The Direwolf is going to need an amp

Hollis:  
 
  If you go through the F-X1 first, you should then go through the back input on the SF-2 to bypass its pre-amp stage.  Alternatively, I guess you could switch the internal switch to set the pre-amp at 0db (it can be set at either 0, 10 (factory setting) or 20 db).  
 
Bill, tgo

Thanks Bill.
 
That's how I'm running through my rig, but I get a little lost when I'm chaining through a combo amp.  It's so much more straight forward through separate pre-amp to power amp to speaker cabs.  Know what I mean?

I'd really suggest you look at Mesa's Walkabout Scout, available with a 12 or a 15.  I never thought a passive radiator would work in a bass amp, but there I go thinking again ...  Cool looking, Mesa's terrific tone and construction, not something you see every day.
 
Eden I believe has recently re-done the Nemesis line, so you might investigate. They recently were acquired by the holding company that owns Washburn, so the usual cautions about companies changing hands whould apply.

Joey- I have found that a passive radiator can work well in a bass cabinet.  My big rig has 2 old Thomas organ cabinets with the internal amp and high driver removed and then tightly sealed.  The drivers are JBL D140 and passive JBL 15.  I blew one of the JBL D140s and replaced it with an Eminence Omega Pro 15 which works well.  I occasionaly use an octave doubler and get a clean A below low E on my Eminence.  I will try to get off my lazy butt and send some pictures soon.  Michael
