supercollider got an aweful squelch / splat on the B and E strings... subdecay noisebox? Forget it.. so turned off the mini 66, set everything on the bass flat and everything was so much more useful. Still relegated the pedals to the I have no use for them pile but realising that some pedals stacked may not like each other / hot input... hoping this may help others if they end up on the massive quest like I do trying to find the perfect fuzz!
