PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

[gustobassman]

I had a V3 for a couple weeks, and I dug the sound a lot. It can do bubbly, springy filtering or fatter darker sounds with a little tweaking. The down sweeping is great on it too, though I don't use 'down filtering' much. That said, I read reviews about folks getting lost in the live mix occasionally - presumably due to the lack of blend/volume control. I'm sure that depends on the settings you settle on as well, but I decided that I could get the same tones out of the WL with a lot more options. So I stuck with the bigger form and sold the Proton. I honestly thought it was more versatile than the JoshWah, though it doesn't have the built in grit. That said, I've got OD and Fuzz to push through filters if I need that. So it wasn't a deal-breaker...

Thanks for posting this. I may reconsider the V3. I might have to check out the Wonderlove. I really liked the Filter Twin - but, I needed a 2nd compressor just to keep everything evened out.. seemed like a waste of boardspace.

Between the blend and gain knobs on the WL, you'd have zero issues evening out levels/presence once you find the sound(s) you're looking for.

Win for most TB greatest hits on a pedalboard. I bet you get some killer sounds....

That's the cherry on top.

Spent a little time re-Tetrising. I'm committing to the PTJr, so I had to reorganize it after throwing everything on the other day.

I transferred my input and output blocks (1590a enclosure under the left and right sides with a pair of jacks in each) over from the Novo 24. These are so I don't have to have my first and last pedals first and last.

Dingwall Super P5 > Input > Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor > Broughctave > Bass Whammy > v2 Fifth Gear > Big Game F800B (PCB by Dunn Effects, enclosure by some other guy) > Valvecaster > Bub Muff! (Madbean Mudbunny, Green Russian spec, with 3-way mids) > Joshwah > Crybaby Mini Bass Wah > Polytune > MS100BT > Output > BG250 or Scarlett 2i2

The two things I want, but won't be able to fit, are a Brassmaster (my GGG version is dead) and the ATE v2. Unless Digitech makes a Bass Whammy that doesn't have the exp. pedal built in... Like a Ricochet, but with exp. control and all the Bass Whammy intervals (hint hint @DigiTechRep)

Can you explain why your tuner is where it is in the chain? I'm new to using a bunch of effects but I never considered putting the tuner anywhere but first, to get a clean signal.

 

[J Posega]

I like it to mute at the very end of the chain, in case there's any buzz or hum in the rest of the rig. I turn off any pitch effects before tuning.

Latest version of my Nano. Used for IEM, and in front of supplied SS backline. More about tone than effects.

ALtoids tin?

ALtoids tin?

To hold all the picks I don't use.

Excellent.

 

[Somnambulance]

To hold all the picks I don't use.

Excellent.

I feel like you're severely underestimating the toan potential in an Altoids tin.

 

[nshuman]

To hold all the picks I don't use.

Excellent.

Or to hold Altoids. All the hipsters using them for picks will look at you like you just reinvented the Altoids tin.

No, they'd just say, "What are Altoids"? Not sold here.

So sad that Altoids aren't available in Mordor
