That wasn't my direct intention, though it may be something that happens eventually. I would have to find a pretty slamming deal on an upright to make it worth my while though I think. Until then I can lean on people in the community that already have them around.

I'm super close. I was waiting on circuit boards for HWUA, HW Slampegg, HWLR, and Glass Butterfly, all of which arrived yesterday. I was also waiting on transformers for Finally, which arrived today.
- All Slampeggs are soldered up, boxed and tested. They just need knobs and LEDs, then they're ready to go.
- All Lab Rats are soldered up, boxed and tested. They just need knobs and LEDs, then they're ready to go.
- All Glass Butterflies are soldered up, boxed and tested. They just need knobs and LEDs, then they're ready to go.
- All Finallys are soldered and boxed up, and the 1/4" outputs have been tested. They just need transformers and XLR outputs to be tested, then they're ready to go.
- One HWUA has been boxed up and tested to verify the new board layout, I still need to put together two more boards.
Mmkay, I have to stop for the night now. I have band practice tomorrow and I forgot there's a new song I still haven't learned, so I need to get on that. All HW Slampeggs, HW Lab Rats, and Glass Butterflies are now fully ready to go. The HWUA boards have been assembled and just need to be put into the enclosures. The Finallys have transformers installed and just need the XLR outputs tested.
And then I can rest for the holidays
And then I can rest for the holidays
the finally will be very useful for me.. and the LPF before everything may well be the best way.
i’m 80% upright and i also play a ‘63 fender bass.
i didn’t mean finally, i meant furthermore.
I'd recommend the HPF (to clean up the bottom end) at the beginning of Furthermore's chain, and the LPF (to clean up high frequency noise and such) near the end.
HPFs are generally used at the beginning of bass pedal chains to reduce boominess before adding other effects and tone handling.
Or….. HPFs are generally used at the end of bass pedal chains to maximize speaker protection/ optimization. Also true.
It can be either. I like the HPF last so that the full signal of my instrument goes through all the pedals and tone shaping. Then, at they very end I use the HPF to limit the low frequencies. The amount and frequencies limited can depend on the amp/cab you are playing through, or the room or the other instruments you are playing with or ... So whatever works for you I say.
An HPF will "work" in either location, but it doesn't make much sense to me to put it last.....why would one want to bombard all the pedals along the chain with frequencies that are too low to be useful?? My octave pedals in particular prefer it to be placed before them.

A ? for the sushi hive mind: I will be shaking up my boards, and am wondering if my 1 Spot block power supply will work if I run a dual tube Sushi box (More or Glass Butterfly that needs about 500mA after warmup) off the 500 mA feed and a single tube box off of one of the 300 mA feeds. I realize they will be slow to warm up, but am wondering if they will perform to spec?? I will not be buying a 2nd CIOKS 7 supply, so the 2nd board has to run off the 1-Spot.
OK, there seems to be different answers so, I guess I will have to experiment!
As always it comes down to opinions* and in the real world what works best in each situation.
