They've made several versions, and the one Jeff's considering is the pedal. I've got one of the rackmount versions, and haven't really used it in quite a long time. I found that a lot of the mixes I used it on (mostly in the late 80's/early 90's) had a real harshness to the high end that was pretty abrasive. It was probably not as much the fault of the BBE as the inaccurate monitors I was using to master, but I was finding that if I brought it up to the point where I heard any difference at all while mastering, it was too much when played back on other systems. I do know a lot of folks swear by 'em, though, and my first thought when I look at that pedal version (never having used it) is that as part of a pedal chain it might be useful to bring in (or out, with the stomp of the switch) some presence lost through the other pedals. Similarly, I sometimes use a Boss Acoustic Simulator pedal not to make an electric sound like an acoustic (it doesn't), but as a way to set up two distinct foot-switchable tone settings, like one would do with EQ or by selecting pickups. -t- http://www.myspace.com/nimbletunes http://cdbaby.com/all/timnelson http://www.youtube.com/speleman62 --- On Sun, 10/19/08, Chris Sewell <midifriedchicken@comcast.net> wrote: > From: Chris Sewell <midifriedchicken@comcast.net> > Subject: Re: bbe sonic maximizer > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Date: Sunday, October 19, 2008, 1:12 PM > Had one.
