I picked one a BF up recently on eBay, to use as an outboard compressor for my Arturia drum brute. Also, on occasion for my prophet 12 synth and an active bass guitar. However, even when pre gain and post gain are maxed the line signal is really low for all three instruments.

I’ve read this forum’s posts re problems with BF and passive bass guitars (i.e. impedance). I’m no tech but with this signal flow, I didn’t think impedance would be an issue with the drum machine or synth. Also, none of the reviews I’ve seen on line with a BF/ synth set up have highlighted any impedance or other issues that need to be considered in set up.https://19216801.onl/ https://routerlogin.uno/ https://192168ll.link/

I think the unit is faulty but before I file an eBay complaint I wanted to seek the views of forum users who use BF with a synth or drum machine? As advised, I’ve read the documented concerns about using this pedal with a passive bass.

As well as placing the pedal immediately after the instruments in the signal flow (i.e. drum machine>BF>UA Twin) I have also tried a hardware insert approach but both result in a low signal.

Any suggestions please? This is very frustrating as the pedal appears to have great potential.
