Wilson Effects: Dual Lotus Drive II (with Music Man Axis and Eventide PitchFactor)

http://www.wilsoneffects.com

A version of this clip using a Strat can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu6aeXWxr4A

A double homage to the Dumble ampage. Crystal lattices and all that stuff. Low pass filter; a presence control that ups the gain as well as the spike; two discrete channels; red sparkle; independent channel routing and one of the best tip o' the hats to the great unobtainium amp that ever was.

Please note the following addendum to my ticker commentary:

"The clipping switch settings are as follows. The switch to the right is the base Dual Lotus or Lotus Drive circuit. The switch positioned in the middle cuts part of the clipping circuit out and the switch positioned to the left adds LED clipping to the circuit." - Kevin Wilson.

The Dual Lotus Drive II delivers. Twice.

You will spend hours exploring one channel and weeks exploring combinations of the two.

It IS great. Well done, Kevin Wilson. Go forth people and snap them up before Kev is snowed under (around 24 hours, I'd say).

I used the PitchFactor because it has one of the best modulated delays ever and I dig that stuff. (No I'm not going to post my preset. Some things have to remain secret!)

There will be another clip of the DLDII featuring just it and a Strat, shortly.

Cheers,

Burg.

Oh! The intro music: "The Lotus Blossom" - Duke Ellington.

Ok, I believe this is the best dirt+delay sound I have ever heard in your videos. Beautiful... just beautiful. I always wonder how you can improve on your video tones, and you always seem to be one step ahead! Hats off. Best wishes, Spyros!

@bloodySunday77 Spyros, you are too kind. Merry Christmas my friend. :)

Can you get Eric Johnson-y cascading overdrive tones from this pedal?

[Burgerman666]

@xXNeoShredderXx I'm not sure, but I'm guessing so. I'm afraid I'm uneducated in all things Eric Johnson. Something to study in the future..

The clipping switch settings are as follows. The switch to the right is the base Dual Lotus or Lotus Drive circuit. The switch positioned in the middle cuts part of the clipping circuit out and the switch positioned to the left adds LED clipping to the circuit. Thanks to Brett for another outstanding video, can't wait for the next!!

 Oh and SharkyCrunch I do ship international.

Thanks,

Kevin

@wilsoneffects Sorry Kevin, my bad with the ticker! Thanks for clarifying. The great part is, though, that no matter where the clipping switch is, it sounds good.

Strat version tomorrow.

Nevermind the 'vintage spec' question.. just saw the reply from Kev in your other demo.. ;-)

[3dsman]

Another great demo! Now I've got a tilt in my kilt for yet another pedal. ;-) Did Kev ever clue you in on what 'vintage spec' meant for so many of his pedal options (although apparently not this one). OH, and more Wilson 12 Position wah demos please. ;-) Cuz, 1) DIG the sound of the pedal and 2) I dig your Isaac Hayes covers a ton!!! OH... the LT5 is still amazing me... only prob is it's too heavy to lug around so I need a 2nd for the house (stays at rehearsal spot now). C-Ya!!

Guys, belive me: this pedal is 100% worth it. You can set one channel to sound like Robben or Larry with PAFs, and the other to go for some Matt Schofield´s Two Rock mojo with single coils. In my Mesa Lonestar sounds THAT good. Even completely clean as a boost it retains that D elusive character. Almost clean with a Tele it´s simply exquisite if you put the switch in the middle. As you have seen on this video, you have to go up with the tone, presence and lopass controls to achieve enough cut.
