Absolutely nothing! Fingers and a pick, that's it!

I figured adding a bunch of other pedals might be problematic. But I regularly play with a Boss NS-2, CS-3, and lately added a BF-3, so I'll try it on Sunday with those. I'll put the Cave at the beginning of the chain as weemac recommends.

Also, I just listened back to the video and it seems volume compression on the phone video is understating the effect. It was pretty noticeable in person.

OK, here's another thing, as I recall, it wasn't really clearly marked which side was the input and which was the output. Perhaps this is obvious to people who use pedals all the time? Maybe I had it hooked up backwards?
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I don't remember,but it may have been backwards from the conventional setup of input on the right side,,output on the left....

Or... Maybe since it's from Australia, I should have had it upside down...

It is as most pedals are: input on the right side, output on the left side.

Nice to see/hear the video, Jason. The effectiveness of the pedal is very apparent in it. :)

Dang. Then I still don't know what I did wrong other than not using a buffered input.

I'm pretty sure I had it plugged in the conventional way, input on right, output on left.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I had it that way too, but I can't really remember now. Maybe you can try it the other way around and see what it does...

Hey gang. So I'm ready to send the pedal on.

Eden, should I continue mailing this big box of stuff, or send you the knick knacks now, and forward the pedal in a smaller box?
