Cave Passive Pedals, does anyone want a free test drive?

Bass players have all the fun.

Mr Cave makes pedals for guitars too! Check out his site!

The website is fairly out of date and many models are not made as production models, however if you reallty want something Heath can usually remember how to make it!

Last one on the list gets to keep the pedal? If so put me down ..... last.


Well, I am furthest West.

[antipodean]

Well, I am furthest West.

Or is that nearest East....? Actually, I am a candidate for that honour, Eden would have to travel almost right round the world to get to me, if he was travelling West! Travelling East would be considerably shorter......

[weemac]

It's going to be an interesting tour for sure. Once we have all of the names we can work out some sort of order..
Anyone else?

Hey Eden--I can't find anything about it on the site, so do you by chance know what the input and output impedances of a given Cave pedal will be? Being passive I would imagine they are both low Z but I wanted to verify.

This probably being the case a good caveat to everyone would be to put a favorite buffered pedal, like a DI box or in my case JPS' old Aphex Punch Factory, at the start of the signal chain... unless you use an active instrument. This should really enhance the signal, unless there is something to these pedals I am missing. I know there are passive DI boxes out (Radial) there so it's possible to have a higher input stage than output stage without adding power.

[iiipopes]

Sure. PM or email me. I just got back in from out of town for a week.

[jps]

Well, I am furthest West.

From where, Kira? I suppose, seeing as you plan to travel to Oz, to deliver a Strat to Greg, you may as well be last so you can then hand deliver the pedal BACK to Eden.

The Cave pedals will run with a buffer in front of them and indeed the "Grunt" pedal that will be touring is happy to work that way, however I have found that most Cave pedals work best being first in the signal chain with a passive bass...
What is important with Cave pedals is what comes after.....

I'll do a full Demo vid explaining it before it is sent out...

been looking for a boost for my bass.....was about to spring for the Taurus Abigar but I could put it off a bit for a free trial run.
I live in the Denver metro area so that is at least 2 of us in Colorado.

short answer....put me on the list.

[jdogric12]

Sure, what the heck, I'm in!

[marc61]

If the pedal is in the NY area, let me know where and when so I can see it in action

[qwezirider]

If it's not too late, Eden, I would love to give it a try. Thank you!

[weemac]

Not too late Bruce!
I have ordered a new pedal from Cave. Once I recieve it we will close the list and then try to work some order from chaos, we can get the tour on the road (or in an aeroplane)
What would be the best way to go Folks? East to West? South to North? Any suggestions?
