Kicks Ass...Anyone use one before?

nah, my cousin swears by this though. It gives your signal a "boost" or something like that, right?

it boosts the low and high end.

Yeah, it makes it more full....brings out your lower frequencies quite a bit, especially if you play metal, chunks are a lot chunkier...Im still playing with it...trying to figure it out

I haven't found it to boost the high end all that much...

So it's an equaliser?

The lo contour knob controls the low end and the process knob controls the high end from what i remember.

But im telling you that I own one, and it doesnt really do much to the high end- Although I have the Sonic Stomp..not the rack mount

Basically its major feature is the slight delay it puts between highs and lows.

Both guitarists in the band i tech for use one... One rackmount and one stomp. They really make the sound fuller.

Really good piece of kit. I use BBE on pretty much all my recordings.

You've really gotta use it in moderation though. You can easily go anal & make things sound awful

I wondered about that for a long time, on the metallicabb many use them.
And one even said that it should be used on every amp :hmm:

I gotta check one out
