A PT Pro is cool for worship, right?

Yes, the MIDI out can be set to "merge" although it doesn't always play nicely if you agree using an LFO MIDI output.

Last night, before going to bed, I went in the bathroom. I closed the lights, lit a candle, and repeated "User Defined LFO" three times as I stared into the mirror. The neighbour from across the street's house burst into flames.
You have many neat things. Care to give some insight on the NightWire? I was looking at that and the Grand Orbiter for a long time, but demos are slim. Went with the Orbiter, because I'll use phase more than trem. Still, that thing seems very unique. Spatial Delivery is also on my short list of filters to try...
The main reason I grabbed a NightWire was the attack dependent tremolo speed; love the slowing wobble as the note fades out. The Spatial Delivery is the simplest filter to use that I've had (not that I've had many) and the sample and hold sound fascinates me.
Clone attack. Most of the PCB's purchased through GGG. Some are modified for better bass response. DOD 250, Way Huge Red Llama, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Proco Rat, EHX Big Muff, Super Fuzz, and Brassmaster. Transistor issues with the Jumbo Tone Bender I am assembling, haven't figured out the issue with the fuzz face though. Next project will be an Echo Base.
Update: just messed with the transistors on the jumbo tone bender and it fired up. God that sound is good. When I get it and the fuzz face working flawlessly I'll have to make a video comparing all these classic drive circuits on bass.

Sort of. When I did it this way the clock worked fine as fast af I could tell but the LFOs were not great. I stopped doing it this way.
Heading out to a psychedelic garden party gig with the Ants With Egos with current pedal board configuration.

The Spaceman tremolo has that same envelope fuctionality on the trem. It's a super cool function.
Small update, and I downsized from the PT-3 to the PT-1...Tired of lugging a "big board" to my gigs. 
I actually had to use a jig saw to trim out a section about 1" X 10" on the second row to accommodate the back connections on the ES-5.
I took off a couple of drives, and my reverb (wasn't using verb as much as I was hoping).
I was hoping I could drop the BDDI too, mostly because I love the tone of my new amp (with no pedal pre needed)...but after this weekends gig where I played on a "provided backline", I was VERY glad I had the BDDI...now it's staying, but will remain "off" until needed.
I added the American Loopers patchbay & the Empress Comp (what a super nice compressor), plus I'm running the HPF in the side chain (per Empress suggestion), so far, I'm digging that....I'm pretty stoked about the 3 channel patchbay too, I used one channel so that I can control my amp with my ES-5...loving that!

Question on your sidechain setup in your empress? I use a HPF to roll off the boom for synth pedals and octavers. If you run it in the side chain do you run your compressor at the end of your chain?
Yep, pretty much last, the only thing that's after it is my BDDI, which is basically doing duty as a DI at this point.
