Hi… I just got The Worm (compact version)… and modulation effects sound pretty the same to me (except for the wah, that’s slightly different)… Hey it’s a robust pedal, but I bought it based on the sample by Peter Stroud (and I liked it!!!), I don’t know if it’s just me, but the four effects sound too subtle that I barely notice the difference between each other… Is there any way my pedal it’s not working right? or any mod to enhance maybe the depth of the effects?… I’m using the supplied ac connector…
I’m just plugging my guitar to the pedal, and the pedal to the amp…
Can U give some guide or advice? THANKS!

I’m happy now!
Peace!!!

July 23, 2009 at 2:15 pm #99877Fender&EHX4everModeratorIf I’m not mistaken, I think the worm’s 4 modes all use the phaser as their engine, which might account for some of the similarity you are hearing between the modes.
I find the tremelo to be very subtle, but the wah, phaser, and vibrato are all quite pronounced for me.July 23, 2009 at 10:07 pm #99896kjpiscisMemberQuote:I’m sure you have, but have you switched the auto/manual sweep?Yes I did… and it works perfectly! adding different “colors” or character to tone as I go clock-wise and viceversa…
July 23, 2009 at 10:24 pm #99898ghostMemberI feel like all of the newer XO/Nano modulation pedals are more subtle than the previous versions…. Is it just me? Excluding the Pulsar of course – new version is intense….

the auto/manual sweep switch is very cool too…

Excluding the Pulsar of course – new version is intense….I haven’t tryed anything else yet… but I’m thinking about the stereo electric misstress AND/OR the small clone for my next buy… any advice on that???…
lol I’m becoming an EHX fan! want the MM hazarai, micro pog, micro synth, etc,etc,etc…
