Just got one... Jury's out. Not as swept away by it as the AC. Might return it... got 5 days to try it.
Sounds ok w/ the Sr, not so good with Ghia. I think it's way too over the top w/ distortion...
Anyone else using a BB?

Tried mine last night with the Stingray and was blown away. Try the treble at around 9 o'clock and the gain around 10 o'clock. Put the other two at noon. Worked great here...

Steve, do you have any recordings of the Ray and the BB?

I love it w/ my KT-45. Actually, I found it to be too smooth for really heavy distortion. But I love it for low-mid gain rhythm and smooth leads. Definitely tweak the controls. Most people find something they like.

Bluzsteel...what are your typical settings on the AC?

Sometimes I think it's a little too smooth. It seems to round off the edges a little too much. I still keep it around...just incase.

I tried one with my Stang Ray when I picked it up. Nice but just a little fizzy on top. Benttop says to turn the treble down. That would probably be just the ticket. I also tried a Keeley modded BD-2 that day. I didn't like just having a tone control. I checked out the Monte Allums mods of the BD2 on his site. They sounded really very good. Maybe better than the Keeley but you never know that until you can actually a/b them at the same time.

I like the BB with the 66, ghia and maz sr. I use it for it's boost and OD qualities with the gain setting around 8 to 9. I tweak the treble control per amp, i.e. 66 more treble, ghia less treble.

Thanks Bluzsteel, a little karma headed your way. I'll give it a try and see how it works for my setup.

Hey Bluez, nice to see you back! Well, I appreciate all the input, I actually returned the pedal. It was just too close in tone to my Sparkle drive to justify the cash, plus the dist was a tad over the top. I tend to lean to the Zendrive or AC more.
