Thanks again for explaining things so simply. Can i ask why you have the WA12 and the TB12, doesn't the TB 12 do what the WA12 does?, i ask because i am about to buy my first preamp.
Yeah, the TB12 will give the same sound as the WA12 when it's used in the Steel transformer, vintage caps and 713 op amp. I have the WA12 because I needed more preamps, and I also was hired by Warm Audio to do all of their official product videos found on their UA-cam and webpage.
So I used the tone beast in my signal. I used guitar->tb12->amp. I was expecting it to add a lot of overdrive when the gain was cranked but it didn't really do that. Hmmmmm...
The TB12 is about subtlety and layering things over and over to shape the sound of a mix. This video was more about recorded sounds or the sound of the mic that was on the amp. You are talking about a lot of tone shaping before the amp. Both are important parts to master. The TB12 is much different than a super hot pedal that is meant to nuke the signal. You also need to use a reamp box from the out of the TB12. If using outboard, I would just do a DI - Preamp - outboard - reamp box.
"I'm just kinda playing around with my gear at this point..." We've all had days like that. I wish I could afford 8 of those preamps and then 4 WA2A's and 4 WA76's and a good 8 channel interface, my live drums would be so killer, and I'd even be able to get a pretty good live recordin of a full band with 4 mics on the drums.....but then I'd also need to move my studio to the basement, and I don't know if I am going to be able to keep my house since it was in my dad's name, and my state (Connecticut) sues people up to 20 years down the road to pay for the "cost" (as determined by a private corporation that runs the prisons) or incarceration, and they are trying to sue me for $94,457 or half the total value of the "estate" (which they have an inflated estimate of). I don't have the cash to pay the ransom and so they might be forcing me to sell the house....or at least they think so.....they might just force me to burn it down.
Dude, I don't ever mean to flaunt gear in front of people. That would be bullshit. I really hope you get stuff figured out and that in time you can resolve stuff.
creativesoundlab Oh, I wasn't implying that you were intentionally making me jealous, I was mostly just bitching about my situation .... and babbling because my brain is malfunctioning from trying to quit smoking in the midst of overwhelming stress. The channel-strip I described is actually what I intend to eventually have, especially now that I have learned that the "nuke" setting on the Distressor is based on the all buttons pushed setting on an 1176, so I could squash the hell out of overheads and room mics while having the warmer, richer LA2A compression on the close-mics. First thing first though, I need to quit smoking, sell of the stuff I *don't* need, try to get the state to settle for a low enough amount that I don't have to sell the house that I built from a shell, and try to gain back some weight.

Great as always!
Thanks man, really appreciate that!
I literally was just looking at using my tone beast to feed into my amp. it would be cool to add compression to it too!!

@@AdamRainStopper Hell ya dude hope things worked out well for you 3 years later.
Hey man nice video !, a curious question, which is what you have above the dbx 160 (white rack unit) :-)
That's a Seventh Circle Audio preamp unit. It's full of T15s, which have been great for me, but I'd like to build some different ones by them.
nice! I thought it might be a summing box, you do not use summing box?
sweet (again)
Can I use just regular guitar cables for the send and returns on the tb12?
They are unbalanced so I think that would work, but it depends where the cables are going.
