Oh man, it gets along with the Proton? Awesome! I love my Proton, but I feel like it doesn't get along with other pedals that well- very fickle. But don't get me wrong, it's so dang juicy (like you posted when I first got it), and it sounds great in a band/live setting. And it should also be noted that the Proton gets along juuust fine on its own.
How has You're Doom been in the live/band setting?

Here ya go Matt- the schism selects between drive combinations-
The biggest question I get "why two tuners" ... One always live, one mutes- the sourceaudio filter is only for the hothand- the sansamp is pretty much my rig because I'm IEM 80% if the time. My sennheiser IEM is installed on bottom with a jack plate installed at front of the pedaltrain, just plug and go-
I've only had the chance to use it once in a live setting, and I hadn't had much time with it at that point. Adding to my misery that night was the fact that I couldn't hear myself in my monitor feed (IEM), so I didn't play with it too much.
I've got a show New Year's Eve that will let me stretch its legs now that I've toyed with it more, and Hysteria is on the set-list

I did some noodling. It's not very good playing from me, but it was quick to give you an idea. I also threw in some octamizer after the proton.
Just gave it a listen. Soooo dope. I'm gonna have to hold off for a bit as my board gets all settled in over the next week or so. I got a run of shows to close out the year, and I'll reevaluate my pedal and fuzz situation after that. Heh, look at me tempering my gas.
Band practice was awesome last night. Plenty of good things stuck in that little doom-filled box. I paired it with a B7k with just a touch of dirt, enough to make me break up naturally. Nice to go from clean to gritty to synthafuzzy. First "Fuzz" I've ever loved. I've been through several of what I consider "quintessential fuzz boxes" and they just didn't speak to me. No dynamics. Just plain LOUD. Defintely doesn't work for the church band, and even my rock band they never fit in. But this friends, this Doom we speak of, well This is different!! I can't wait to pair it with the Wonderlove! Fun stuff.
Just ordered my You're Doom pedal last night from BassEFX...this will be my 5th 3 Leaf Audio pedal...however, I may soon be selling my GR2 for a Proton V2
welp, I gave in. Just ordered one. If I like it better then my TAFM I'll sell that and keep the doom, and if not...be on the lookout for some DOOM in the classifieds

It's a smallsound/bigsound Team Awesome Fuzz Machine. And let us know pOk I might do the same thing.
That was very nice!
I have a duality on the way (it's currently on a plane), and I've been debating on getting a proton or not. Now I'm all confused!
Edit: ordered it, now a proton is now also on the way... I hope it sounds good with duality!
You're Doom shipped yesterday, along with a Red Panda Particle and a Boss MO-2 (in the mood for experimenting). Since it should work well in front of a filter I'll probably trade my Wonderlove for a Proton in order to downsize the live board.
Speaking of which - besides a "PWNZOR 2", I'd love to see a 3leaf proton-sized tuner with top jacks and a buffered bypass. The Pitchblack is the best I've found so far for display clarity but the bypass ain't great (got to put a buffer in front) and side jacks take up precious space.

Top-side jacks are the best! I know it's not always feasible, but with an elevated board (e.g. Pedaltrain) they save solo much space!
Received my you're doom and duality yesterday. I really like both pedals, but the you're doom is going on the board. The you're doom just feels right and is pretty different from the fuzzes that are out there. I would say it is most like my prunes and custard but without the phase/envelope thing that the prunes has going. I love the prunes too, but the you're doom just sounds better to my ear on bass. Both have a blends but prunes sounds thinner and the you're doom sounds like it was made for bass. The you're doom is really touch sensitive and works really with in the loop of the wonder love.
The Duality is a great pedal as well, but probably won't make my board. I compared it with my mastotron, DMB bumble, and oxide. The duality is really thick and chewy in the mids to my ear. Mids sound a little less defined with the filter knob from counterclockwise till about 3 o'clock then it opens ups some with some extra fizz of the filter. The gate side sounds good but it doesn't clamp like the TAFM (the best I have heard) or the oxide or mastotron.
Compared to the oxide, I like the duality better. The duality keeps more of the natural bass tone, and the oxide is pretty colored sounding. The Duality sounds closest to my DMB bumble but more chewy in the mids. Since I really like to hear the note definition (even with fuzz) my sweatspot with the duality is running it with blend between 9 and 12, after that it starts getting into face melting territory. It really gets crazy going into the B7k. Into the loop of the wonderlove I prefer the you're doom. It just works.
As a side note I would say the guess the B7k, the duality and the DMB Bumble are high gain pedals. They are the only pedals that have a noticeable noise floor when kicked on. When the blend on the B7k or duality is about 9 o'clock I don't hear this. On the DMB i have to turn the drive down to reduce the noise floor. All other pedals are dead silent. Just for reference I am using a puma 900, two very mid oriented Baer ML112s and skjold CS5. I haven't tried my Lull PJ5 through the board yet.
Lot of variable here folks, so take this with a grain of salt and do what works for you.

Nice review, Saluki, thanks!!!
Thinking of possibly picking up an Enabler and figured this would be a good place to start. Ok, here goes. I'm wanting a DI and quiet practice rig. The headphone amp seems great here, but how does it sound? Will I need to also buy studio headphones to get a decent sound? Does OD/Distortion pedals sound good through it, or is it just clean stuff? Does the DI color your tone? I've been searching reviews, and thought I'd come to the source. Anything postive or negative will help. Thanks for the input!
