Wounded Paw Blender V4 - Parallel Effects Loops

The Blender V4 has 4 parallel effects loops channels with individual  stomp switches to select any combination of channels.  And  each channel has it's own volume control which sets the level sent to  the Blender's output, like a mixing console.

The Blender V4 now has a selectable high pass  filter on channel B to roll off the low end on the returns of the  effects loops.  This can be especially useful for bass players who want  to use the clean channel to keep the low end clear and an effects loop  to add distortion on the higher registers.  The HPF toggle switches go from no roll off, roll off at 100Hz, or roll off at  250Hz.

Each channel will default to a clean channel if nothing is plugged into  it's return jack with the dry instrument signal sent through to the  output.  Channel A has a Baxandall type tone section: bass and treble  controls with boost and cut.  The tone section comes after the effects  loop so it acts on the return signal.

Loops C & D have a rotary switch to go from parallel to series with C feeding into D or D feeding into C.

Phase switches on loops B, C, and D to compensate for effects pedals which flip the signal phase on their output.

Channel C has a feedback control  to send signal from the effects loop return straight back to the send.   This feedback option can send delay pedals into infinite repeats and  other craziness and some distortion pedals will make drone noises or  other strangeness.

The Blender V4 also has the ability to change the bypass settings for  each effects loop.  When the individual effects loop is turned off a  toggle switch allows you to select what gets sent from that effects loop  to the Blender's output: either the return of the pedal in the effects  loop (to allow trails of delay type pedals to continue), a clean  instrument signal, or nothing (muted).

One major advantage of this set up is to allow the total signal level  sent to the final output of the Blender V4 to remain constant when the  various effects loops are bypassed but also allow massive flexibility in  shaping your sound and changing it on the fly.
