How does the Doom2 compare to the original Doom? I mean, is it completely different, or just subtle things? I tried a Doom and it wasn't what I was looking for. But, the Doom2 is so in demand and I don't know if I should be on the look out for a drop on the 3 Leaf site.

•You're Doom/Doom - No Crossover, just a dry blend control, so your clean signal is uneffected and full frequency. Sounds like two distinct signals Clean + Low Gain Fuzz.

•OG Doom 2 - Has a Crossover built in to retain uneffected lows and apply the effect to the the frequencies above the crossover point. Sounds like one cohesive effected signal rather than a dry signal + fuzz signal. Does low-gain synth tones ridiculously well. The low-gain synth tones are more pronounced with this one than with either the original Doom or the Revoiced Doom 2. Some might go so far as to say it does them even better than the current revoiced version. Although setting the mids higher can bring it into the same tonal realm as the revoiced version.

•Revoiced Doom (2023 Forward Releases) - Crossover Frequency is set higher than the OG Doom 2. It has more of a Mid range presence. Cuts a little better in a mix. Still does low-gain synth tones extremely well, but can also fill the role of a more traditional fuzz in some settings.

Ultimately the differences between the OG Doom 2 and the Revoiced Doom 2 are quite subtle, and if you're wanting a pedal for low-gain synth tones either voicing will get you there & in a nutshell the Doom 2 (either voicing) is in my estimation the single best tool for the job.

Also something to note is that if you have a Doom/You're Doom and you like those tones, the "You're" setting on the Doom 2 will allow you to get into the realm of those tone as it eliminates the crossover. To my ears there are still differences between the Doom vs Doom 2 "You're" setting, but that may ultimately come down to the difference in the tone controls. The Doom has a mid switch that sets frequency centers and a single tilt style tone knob. The Doom 2 has a Low, Mid, and High knob providing for much more ability to carve out the frequencies you want to hear. Alternatively, if you have a Doom and you don't like those tones, know that the Doom 2 is a significant step up and corrects for what you likely find deficient in the Doom/You're Doom circuit.

I use
BOSS Chorus
BOSS Octave
BOSS tuner/power supply
No name Looper.

And the "Vintage" button on my Rumble 500

As far as the octave and the chorus go I don't use them too much... but occasionally. I rarely used the looper unless I'm messing around at the house.

I use cords. And the effects loop.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like the Doom2 would work better for me than the Doom I had. I know that the batches are going to get bigger, so I'm going to keep an eye on it.

I go this far. The more time I've spent with both versions of the Doom 2 (original and revoiced), the more I prefer the original (pre 2023).

I'm thinking of all the money I spent on pedals trying to get a quasi-synth tone. I could have probably just gotten a synth. :D
Just when the Stomp GAS cleared up....Haha.

I have enough collected pedals that I could pretty easily sell a few and fund the Subsequent 25. I'm pondering buying one and donating my main church. We have three WL's but one is a pedal geek and would love to get this and would likely work it into the equipment set-ups. We have been doing a few Brooke Ligertwood songs (playing Bless God this Sunday) and I watched some of her videos this morning and noticed a Moog up there with the bass player. Suddenly I'm seeing this thing frequently!

Definitely seems to be a trend. Anecdotally, one of my friends that plays for a local mega church just got a Little Fatty. A Moog wasn't even on my radar before that but now I'm gassing after one.

If I had a Sub25, I am confident that the WL would base some of the programming/set list around the synth sound. It certainly would be used even if the current song list isn't super synth heavy.
But, then again, I may find myself in a situation where I'm playing less and less bass guitar.

Me too. I used to play keys/pads/B3 before I switched to bass guitar, so getting this Moog thingy would be a natural blending of tools for me. I'm rationalizing, now?

I mostly don't want to haul a Moog around and deal with set-up, so donating one to my big church checks a lot of boxes.
