I'm doing the front end for my bass amp.  Does (my) Epic have a capacitor coupled output? What sort of impedance/drive does it have?  Can I get a drawing maybe?  Anybody?  Gracias.

Until one of the tech heads joins in, here's my layman's insight.
 
If the bass has the original Alembic electronics, on a regular bass amp they sound best through the Active, lo-impedence, input. They drive the average Passive input just fine too, but it will sound a little muffled.

It's got the stock Epic electronics package which I like very much.  I'm guessing 500-1000 ohms (and maybe 10-50pF) to ground is good at the amp input but I'll go lower if I can.

This applies to plugging straight into the amp but what happens when you plug into a pedal for instance?

Just plug it it in and adjust the pre gain..can it be any simpler???

oujeebass

good answer..I was just checking, keeping everyone on their toes.

Forget it.  I'll just measure it myself.

Roughlight - Yeah sorry about screwing up your thread. It becomes an ego fest on this board very quickly.
