Pedal to consider

quinng

So this is by no means me trying to sell my company on everyone , but I build for KSR Amps and various other amps companies as a ghostbuilder. Mainly make high gain boutique amps and preamp pedals, but we also make a active EQ /boost pedal(Eros and Hera) . I just now thought of trying it with my krivo pickup straight into a powered speaker, I was quite impressed with it actually, active EQ level and gain controls, 3 way switch for bass response and 3 way switch for diode clipping, clean boost, gain boost. It essentially acts as preamp, definitely a easy quick solution for live playing.

I've also had some pretty good success running the krivo and the k&K pure macaferri xt together into a line6hx stomp .

By no means authentic GJ tone, but some wonderfully new jazzy tones, blending some reverb and light chorus to the XT and some subtle phaser and short delay on the krivo, really fun unique sounds. Love to hear about other people's tone adventures.

Very cool @quinng. No relation to Quinn amps? I've heard of the Eros Pedal of course over at TGP but never tried one.

At a rehearsal this weekend I tried my Altamira/Krivo through a channel of a Fishman Artist and it sounded nice, liked it a lot. The thing is normally I go through the Aux In of that amp with a Collings OM-2H, Baggs Anthem SL, pedalboard and ALiX Pre & bypass the Fishman Pre Amp and sometimes use the DI out on the amp if not my board. I wouldn't like the Krivo direct like that but in the room through the speaker was pretty decent but I'd probably never mic that amp so I dunno.

The Krivo through a Tweed Deluxe-ish - 12" speaker sounds great to me. I've tried that with all sorts of delay, mod, verb pedals. Vemuram OD-1 overdriven a little was really nice with it, surprised me but it's a magnetic pickup so....

and finally...you mentioned HX Stomp, I've been using it direct into a Native Helix/Princeton thing & it sounds nice also so very curious what the HX Stomp would sound like through a powered monitor. That's all I got. 😀

I use it with the hx stomp at least once a week a open mic and I'm always tweaking it , I also have line 6 pod express which is like a mini version of the hx stomp, bare bones. Fender twin preamp into a matchless 2x12 and little reverb with krivo does wonders. Sometimes I don't bring my stuff with me and the sound guy has a k&k pure preamp and I just plug the k&K XT into that then to the board and it sounds amazing , been thinking of getting one of those preamps and the internal macaferri mics and wiring it up on the inside . Not sure I can get my hand through the hole to attach the contacts under the bridge, there has to be a tool or a technique for that?

That pedal looks good. People ask fairly often about a clean boost and an eq pedal. To have it all in one plus a preamp is awesome. I just got me a Dooner EQ with a boost (I've yet to try it out. I also got a reverb pedal, a first for me. My preference has always been a dry sound but I noticed that playing live with the band, a touch of reverb sort of makes the sound wider.
