What's in your Wonderlove loop?

The Wonderlove is the latest addition to my board, so everything else was already there (in a defined order). It was just a question where to put the Wonderlove.

After some tests at different positions, I decided to have the Wonderlove first and then put all pedals that should be affected by the Wonderlove in the loop. This makes sure the trigger of the Wonderlove is working similarly all the time, whether using e.g. an EQ, a compressor or not...

The pedals included in the loop are:
Wampler EGO compressor -> Source Audio Programmable EQ -> T-Rex Octavius -> EBS WahOne -> MI Audio Neo Fuzz -> Wampler Ecstasy -> [sfx] Micro Red Dragon mk II. :bassist:
 
I've got a Proton, not a Wonderlove, but the Mastotron sounds great going into it.

Big fan of the Mastotron's gated goodness!

It lives in my Wonderlove loop with an OC2, which might have to be replaced by my POG2 since a) I decided to only use a Pedaltrain Junior, b) there's not enough space for the two of them, c) I need the organ-sounds in a couple of tunes and d) I hope that no one's going to notice the difference of the pure octaver sounds in a band-context (here, the OC2 is the obvious winner).
 
My mastotron has a permanent residence in the loop with either an oc-2 or boss syb-5 before it depending on my mood. The combo of octave and fuzz in the loop is probably one of the best sounds to ever come out of my amp. Back in my crazier days (ie last week) I had all the aforementioned pedals in the loop with the addition of a rainbow machine and a digitech xp300 space station. Things got weird but awesome.

To the person thinking about throwing a tremolo in there, I have a robot factory dual trem that I've tried both inside the loop and after the wonderlove and it sounds (to me) way better outside. I tried plugging the tremolo's lfo output into the wonderlove's expression in but either I was doing something wrong or the lfo output on my trem needs looking at. I haven't given up on the idea of having a trem pedal trigger the wonderlove though. ONE OF THESE DAYS I TELLS YA.
