Blending your effect pedals in parallel with each other or with your direct signal is a wonderful way to create unique and epic tones. Think of the sounds you could unlock simply by blending and mixing the effects you already have.
TheGigRig WetterBox allows you to :
Plug in any 2 effects and blend them in parallel
Blend in an effect in parallel with your direct signal
Do this in real time with an expression pedal
Control loop level with independent gain controls on each loop
Flip the phase on the return of LOOP B to be able to deal with any phase issues
Mix mono and stereo effects with True stereo signal path using TRS cables
Use 2 separate modes of operation, BLEND (crossfade from loop A to loop B) or MIX (add loop B to Loop A)
Internal voltage doubling compatible with guitar level or amp fx loop level
Internally isolated power
True Bypass or Buffered Spillover bypass
Control the bypass state remotely with any latching switch
100% analog signal path
TheGigRig OptoKick footswitch
With its 100% analog signal path, rugged construction, incredible audio quality and TheGigRig OptoKick footswitch the WetterBox will help you explore what's possible with parallel effects mixing.
Just imagine what you could do with it

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

I love parallel mixing an envelope filter and chorus. The two effects change the frequency response of your guitar signal and maybe not for the best in series operation, but in parallel, rather in a Wetter Box, it’s heavenly.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Ah mate, thank you so much. Honoured to have you in the vid :)

[@robsirait1971]

hello sir, i am a true lover of your show. and always can't wait to watch your new program on youtube. I am a user of pedal darkside work station, and I am happy with mixing flange with rotary and phase with u-vibe. thank you keeley. but with this pedal we can mix any pedal. this is amazing, it's very special. and I will not stop dreaming of having this pedal one day 🙏🙏

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

rob rock Thanks sir! It is fun blending those two effects in the Darkside! In fact we parallel blend them just like the Wetter Box does!

[@jeffboles2470]

Robert Keeley Daniel TheGigRig It’s soo cool to find out some of your favorite pedal makers are nice guys too. It’s one of the things that makes this community so cool. Also makes you want support them all the more. Love you guys!

[@pd4165]

Next - a tube screamer without ambiance called... The Midrange Dry Hump. Is it wetter or is it a wizard's sleeve? Or is it cold today? ;-P

[@PedalboardoftheDay]

Utility pedals are truly underrated. This one is case in point. Love the concept of blending effects. Powerful tool especially for overdrive nuts, opens up a quite a few possibilities.

[@ilCapotasto]

But.. How about a GigRig with incorporated WETTER BOX, switchable and programmable itself in the matrix? +Daniel TheGigRig.... I might ask for rights for this :P

[@stubkar]

I'm going to buy two wetter boxes, then run them in parallel with each other.

[@somewhatlikealex]

I can finally do wet/dry but only carry one amp!

[@Fidtz]

This feels like it is something that could have been done before but it offers so many sound options that it was too scary to actually make. It makes any 3 normal pedals into an almost infinitely complex unit. Dan has unlocked Pandora's effects box. Sounds amazing.

[@rickfeith6372]

My stars...why hasn't this been done 20 years ago? Need to make a Wetter Rack with MIDI control and a half dozen loops. A Wetter loop switcher with CC control. Can you say MUST HAVE toy for the rack guys?

[@ItaiIfrach]

This is most necessary for Whammy pedal when u want to blend octaves with the dry signal. Cool pedal

Hmm I would imagine you could run two separate boards with this and mix both to your hearts delight with whatever on or off Very cool Dano

[@diegomonteirobatera]

First of All. Amaziiiinnng! Second: Please do a TPS episode on this. Third: show the use with acoustic guitars, using gain and ambience pedals in paralel with the original acoustic signal. It work wonders! Thank you for this. I hope I can aford it here in Brazil.

[@markhammer643]

Splitter/mixer units are wonderful things. I've been using them for over 30 years. I thank Craig Anderton for introducing me and many others to parallel processing. More and more devices are permitting, and encouraging, musicians to think about their sound in a manner that used to be reserved for post-production engineers. In tandem with an expression pedal, the Wetter makes possible panning/morphing from sum to difference outputs of those modulation pedals that provide such outputs, as well as fading in (or out) wet signal from those pedals that provide separate wet and dry outputs. As a suggestion, consider using it for comparing pedals in future TPS episodes. One of you plays, while the other one pans between pedals, without interrupting the playing. That could make for more useful comparison. Notsomuch to pronounce THIS better than THAT, but to be able to draw attention to how THIS is *different* or does differently than THAT. For instance, some modulation pedals will allow for different LFO waveforms. So much easier and clearer to morph from triangle to sine, or triangle to ramp, than to stop, re-adjust and start again. Of course, you'd need two of the same pedal to do that, but I'm sure that can be arranged. Smart functional little unit, and fun seeing all the pedal-maker "cameos". Nicely done.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

[@Cluless02]

Godfrey Daniel! That thing is - a key to another dimension!! Interesting - neither OD's are usable (IMO) but suddenly at 2:20, sounds fabulous. Daniel is a tone wizard!

[@wxb200]

This is hands-down the best product demo, ever.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Cheers mate 🙏

[@edwardjons8684]

This is awesome! I’ve been messing with overdrive pedals for an age, trying to get the tone and sustain I want, and always I’m thinking ‘If I could get the smooth sustain from this pedal, and the gritty bite from this pedal, I’d have just what I want.’ If I’m right, this pedal is going to allow me to do exactly that - set one OD for sustain, the other for bite, and have the two in parallel...? This could revolutionise the way I create tone using pedals!

[@KyleCanessa]

I've been wanting to blend my Plexi pedal and my metal pedal with an ABY. I think you've shown me the perfect solution!

