Cool, thanks.

Have played with it quite a bit since I last posted, really has a very tasteful sound; the combination of the filter sound and envelope response is well-balanced between 'open and airy' and 'thick and juicy'.

I still can't get over how fat it sounds to run a fuzz and octave in the loop. I've tried an Oxide, a pickle pie b, and a TAFM and they all sound different, but amazing. I love how I can kick on the gate footswitch on the TAFM (which increases the output), and not have to re-adjust the sensitivity on the WL. I've tried every pre packaged synth pedal on the market, and none of them come close to this. Throw in a little detune and a tiny bit of 5th up harmony and it is straight killer.

If this is as juicy as you say it is, you might persuade me to own my first dirt pedal. I've got a MXR BOD in the loop of my WL right now, and it's NICE. But if one more box will get me close to Moog epicness, why not?

Got any clips or a Youtoobers?

Definitely working on a YouTube of this. I'm starting to focus more on gear demo vids so this is a great idea. I will at least whip up a quick sound clip for you sometime this week.

The Wonderlove paired with a good fuzz and octave will get you a very juicy synth bass tone. Sorry for inducing the fuzz gas!

Thanks man! And save your sorries until I see a video....

Haha! I'm off tomorrow night, so I am planning on doing a few demo vids. Hopefully, this will be one of them. It's kind of mind blowing...

Guys what's the difference between running a fuzz in the loop of a Wonderlove, and running a fuzz into the Proton?

I've got the Proton, and this is my plan. Just wondering if I'm missing out on anything not having the WL?

M Sterling · #**807** 11-09-2012, 01:40 PM

The main advantage for me is that the fuzz signal does not affect the input to the filter. In other words, the opening of the filter still reacts to your clean input and the fuzz signal is applied as if it were first in the chain. There are other advantages, but this is key for me, so I can go from clean>filter to fuzz>filter without having to readjust the sensitivity. Either way, the Proton sounds great with fuzz so you probably won't miss the loop. The only way to know for sure is to get one and experiment!

Another cool feature is that it can act like a bypass loop where you only hear the effects in the loop when the WL is engaged. Or, you can have them turn on and off regardless of if the filter is on.

I guess whether that would be better might depend on the fuzz, though - i expect there must be a buffer between the pedal input and the send, which some fuzzes might not like..?

There is a internal switch for a buffer. When the buffer is engaged it allows you to use the pedals in the loop even when the filter is turned off.

I just got my Wonderlove yesterday and switched the buffer on for that reason. I found that my Photon Fuzz had no issues, but if I put my Hoof Fuzz (a Muff derivative), either in the loop or right before the filter in the chain, it basically stopped working altogether. Killed my signal almost completely.

Not an issue, because I wasn't planning on using the Hoof into the filter anyway, so I'll place it after the filter in the chain.

M Sterling · #**810** 11-09-2012, 01:55 PM

Yeah I keep the buffer on for that reason as well. I haven't had any problems with my fuzzes (oxide, Tafm, pickle pie b) in or out of the loop.

topo morto · #**811** 11-09-2012, 01:57 PM

What a thoughtful feature... must admit its existence had passed me by!

So I'm playing this benefit gig next weekend where there are three stages that each have a band theme....all bands have twenty minutes reach to play songs from a particular artist. I'm playing the Stevie Wonder stage. I read somewhere that Spencer is a big Stevie fan, and it shows.....it took me about three seconds to dial in a killer tone to cop the the synth sounds with the Wonderlove and a BYOC divided octave pedal.

Smallequestrian · #**813** 11-09-2012, 06:10 PM

Spent some time getting to know the Wonderlove today. Have the Markbass Octave pedal and the Photon Fuzz in the loop. Using the expression pedal with it in Bandpass mode with some clean blend going is giving me some really cool synth sounds. The new SA modulation pedal is adding some real crazy depth to the sounds as well.

Is the SA mod pedal in the loop or after the WL?

M Sterling · #**816** 11-12-2012, 05:52 AM

I shot a vid last night with an oc2, tafm, and polytope in the loop of the WL. Im gonna work on editing and uploading so it should be ready by mid week. The sounds I can get from this combo are super rad!!!

*edit* decided to keep the polytope out of the loop

I keep it after the dirt/filter section. I might try it in the loop at some point, but right now I like it where it is.

All of my modulation pedals definitely sound better out of the loop, after the wonderlove. Been lovin some wonderlove>polytope action lately.

Video is uploading now. Prepare for gas...
