I have a question. I have a Crowther audio Prunes & Custard, which obviously sounds good. I was wondering though whether the Hotcake Bluesberry would work (or even sound good) with a bass?

I don't really want anything to explode so I'm scared to try.

This post sounds so tasty.

I think it's time for lunch.

I love constructive post responses!

A bass shouldn't fry a guitar pedal should it? I've put basses through guitar OD pedals before with no trouble. Sounds a bit different, but didn't seem to harm it...

Of course, I haven't proved the negative, so I bow to the wisdom of anyone who actually has blown a pedal like this.

Do I have to think of everything?

Most modern hotcakes have convenient jumpers to switch between normal/bluesberry and another to switch between guitar/bass on the circuit board.

Wow, really? I bought mine just over a year ago...

I used to use a hotcake to add a bit of grind to my bass sound. Though I only play clean these days I reckon it was the best sounding bass fuzz I've ever used.

I had a P&C for a while as well, but it never really worked for me.

You'll be off Paul's Xmas card list and on his shit-list now dude.

I hope not He puts it on a sticker inside the box on the new ones.

How can I tell if it has the switching thing you speak of?

take off the back cover - you should see two jumpers at the top (under the dials) Left side one is Normal/Bluesberry right hand side one is Guitar/Bass.

A jumper switch is three poles with a movable connecter connecting 2 of them. Change the jumper to the other two poles to switch it.

I have pulled off the back cover and there's a fat wad of blu-tak and a piece of card telling me what model number it is..

I'm trying to get the blu-tak off but its like rock...

Okay, my digging would have me believe that I do not have said switches...

jumpers on mine were above the blob/card. if you can't see jumpers then I guess your one is too early for this.

Damn.

Anyone got a newer one to trade for an older one? Mine's in perfect condition, I just want one that I can use for bass.
