Has Anyone On Here Got Or Used A GigRig Humdinger ?

[Dave Lewis]

I’ve watched a couple of videos on the Humdinger and like it but it’s a £159.00 plus P&P.

Other than it’s smaller size I can’t see what it does differently to the Orange Detonator ?

I have a GigRig G3, and it is very clean. I guess the Humdinger is derived in some way from that.

I have a Humdinger and a WetterBox on my wet/dry board. It basically just a very clean, active isolation transformer.

It's a bit pricey, but it's a solid performer and durable AF.

Is it worth the cost? Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

On my new board, space underneath is limited, so I'm using a Goodwood Audio TX Underfacer (Signal Buffer / Summer / Signal Mute / Junction Box) that I found used on Reverb for about the same price as the Humdinger.

Those two are different products.

The Humdinger is a line isolator.
The Amp Detonator is an A/B/Y box. If you use the "Both" option or connect only B (which I guess is the transformer isolated out) then it will function the same as the Humdinger.

Goodwood Audio makes excellent stuff.

I decided to order a Humdinger because of its size.
Its going on my new board with my GigRig Quartermaster QMX-10 switcher and it does seem to work well with two amps Wet & Dry.

Make sure that anything digital on the wet side is extremely low latency, or you will end up with partial phasing issues that are less than 180° that can't be corrected via the phase switch on the Humdinger.

Indeed, for digital delays and reverbs analog dry-through is 100% must for w/d.

The EarthQuaker Devices Swiss Things Pedalboard Reconciler is another multi-function device for creating complex signal routing.

It supports multiple isolated amps (A/B/Y), 2 switchable loops (toggle or momentary ), buffers, tuner out, VCA volume, and an integrated boost. It can be an effective space saver compared to discrete devices (if you need them).

This is reminding me I need to get an ABY box.
