Which leads me to two possibilities. Something's wrong with my bass pre (not likely as but possible), or someone messed with the internal trimmers on this and fucked it up. I purchased it second hand, so you I'm not sure if it was owned prior to that. Here at ILF though, it wouldn't surprise me. LOL.
With active bass, the pedal distorts and losses character. With passive bass it opens up and does not distort at all. I've had all your pedals and this is the ONLY time I've experienced any issues with my active bass using one. So weird.

I wanted to report back. I have since sold my Spectre and trade my MTD 435 for an Elrick which is passive active. Now I own a Spectre again because I wanted to try it in passive mode. I'm very happy to report it's fan-fucking-tastic with passive electronics. Kick on the active, instant distortion of the circuit. So it was my pre-amp all along. LOL! So annoying but at least I learned! Plus I'm finding I'm digging my effects in passive mode. So weird. I've been an active bass player for 20 years! Now I'm loving the passive mode! Makes no sense!
Great pedal though!!! I love it!
