Yes, the Ruby normal channel at high gain,, like on the AC30, is a bit wooly. It benefits from using the (treble) booster at maximum for Rory Gallagher/Brian May type tones. Also makes rolling back the volume down on the guitar retain volume but lower distortion. Makes the guitar sing.
Hi Scott! Greetings from Melbourne Australia. Love your video! Just the other day me and a colleague of mine tried stacking them in series, which surprisingly worked great also. Usually these types of pedals don’t stack well, something strange happens, but it sounded great. I must try what you’ve done there also.. sounds wonderful brother. You have a new subscriber 🤟🤟
Thank you for making this video. I’m curious about blending my Mesa Boogie V-twin (blue channel with a touch of drive) with a Woodrow using a wetter better box for a complex mono signal. Hmm. 16:30 was nice moment.
Sounds fun to me! The one consideration off the top of my head is latency and making sure that the Woodrow and your Mesa are in complementary phase. The UA Boxes (although needed to have phase flipped at the time of this video), are at least the same latency.
I like the UA pedals, but for $400 each I couldn’t justify buying all three over something like a Synergy amp, which gives me even more amp options. But no doubt they are great pedals.
Great video Scott going back to your last video on the U A Ox Input Modification you did can you please explain why U a put that inside in the first place?? Thank You
Good question… From what I can find on forums, actually a post from a UA rep, it was an R&D thing, they used it while designing/testing it in the early stages and just left it in. I assume it might have been left in so that they could diagnose issues with them if they came back needing repairs.
I don’t understand why companies even make stereo pedals with their outputs out of phase to each other. There must be some benefit from doing so, but all I ever hear about is people complaining that they have to do work-arounds, like reverse polarity adapters, etc.. I think I’ve read something about reversed right/left phase supposedly giving a wider stereo spread if your amps are far enough apart (?), but it just seems to cause more hassle than anything.
Wow, that’s great information. I haven’t seen this technique. I am very eager to try it. I have a Dream and a Woodrow Are both pedals engaged at the same time I imagine and can I do this just with the dream and the Woodrow Thank you
Thanks for the reply Scott what would be the hook up configuration for just using the dream and the Woodrow with this technique any help would be much appreciated. Thank you !!!
Thanks… the body is an MJT finished swamp ash. I don’t recall the make of the body. The Neck in this video is actually for sale! It’s an allparts Neck finished in nitro, 9.5” Radius, 1 11/16” nut with .85-.95 ish 1st/12th fret depth. It’s on Reverb currently! I just am going for an all maple Neck kinda thing now. Just search “allparts Telecaster Neck nitrocellulose amber”. It’s a great Neck, ready to go with tuners.
Why is the Woodrow so low in volume and muffled. It seems like when you're running the Dream/Woodrow, you're mostly hearing the Dream. And the same is true with the Dream/Ruby. Bottom line is that the Dream characteristics come through more than the Ruby and the Woodrow. I suspect that you're losing signal in the Y split.
You’re absolutely right, and that’s intentional! The dream is the main sound in this whole video… Because it’s the “center channel” and I’m using the Woodrow and the ruby to fill in a little bit of stereo image. I thought I mentioned it in the video but it might not have been clear.
@@haskitt No problem, thanks for the response. Which do you prefer? I have a Two Rock Bloomfield and a Mesa Boogie mk iic+ and I want to add something different.
