rmorris Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1462127833' post='3040501'] Any electronics that are in the signal chain before the WM will cause issues. Basically, if all power is off on your board and you still have a bypassed signal coming through, it is fine to be before the WM. Buffered bypass, active electronics (pickups or preamp) and, obviously, any engaged pedal will seriously reduce the usability of the sound. To more directly answer the question, the pedal does not need to be true bypass, but it does need to be mechanical and not powered. The boss OC-2 will interfere in bypass, but any true bypass alternative would not. Although, I usually have octaves after the WM, as tracking is usually fine and you avoid ruining the WMs tone with an active signal.

rmorris Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 for using buffers / low impedance electronics before the WM - take a look at the Mastotron fuzz or equivalents. Has facility to increase source impedance and work as intended with active pickups aand reamping etc. Also lots cheaper though you lose the painted graphic case !

Sean Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I got a WM clone made for me by this chap http://www.madebymike.co.uk/index.shtml Very good it is too. £60 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
