JPTR FX : JIVE – Saturation, Boost, Overdrive | Bass / Bass VI | theoandhispedals
Hi I’m Theo.
I play bass, often poorly. I love effects and started this channel as a way to document what I’ve owned.
On this channel we look at bass effects pedals, Bass VI, pedal combinations and getting specific tones.
Go check out my other channel where I focus on using effects designed for guitar on bass:

I love the Jive for my bass. I run it into my JHS Morning Glory as a boost with light gain and no diodes on and it produces the best and smoothest overdrive I have ever heard. You can’t get that sound out of any one pedal and bass players would kill for it! You ought to collaborate with Josh and put the Jive and the MG into a single box with multiple options! I’d be first in line to buy it and take it on tour with me.
I bought the Kaleidoscope reverb from JPTRFX and while it sounded pretty good,it quit on me shortly after a bit of playing. I contacted jptrfx and it took a while but finally I was sent a new unit . Guess what? That one also crapped out. So I contacted them again and again,but I've never gotten a reply, so now I have a $250 paper weight.
this could be good for me as i use the neve 542 tape emulator for my studio bass distortion and never can get something similar in my live board
Would love to compare it against a DOD bifet boost and the Wren&Cuff Phat Phuk B – a dirty boost kind of shootout 😀
I love the Flatwounds tones. Much fatness!
thanks for video…but this pedal sounds like a chinese garbage dumpster pedal…something the wetter bass guy would use
Just ordered one, wanna use it as a slightly dirty/saturated boost. Your video was fantastic! What voltage do you run it on? Also, do you prefer this to Saturn VI?
This sounds nothing like a signal hitting tape….
Love the jive! Have also been looking at the Jhs colour box for some time now, you mentioned they are similar but prefer the jive. Do you think the will pair up nicely? Or do you think it’s best to keep it simple was mainly wanting the colour box for home recording
Having actually worked with 2" tape this sounds nothing like tape saturation.
You’re getting sounds from your Jive that are slightly different from mine. Goes to prove that it’s really good at transmitting the character of the instruments you plug in. Cool review!
What strings on the axe brother
It doesn't sound flat – the clip is very soft so it's bark is more quacky – which I liked a lot on the bass vi with plectrum.
I way preferred that muff you did for drive…. HARD
Edit: the violin bass sounded pukka on low drive, really plummy.
This really doesn't impress me on it own, I wonder how it would sound at the end of a pedalboard with more signal hitting it
have you tried the Fairfield Barbershop by chance? I’ve seen the 2 compared before, but this seems to have a lot more options and a different type of distortion character. I go back and forth about whether or not to keep my Barbershop sometimes