Just when you think you have found your best sound , switch on the gigrig wetterbox and take it further . Mmmmm cherry on the cake . Good call dan .🤘

Sounds great, thought this was a wet/dry/wet box at first, which, by the way, would be a great product as well.

You are an absolute genius, Dan! Loving my newly delivered power supply of yours! My D&M-Drive is awesome, too! Cheers!

[@Johnny6666]

"You can blend anything you like"? Really? OK, so sometimes I want 63% Dan, but only 37% Mick. Alternatively, on Wednesdays I prefer 35% Dan, and 65% Mick. And sometimes (very occasionally) I want 41% Dan, and 59% Rabea. Can the Wetter Box do this, Sir? ;)

[@jakefrancis9521]

yep, buy 2 d&m drives and put them either side of the wetter box :)

[@kevotheclone]

The D&M Drive features TRS jacks, so each side can be used individually. So with the right kind on TRS cables a single D&M Drive can be used to blend Dan with Mick.

[@RickAmonett]

Wow. Now I have to figure out how to make room for 3 of these on my board.

OK Please excuse my ignorance I had to google who Yoshi was - I kinda suspected he was a big wig at Boss (I thought maybe R&D or the like) - BUT HE'S THE FREAKING BOSS MAN AT BOSS! Well played Daniel....

[@craigphillips3154]

I can see a lot of utility in this. However, at $300 I think it's pretty pricey and will likely get copied rather quickly if it gains traction. The EHX Tri Parrallel mixer is similar (I think) with 3 loops but without the expression pedal feature and costs about half the price. There are some other small footprint mixers available as well for much less money.

[@Iliaspap80]

Hello Dan, does it have phase reverse? EDIT: It has, I just read the specs! Well done! :-)

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Too cool fo school. Presumably you could, with a short cable completing one loop or the other, mix your clean signal along with any drive in the other loop. I do love the Pork Loin/Saucy Box thing of drive and clean together

[@geofftate6113]

Congratulations Dan, a triumph, ingenious !!

[@deranged-games]

wow! this thing looks really cool! i shall have to make a note of this and get back when im less tragically poor! xD

[@adozensparrows]

I see/hear a real potential -- esp w/ pedal. Right away I'd mix my Blackstar OD w/ a Catapulp OD.

[@raminu2]

Very clever piece of gear,but I wouldn't suggest running a Pussy Melter into a Wetter Box 😜

[@EminentFront]

Oh Man. Awesome. I was just thinking today of developing such a thing. You beat me :( good for you and all of us

[@irfuben32]

Been looking for something like this for a long time. Currently use a stereo pan pedal but the lack of buffering and isolation just doesn't do the trick. Now do 4 inputs with a bi-axial expression pedal.

[@rickfeith6372]

[@mattgilbert7347]

Amazing! I saw this on The Gig Rig site today, while I was checking out the ABY Baby. I thought it might be a practical joke, like Wampler's April Fool "Totally Buffed" - but no! Typical Aussie, naming it a "Wetter Box". We all know it isn't just about letterboxes ;) Shameless and proud of it. Way Huge - you have some competition in the naughty names department! If us Kiwis had made it, we would call it the Weta Box. All joking aside, there's so much you could do with this. I'm thinking OD & Muff (like Wampler's idea) blended DriveMuff...Muffdriver...mmmm....let me just ponder that for a while... I'm buying this.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Ah, cheers Matt :)

[@livekaos]

Good idea! I use to do this with my old jtm. Then I started building my own devices! Every one needs a blender or a small mixer in his pedal board

[@ChrisM541]

What an incredibly useful and versatile little box. I wonder, with the GigRig G2/3, if it would be possible to switch into the Wetter Box different pedals and combinations at the press of the footswitch? Ideally, the blend level (and other parameters) would be programmable for each patch...I guess a Midi version of this pedal would be needed?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Thanks Chris. Yes, as you say if you want to blend everything with individual blend levels per preset you’d need something that can store them and be accessed with MIDI. G3 can do parallel blends which is so much fun 🤩 Cheers mate 🤓👍

[@seanbean4682]

Well, I'm going to need like 5 of these, more pedals, and a bigger board.

[@jasfiona]

[@vegisaynom]

My favourite feature of the mooer ocean machine is the option to parallel the delays! Might need to get one of these for my drive section though, recently made a fuzz that's great for lead, as it's very treble heavy, as well as a fuzzy drive pedal designed for bass, to fatten up the low end! Been after a way to blend the two nicely!

[@muse-mech-moda]

I became interested with _the parallel process_ when I first got hold of a Strymon Sunset. The Wetter Box answers every possibility I could ever hope from it. Nice one :-)

I’ve been using Yoshi’s parallel mixing in ES switchers with some success but the blend option here is amazing 🤯

[@davidburke2132]

I’m probably not understanding this 100% in terms of connectivity Dan. Is it possible to configure your two pedals/loops so that when the Wetter Box is off the pedals function in series (i.e. more conventionally) so that you can have either a parallel blend feature from the Wetter Box core functionality or a more conventional series stacking?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi David, no, there are 2 modes of bypass, true bypass and trails bypass. Cheers mate :)

[@Cambodia69]

If I want to do a wet/dry set up, could I use the Wetter Box as a parallel mixer? I want to run a Morgan PR12--which doesn't have an effects loop--as my dry signal. If I understand correctly, I'd have to run a line out box from my PR12 speaker out. From the line out box, one cable runs to the dry cab while the other out goes to the parallel mixer. I then plug in my wet effects (delay and reverb) into said parallel mixer, then (from there) to a power amp return/input on a head/combo that has one. Would that be a true, simple, wet/dry rig?
