So do you get a parallel set of dry/octave/fuzz to mix between, or does the fuzz or octave completely cover the dry line? When I had a Redwitch Zeus I asked them if they could make the two effects parallel instead of series and they said they didn't plan to ever do such a thing, but this seems like it would be akin to that, if the two switches are for fuzz and sub (can't tell what "energy" is doing)

So on the prototype, the octave down comes first but there is a dry blend around the octave down. You can independently control the dry/octave down blend going into the fuzz and the clean blend around the fuzz. So for the prototype you can have controllable mix octave down for the overall dry signal and a controllable mix octave down on the fuzz.
I found that having the fuzz have octave down was not very useful so for the next rev I will dump that off the controls.
I had that one for a while. It wasn't as responsive as I would have liked for bass. I was just wondering if the change in the EQ was big enough to validate having a Wraith and a VT.
Wraith has the base RAT circuit in it so the first idea would be to say do I like a stock RAT on bass rather than if the EQ is worth it.
I know the classic HM-2 does that "thing" when you dime the EQ. I wouldn't be doing that. So, does that not make it worth it?
Well what I meant more on the Wraith was that if you dont already like a RAT on bass, its not going to be improved by the HM-2 EQ. Now if you like a RAT on bass then the EQ might be useful if you can find some useful settings.
I designed the pcb and was part of the development of the circuit. What do you wanted to know?
Yup. Love mine. It’s lovely for going direct. It’s got a real subtle tone shift, but stays pretty true to the incoming signal. It seems like it brightens up a little and the lows might roll off just a hair, but nothing significant. I’m assuming it’s a bit of compression from the tube doing this, but I’m not 100% sure. It feels more lively to play through, like a “real amp.”
I’m very satisfied using it as an always on pedal, going direct into a OmniCab and mixer. I’m using it at home for practice and recording, and haven’t tried it in a live band setting. I have run my synths through it as well. I’d certainly recommend it if you can afford it.
I've been running a phat phuk B into my tube heads and in front of various EAE and Dunwich dirt pedals for so long. I'm interested in swapping the phuk out for the edison. Perhaps just for variety, who knows.
There is a little bit of low roll off and there is a little bit of high end roll off. The gain is fixed and what you are controlling is the output level via the pot.
It’s not as gritty as the Phat Phuk B. The Phat Phuk B cuts more low end than the Edison, based on my experience running synths into each box.
I don’t hear the high end roll off at all when going through a cab sim. I can’t say I notice it without a cab sim. Do you know where about the roll off starts? I’d expect north of 5k. I don’t think most bassists are going to notice it.
ah thanks. When I first got the phuk (use it as always on, will be doing the same with the edison), I maxed out the internal bias to get more dirt, I was into moar moar moar gain and dirt then. I've found I'm enjoying a tad less gain with what I'm doing now, and using my technique more to control the gain, varying on dynamics, etc. That said, I'm interested in that aspect of the edison and also curious about less bass cut than the phuk, which I didn't think had much bass loss. I do find myself missing the large box da120, that had a special tone when pushed with the phuk B, the smaller version just doesn't have quite the same je ne sais whatever. Would love to push one with an edison.
yea fairly high, I dont expect bassists running into it to notice.
