Tried dirt and fuzz both before and after. After always seems to subdue the effect of the wah, making it way more subtle than I want it.

I'll have to try that out tomorrow.

Yep. No strain constantly plugging and unplugging cables and the rest. A PSU stops batteries going into landfill. It's harder to nick a pedal board than a single pedal... I recently discovered that DualLock comes off pedals without leaving a nasty sticky residue, which is a bonus.

I found that, too, about removing DualLock. That stuff is awesome.

Do you know that Darkglass doesn't make any of their pedals for use with batteries? It's for your very reason.

Also makes setup and tear down way faster. That's the big benefit for me.

Not sure there's any good way to do that, other than going full-on digital.

Jon Stockman, for whom the Alpha-Omega was originally made, has multiple AOs on his board, for the situation you're talking about. I just have one setting and leave it at that. I guess I'm not as creative as others here.

I found something really great with not much effort, i leave it set at that also.

Sometimes you need a girdle for that thick tone, depends if the bird has been eating the tuna or the greens.
My only green pedal got taken out by the Tintedglass, it was a EHX Deluxe Bass Muff. But purple works for me.

Purple is them super foods like blåberries and that.

Oh hell yeah. Everything's already together and connected. Just plug the chain in and play.

The DG stuff is dead silent, no interference, or any noise of any kind.

And flangers! Can't forget those.

I'm having my tech combine a flanger and wah right now, actually.

Because I don't make enough obnoxious noise as it is.

That depends on how much you turn up your Drive knob. With my AO settings, it's dead quiet. The B3K made noise.

I get quite a bit coming in from my DG from time to time, but like I said, my area is notorious for RF interference.

When I bought my Parapedal, there was a Chicago Iron Pedalflanger (Tycobrahe clone. It's a Parapedal mixed with flanger) for sale too, I would have loved to get it but it was $500+
Let me know how that one turns out though!

 

[Dr_Feelgoood212]

Batteries are a pain in the @$$!! I can get them for free, but a good PSU is still cheaper in the end.

Got the drive set at about 2o'clock.

That's impressive, then. Mine's at about 10:00. My Blend is at about 2:00.

 

[JJR58]

My Blend is set at 10:00.

 

[BklynKen]

My Blend is set at 10:00.

I'd like to hear that.

Ken, you gotta come over, bring your bass.

Yes, I did know that.

 

[Korladis]

A lot of my pedals don't use batteries. Even my fuzz pedal.
