And FWIW, Sonny may be brushing a snare tonight, but he's got plenty of S/D bass cred of his own, having just wrapped up a stint as Goya's touring bassist. That had to be a fun time.

Dang. I know BAT teamed with DOD for a distortion pedal as well. People on Church facebook were bashing him pretty hard and it was pissing me off.
Ryan also announced he was going to do pedals full time. Orders are backing up and he sees no other way than to take care of business. As of March something, he's going to retire from his teaching job.
Good for him. Hope people don't bash him too...
So since this is becoming the main stay in ultimate bassdom (wet/dry mix), how do you guys feel about two setups versus a wet dry mix knob? I'm sure it's no comparison, but when I tried the bass big muff, it didn't have a natural feel to the mix knob. Like once you cranked the mix, the muff tone got real nasty ( not in a good way). Anyways, it didn't work for me. I always thought a dual rig Would be the most ideal arrangement, but haven't really had cash to go amp shopping. But, one set for clean, by clean I mean just a bit of grit, and the other with effects. Or, should the different effects go to the diffetent cabs? Is there a science to this?
Yes this is the way to go. At least the Hex Volt way to go. I send my P pickup through some mild OD to a cleanish amp rig and a bass cab. I send the bridge pickup to two guitar amps with lots of preamp tube distortion and on to guitar speakers, but it's a two-piece so I have no restrictions on how much space I can fill
just splitting a single signal, one cleanish, one fuzz, to two different amps, should work fine. You'll have to lift the ground on one of the amps, or get some sort of pedal that has isolation transformers though. Otherwise you'll have massive ground loop hum. And pay attention to phase so your not canceling out your bottom end. Let me know if you want more details.
They will bash him (unjustifiably) because people are scumbags and they love to bring good people down to their level. Also because apparently the term "sellout" still hasn't died and said scumbags will make sure to milk its use until the next poopy slur gets imagined.
I'm all for Ryan working with Dunlop if it means he can support his pedal-making full time, make an even bigger name for himself and continue pumping out quality pedals. I really fail to see how this is a remotely bad thing for him or his customers. More power to him.
Ryan had a face book question a while back what mods folks wanted to see the most. I piped in that clean blend would be at the top of my list. Wet Dry mix is another way to get the same.
Think about it. Not many of us are going to schlep two rigs for a 45 min slot at a gig. We must get the most out of our stack of choice and have the tone shaping options on board to make it work.

I'm all for the boutique builders teaming with big names. Might make some of the boutique stuff more available eventually, because around here, there's none of it. I have to try to get what I can from vids before I buy. Love to try some in person first! And frankly, the DOD Boneshaker sounds awesome! I might just have to pick one up. Love my Pharaoh, and old DOD stuff. Sounds like a match to me.
I basically take two rigs now. I'm one amp and a splitter away. And a cable...
25 more hours of work then I get a day off. Think I am going to piss off my new neighbors.
i'm all for the little dudes working with the big dudes. obviously nick needs to team up with Behringer now.
yeah i super don't like blend knobs. dial the amps in Entwistle style (amp 1 full bass/no treble or mids, amp 2 full treble/mids and no bass).

Is that tonight? That's in walking or driving distance. Not good pizza though.
What's a wet/dry vs a clean blend?
Look at it as a volume for effected signal and a volume for the clean signal... Gives a little more flexibility than clean blend.
Clean blend being a mix of both on one pot, one side of the pot is mostly effected signal and the other side is mostly clean.
Not going to happen for me unless someone else is schlepping my gear. So pretty much not going to happen.
Break them in well mon.
Ryan had input it might not suck. It kinda sounds like a knock off rat tail.
What's one of those sheehan things worth? I've seen a few lately at various prices.
