Re-discovered my love for the Proton recently. Was having trouble with getting the filter to open and close how I wanted it to, and it had been replaced by a Filter Twin. But, positioning the Proton earlier in my signal chain helped me bring out the best in the Proton by getting it closer to my playing dynamics (duh). It was sounding so good last night! Had the funk face going all night long....
What I also noticed is that I always had problems running it after the B7K and/or VMT Deluxe (used as a mild always-on overdrive). It just didn't react that well (or maybe I was just to dumb to adjust it right).
It's totally your fault. Look what you did, I hope your proud of yourself.
I was running the darkglass VMT after the Proton last night and was loving the combo together. For me dirt usually works best after a filter. OC-2 > Proton > VMT got me into some pretty gnarly territory!
Stoked, I have an Enabler on the way. It's going to make practicing for fill-in gigs SO much easier.
Ok. So here is what I have set up right now, but I am constantly adjusting it based on how I am playing, the song, the weather, my beard length, just always adjusting it. But it is:
Input about 2 o'clock
Gain about 11 o'clock
Attack about 1 o'clock
Ratio about 12 o'clock
But like I said I am constantly changing my settings so it'll be different tomorrow.
Viking, I'd be interested to hear what the rest of your setup is... I run my input and gain significantly lower for unity volume, but my main basses are pretty high output. Are you using the PWNZOR to boost your signal?
My settings:
Input: 9:00
Gain: ~9:00
Attack: 1:30
Ratio: 10:30
Vintage switch down

I do the same, except with an MXR BOD instead of the OC-2. Works very well. Proton to VMT does a fantastic job of copping that Sir Psycho Sexy tone.
Yeah, I am running it at the start of my pedalboard, first pedal after tuner, and I am using a 70s Gibson grabber and a rickenbacker, both have pretty low output when compared to other modern basses.
I'm at unity gain at around 9 as well, but I use my PWN to boost a bit.
I agree with Jedi, my comp changes every day. Right now, it's at:
Input - 10:00
Gain - 11:00
Attack - 2:30
Ratio - 10:30
Vintage switch up
I'm getting some INSANELY punchy tones, right now. Really Mike Gordon-esq. It should also be stated that when I adjust mine, it's often barely touching one of the knobs. Ridiculously small increments.
Love it!
Just received a Proton in the mail this week, and I'm having a great time with it. My board is in rebuild mode at the moment, so I've just been getting used to it alone so far. All the funk I remember from the Mu way back when and more!
What do people think of the You're Doom? I want some kind of fuzz...

It's great. your playing dynamics really affect the tones you can get out of it, so it's fairly flexibly. And can do a great old-school synth effect tone quiet well too.
This! I use it in both my 12-piece 70's funk cover band and the 15-piece urban gospel outfit I play for. I use it in front of my Proton for synth stuff, and by itself for low-to-medium gain dirt. Like Down_Low said, it's quite flexible with more than dynamics. I use it for subtle overdrive style dirt, but it can do a pretty thick fuzz too.
It took me a while to get comfortable with it as I'm not normally a fuzz guy though. I kind of had to work to wrap my head around how I could use it and then get it dialed in. Now that I've got it though, I'm not sure I could go without it on my board...?

Octabvre artwork on the FB page...
From the new BassPlayer Tim Lefebvre interview "3Leaf Audio has made me a custom Octabvre box with a "sub" solo button, so I can get my 808 sound without having to bend over and turn knobs. It has the sine wave of the OC-2 and the Mu-Tron Octave Divider"
Is there a way to hear that "808 sound" on YouTube? I'm not familiar with Tim Lefebvre's material
