Cave Passive Pedal "RFF Tour" begins!

[cjj]

Ohh, maybe Joey will have it in time for the jam. Then a bunch of folks can try it out.

Unfortunately no. It arrived where I work today, but I took the day off. Too much to do to get ready for tomorrow's jam and a gig with Dirty Bison on Sunday.

That certainly is unfortunate. What a missed opportunity.

+1!

Bruce, that sounds like something the Dos Equis man would say at the end of the commercial!

Oh hell, I didn't even notice that! It just slipped out.

[rickenbrother]

False alarm. The package that came for me Friday was work related. Glad I didn't rush there for nothing.

[rickenbrother]

Okay, I have it now!
I'll try it in 3 different bands this week. Too bad my next gig isn't until Sept 13.

Update bump?

[woodyng]

Just got it today....will try it out this weekend!

[qwezirider]

And up the coast she goes!

[rickenbrother]

If anyone was wondering why it took so long to get to Woody, he was away on vacation. So I waiting until he was home to accept it, before shipping it.

[JakeK]

How did you like the pedal, Joey?

[cjj]

Yeah, we thought you were just having such a great time with it that you didn't want to give it up!

So, what are people's impressions so far? Or should we wait until a bunch more people have tried it so as to not influence anyone's opinions?

[rickenbrother]

For a passive pedal with simple controls and a tiny footprint, I thought it was great for getting a boost or overdrive and back. It didn't mess with the tone of my Ricks or other bass guitars, like many active pedals do. Great for dynamics within a song or for different songs. I DIDN'T want to give it up, but I had to!
I'm considering getting one if the cost with shipping is reasonable, especially since I've been so busy with 3 bands. Maybe a 4th one soon.

[weemac]

Shipping from Australia to the States is usually very reasonable and Cave do not over inflate postage......

Okay,i have fiddled about with it,and I think we should rename this pedal "Little Wonder". It adds just a soupcon of grit and boost in a very musical way,and the fact that there's no power needed is a modern marvel. The case is also very cool,both for the tiny size of it,and the industrial-chic metal construction. I really like it! It isn't a raving hyperdrive type of unit,but it gives a tube-ish bit'o'grunge to basslines,i thought it sounded nice for bluesy playing,especially.

And i now have managed to upload a few quick demo videos to youtube on the "DeeshBassChannel". The videos are titled Cave Demo,Cave Demo II,and Cave Demo III. I am sure there is way to link that here,but i dunno what that is. ...anyone?
Also on that bat-channel,there are some older videos from my Snapshot band playing at a Christmas show,if yer intristed.
