Regarding wavedrum usage with pedals

Post by tomfrost33 »

Hello, recently I purchased a wavedrum and I'm very new to it. (to the forums as well)

I have a bunch of pedals I got for my guitar, including a looper (akasi headrush) which I'm hoping to use with my wavedrum, is it possible? there is a stereo left and right openings, what is the best way to go on with using them togather?

hi tomfrost ,
welcome to Stereoland :wink: :lol:

many possibilities ...
what effects do you have ?
solid guitar sound ? (whatever this is ...)
modulation fx phaser , flanger ...( I use a EHX polychorus with the WD)
one more delay box ?
wah ?
Y cable adapters ?
maybe an old Multi FX ?
a small mixer before the Akai ?

make 2 parallel FX chains , different from each other , unsymmetric ,
then you can route the WD sound components
to the left / right output = FX channel

a small 4 channel mixer for 50 bucks
could then connect your guitar as well
and handle the levels and the panorama

Although the forum is very quiet at the moment ,
I am shure not the only one who has ideas / experience with FX and Wavedrum / drums , or am I ? :wink:

My favorite pedal setup at the moment is. WD#1 output into audio in of WD#2. WD#2 out into a boss A/B pedal. Output A into looper to Mooger Fooger chain. Normally mf1o1- mf102-either 104z or 108m to mixer. This path allows me to create drum machine type loops and tweak as the rhythm continues. The B out of the boss goes (normally) into a Tech21 Comptortion to mixer. B sometimes goes out to large multi fx unit but not often. With this set up I can play effected loops while playing a dry signal over the processed for more of the "lead" pattern.
Also the MFs are on a table to allow for on the fly use. For more fun I'll use a couple CV pedals into the Moogs for live real time effect use. Remember nothing is wrong, try everything. And then keep on exploring. Have fun.
