Curious how the wonderlove/you're doom combo sounds...

Spencer's prototype video on YouTube passes it through the WL. It sounds fantastic

 

[overbybr]

Holy crap, I'm a big fan of You're Doom! This little box is the fuzz sound I've had in my head; awesome!

Sweet. I can't wait until people start gigging You're Doom and report that it's as awesome live as Spencer's other pedals, because I bet it is. In any case, my GAS for fuzz is currently tempered, so I will not be Doom for the foreseeable future. As always...to be revisited.

Enjoy your You're Doom!

Enjoy your You're Doom!

I rehearsed with my band last night, and I've got a show tonight. Stay tuned!

I don't believe this has been posted yet. Excane rocking "Your Doom." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SAMqxsBI-o

 

[Saluki]

Club members: Just posted a "new" proton in the classifieds. Already have a wonderlove and I need some GAS cash for Your Doom!

 

[seescottrock]

SO. I'd like to get involved here. I have a "You're Doom" and Enabler in the mail right now. I'm putting together the raddest of all PT-JRs.

 

[overbybr]

I'm opposite. I have my PWNZOR as far at the end of the chain as I can have it. I've tried it up front and it doesn't work as well for me. But like Spencer, I can't really explain why.

I'd say try both, and you'll know which one works better for you.

5sg.

I just moved my comp to the end of my chain, right before my Enabler... It seems that my more dynamic pedals respond better without the comp preceding them.

 

[CTC564]

Maybe I misunderstand you...doesn't precede mean before instead of last?

It does indeed! What is being said is that dynamic pedals (in this case, pedals sensitive to changes in amplitude of the signal) can work more effectively when the compressor is not in front of them, as a compressor evens playing dynamics.

 

[CTC564]

Gotcha...thanks

I gotta try this

 

[Down_Low]

Getting the You're Doom is going to mean a reshuffle on my board. What do you guys think, You're Doom into Proton, or the other way around?

I always liked filtered fuzz more than fuzzed out filter. I say You're Doom into Proton.

I'm running Doom into Proton, and it's a fantastic sound

I get the best results with a filter as the last pedal in my signal chain.

So you run the wonderlove or proton at the end of the chain with the fuzz before? Do you run compressor then fuzz then envelope. I thought with the wonderlove you might run the fuzz in the loop. I am running my octave then fuzzes in the loop, then out of the loop I am running a compressor to my B7k then some delay and chorus.

He said earlier he runs the PWNZOR at the start of his chain

I go PWNZOR -> OC-2 -> Microtubes Vintage -> B3K -> You're Doom -> CE-2 -> Wonderlove. I change my board pretty often but this is what I've been using. With most fuzzes I would put them in the Wonderlove's loop but You're Doom preserves dynamics so it works fine outside of the loop.

If I'm taking a small pedalboard I go OC2 -> Microtubes Vintage -> You're Doom -> Proton.

 

[enjoi1018]

So Spencer, I've read quite a bit about You're Doom "preserving dynamics". Can you elaborate on this a little? I'm guessing what that means, but 1) I can't fathom how altering a signal would completely "preserve" original signal dynamics, and, 2) THINK I might understand how it works.

Unless this is a trademark secret ( ), I'm really like to be fascinated with how this works!

 

[Spencer!]

What I mean is that the input is much more sensitive to your playing dynamics than any other fuzz. If you palm mute, the tone of the fuzz signal will decay just like your clean signal would. It's more 'interactive' than most fuzzes which just slam the input through a big gain stage.

As for why the circuit behaves this way...I'm not really sure. It probably has something to do with the fact that You're Doom has less gain than most fuzzes and it instead clips the signal in a non-traditional way.
