    There are a handful of decent mixer pedals out there, but I'd bet money that none of them are higher quality than the Wetter Box. Still, if you're looking, you might want to check out all the features before you decide. The Radial Mix-Blender, the Red Panda Mixer, One Control Mosquito Blender , and Lehle Parallel series pedals all do the same job, but all have different features. Still, I think the Wetter Box wins on feature, size and price that most players will want, including stereo operation.

  • @scottrand4857

    Pete, great video and truly awesome sounds. Its cool how that giant fuzz space warp tone inspired that chord progression.
    ONE REQUEST...and I'm not sure if Daniel is going to have to float you a few more pounds for this (I'm sure you would make it worth it)...could you PLEASE show the wetter box with overdrive AND distortion/fuzz pedals blended together? In my switching system that allows parallel routing of fx, if I try to use that parallel option with drive pedals, there is a phasing issue and instead of getting both tones together for a jaw dropping monster tone, I get a thinner uninspiring one. Is it possible for the Wetter Box to "fix" this problem? Thanks!!!

  • @erpringle
    @erpringle 5 років тому

    I wish all the success in the world for Dan, he's a great guy, but I'm tired of spending money and so much time on freaking effect boxes and stuff like that. I remember when a comp, chorus, and delay was all you needed. That along with a 2 channel amp, one for rhythm and one for lead and you were good to go. More time to practice what really counted, playing the guitar! Just seems like now a day's I spend way too much time on finding the lost tone. I think I'm gonna start spending more time playing guitar and worrying about the tone coming out of my fingers. Spending way too much time and money on gimmicks. No freaking boxes are gonna take the place of talent but a lot of people think they will. All you tone seekers keep seeking, I'm going back to playing my guitar. Good luck, and nice video Pete.

  • @trebleboost7

    Quick Question: How comparable would my Boss ES8 parrallel routing be to this? Even though I am happy with the AD conversion on my H9 I notice more coloration with my Source Audio Nemesis. (Funny thing last night during rehearsal I was frustrated with my sound. Every time I engaged the SA the tone went weedy and dropped. Sure enough I had it patched parallel accidentally but not 100% wet of course so was getting all that gnarly phase cancellation etc. Whew! Fixed that and back to good tone,)

  • @joebarkan
    @joebarkan 5 років тому

    Many time-based effects, e.g. delays and reverbs, don't digitize the entire signal, there's a dry path that stays analog. That's even true of inexpensive pedals like the Boss RV-6 or the TC Flashback. The H9 does digitize the entire signal, as it must to create certain effects, like Tremolo (and you probably wouldn't want tremolo in a parallel loop anyway). Regardless, it's pretty questionable whether or not players can even tell if the entire signal has been digitized by any pedal with quality A/D conversion (most of them nowadays, e.g. the H9 or a Line 6 Stomp FX). While there are uses for a variable parallel loop, "cleaning up digital-ness" is likely not a great justification for adding in this pedal for most of us.

    • @justingarcia7722
      @justingarcia7722 5 років тому

      Perhaps but I think there are a fair bit of players, myself included, who enjoy the way a wet/dry rig feels yet don’t have the means to gig with such rig. Having the option to keep that dry signal straight is really important for me as when I hit the note I want that initial attack. I do notice this with the h9 and hx effects and even my neo vent. That’s just me though so I’ll likely incorporate something like this into my rig

I've compared it directly to analog pedals and there's no difference -- in terms of tone suck (and that's when using a good buffer ahead of the analog pedals). And, in a (high-volume) band mix is when any minimal differences, if there are any, matter least.
