MrDinsdale Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Just received this fresh Thumpinator v2 in black 🖤 I guess not strictly a pedal. Just need to decide where to place it now. My current signal chain is: Bass Tuner Longsword Model FeT Hyper Luminal GK Fusion S 800 The obvious choice is between the Tuner and Longsword but then again the Longsword does seem to sound ever so slightly better with a hi-z input so perhaps after? I'd try it out now but I'm on child duty, how are people using theirs? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I would consider it before or after Hyper Luminal. Choose the placement according to your ears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDinsdale Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Good shout. Will try it in a few spots before I settle on anything. It'll be interesting to see how/if it affects the drive and preamp. I've also noticed a lot of spikes and clipping on my head/interface despite pretty safe levels so will be interesting to see if it has an impact there too.

fretmeister Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Mine is last before the amp with my octave just in front. That way the thump kills all the subsonic crap from the octave. I stole that idea from Dusty Hill. He had a subtle always on octave to thicken his sound up and the thump stopped anything below a low A getting through. So he didn’t have to turn it off. this is basically my chain. For today anyway! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDinsdale Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Thats a cool idea, my signal chain is pretty dull in comparison, just various stages of gain, saturation and compression. Maybe ill jazz it up with a chorus or something down the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDinsdale Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Well I've managed to get a quick play and I've noticed a significant reduction in clipping which is excellent. Everything sounds super tighter but I'd have to A/B it to know if there's any audible difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDinsdale Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Also i do think after the Longsword and FeT is best but equally between the Longsword and FeT was practically identical. Before and after the Longsword was the only change where I'd say there was a noticeable difference, the Longsword just plays better with hi-z. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Rule of thumb, if it's all good going through the existing pedals then it will be fine at the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
