[sfx] Micro Thumpinator

[bass4u]

I've been running the Thumpinator in this order:

Thumpinator -> tuner -> Markbass Mini Distortion -> W&C Phat PhuckB -> Mooer Sweeper -> Mooer Chorus -> VT Bass.

I just got an MXR Octave Deluxe and plan on putting it after the tuner. Should the Thumpinator be moved in my signal chain?

There's no "should". In my situation, it was the Fender TBP-1 preamp that produced these immense low end frequencies - therefore it was no use to put the MicroThumpinator on the pedalboard. As soon as I put it in the fx loop, the unwanted low end produced by the eq section is reduced significantly and the whole setup works perfect.
In the loop is also the dbx 160A, which is placed after the Thump because there's no need to compress those frequencies.

Works charming this way.

I'd find an effect where without the MicroThumpinator your cab just freaks out just like in the vid on the sfx homepage. Then try it with different positions and decide after.
That way you'll find the perfect signal chain. Do report what you've found out!

Thanks for the info. Excellent idea on finding out what scenario causes the speakers to "thump" where to insert the Thumpinator.

Anybody know current delivery times?

I asked when I ordered a few days ago and a new production batch is "in the next couple of weeks".

I'm guessing the more who order the sooner the production starts ...
