Catalinbread WIIO bass sound clips inside

I know WIIO is not as popular as some other pedals, so searching for actual sound clips for it is a bit hard (besides the two on the Catalinbread site), so I made a few.

All playing is sloppy and I apologize for it.

The Gear is my frankenfender P bass (Alder body, allparts RW P neck), Bill Lawrence Wilde pickups P46 and J45(long) into Tascam MP-BT1 (Basstrainer - just to bring the signal to soundcard level) into soundcard, recorded with Audacity, no polishing or anything else on it. Strings are Fodera Nickel 45-105, more than 6 months old.

Those are some great clips! I think you nailed the Live at Leeds tone (which I love). I've not heard too many bass clips of the WIIO. I'm a big time Hiwatt junkie.

The new Catalinbread RAH looks pretty cool as well:

Bridge pickup on my Frankenfender P+J - (Bill Lawrence J45 Long) tone pot wide open.
Treble and Bass 12 o' clock
Gain and Master at 11 o clock

Those are my usual settings except treble is at 3 o'clock.

Any requests for other clips with WIIO?

That explains the growl. Sweet tone. Thanks ... except for the GAS.
