    I got this pedal about 6 months ago and traded my Bogner Ecstasy Red for this. Couldn't be happier, love how it sounds and also very dynamic and has low noise.

      It’s a good one isn’t it. I find I’m using the model of it a lot in the fractal too, cause it’s a pedal I love. Thanks for watching and congrats on getting the new pedal.

    A Greer Lightspeed stacks great before or after the BB. Great playing and phrasing btw.

      @NickGranville  11 днів тому

      Thanks! I have a LightSpeed and aren’t crazy about it. But in saying that, I haven’t really used it to stack yet. I recently bought a OTB Custom Boost and I think that would stack great with the BB. Cheers

    Great pedal and a wonderful company. I got mine way back in the early 2000s, it started to malfunction a few years ago (well out of warranty) and they let me send it in for a full repair no charge. Customer for life!

    That pedal and the RC has (as the nly ones) followed me since they came out. The BB on and off the board, but for a long time it has been on. Its a really great pedal. Xotic said years ago that BB means Blues Breaker. Well, who knows… btw, I most often use the RC as an EQ, great when changing between single coils and humbuckers

    • @NickGranville
      @NickGranville  4 місяці тому

      Thanks, yes those RC’s are great. I’ve never owned one, need to change that. I like the idea of using it balance humbucker’s and single coils, great idea

    Such a great pedal! I have the silver comp version of this.. I use this early on in the chain, low gain for eq and actually like a pre-amp always on pedal (I know it's not a pre-amp as such and is an OD) but its so dynamic its great for response and breaking up my clean amp. Stack it with a Light speed, ODR1, & BEffects Sick A. Covers all the circuits I really like!

    • @NickGranville
      @NickGranville  6 місяців тому +1

      @@NickGranville Its so versatile isn't it! and incredible quality. It started that way because I was using it as a heavy OD but the click when I'd push it on was so noisy. You could hear it go into the delay. Pedal fault caused me to try a different route and love it.

      Well things move on, and there are so many clones of things now. For example why buy an original TS pedal unless one is a collector. There are so many clones which are way better (I say this as someone who owns an original TS9 and a bunch of clones). Thanks for watching
