Why BBE Pedals Are Amazing

Күн бұрын

Today I show you one of my favorite, and most under-appreciated pedal lines from 2006. These BBE pedals are some of the coolest looking and sounding pedals out there that you can currently buy for under $100 (as of time of filming 😉). Join me as we peruse powerful pieces of pedal prestige in today's episode. In the comments let me know some mid 2000s albums that you like.

Then, I saw your "Make Biking Great Again" shirt, and for the for the first minute, I was thinking, "Wow...a channel with a significant number of viewers all about bicycle pedals..."

Great album choice. Spoon is the only band that I have ever seen live that had perfect sound. As in: I went to the show and put in my ear plugs expecting the usually barrage of too much sound for such a small venue. But when the band began to play I promptly realised the ear plugs were not necessary and upon removing them I was treated to a perfect mix of highs, lows, and mids accompanied by completely discernible vocals. It was a once in a lifetime event that I fear I shall never again have the privilege to be able to witness. PS: I have seen a lot of shows before and after that show. PPS: Please don’t ever joke about not making videos again. That was mildly traumatic.

@brendenpavao2071 5 жыл бұрын

@@michaelkupfer3723 I got mine years ago for $25. Obviously how anything sounds is subjective, but they don't sound like shit at all. If you're not looking for a Univox/Shin Ei Super Fuzz deal, or just a straight up affordable FZ-2, it's probably the wrong pedal for you altogether and I'd likely agree that it sounds like shit for what you're going for. Hell, I'd say it sounded like shit when I would try using it in the wrong places. I'd never use it as my only fuzz. I have a Hyper Fuzz that I've had around forever. I could kind of use them together and cover the grounds completely, but I just use other fuzzes. I use the Behringer instead because it does more by accident than the Boss does, and I can replace it. Once it breaks in, you get the Easter egg fuzz 3 setting by putting the switch between 1 and 2. Other than that, they only differ a small amount anyway, and you can dial that in easily. They only differ because I've never played two Hyper Fuzzes that were exactly the same and the Behringers are consistent, so I figure they have that going for them at the very least. It's definitely over the top, unless you're trying to play some Smashing Pumpkins or you're looking to Dopethrone the thing haha. I don't use fuzz 1 on it at all, and I keep the gain turned down on it on fuzz 2. They tighten up fairly well with an overdrive in front. The accidental 3rd setting in between them is all around better than both of them. At that point, you have a far more usable fuzz with parametric EQ. I still think any Super Fuzz based pedal will always be the least versatile of anything. Where it's a sleeper is that even those of us who love them will usually say that the boost setting is the best thing about it. It bypasses the volume control, but it's absolutely huge. The EQ and gain controls allow you to do anything you want with it at that point. I've talked to so many people who have bought FZ-2s for the boost setting and nothing else. I knew the boost was great, but I never knew it was that great.

I love the BBE pedals - Opti Stomp and Boosta Grande have spent some quality time on my board. I also just got their acoustic preamp with the integrated Sonic Maximizer and it’s killer!

And thank you for acknowledging the "Josh factor" on cheap pedal market pricing. BTW, I noticed in one case, it's not a permanent bump. Right after you did the video that included the Behringer Super Fuzz, the prices about tripled. But recently, I've seen them back down to nearly "pre video" prices.

I loved the sonic maximizer. It was great for live sound. My understanding was that it slightly slowed mid and low frequencies allowing the highs to hit your ears first. Added clarity. Then you could add back some lows with the low contour knob. It was legendary when it came out.

Wow !! The Crusher sounds wicked. They all sound good. I overlooked this line of pedals for I don't even what reason. But thank you. They pretty much much all are really good.. Thank you again for dropping some knowledge on another guitar player.

I have a Sonic Stomp and a Soul Vibe. Both are really cool. Funny thing, I used to live in Brazil and "bosta" means "shit" in portuguese. So the Boosta Grande was a funny name to us. I remember the later releases with funky graphics and the Boosta Grande had a bull on it. I always wondered if it was an intentional play on words, like "bullshit". BBE is awesome.

I literally bought a BBE Free Fuzz two days ago and love it. Feeling smug as this has kind of validated my choice!! Knew nothing about them tried it against a bunch of others and it came out top for me. Cool coincidence, thanks Josh!

You didn't cover the best one. BBE Mind Bender Chorus. Arguably one of the best chorus sounds on the market if you're going for that fast John Scofield jazz fusion kind of sound.

Hey I appreciate that you told us about the influence of that Spoon album on the Color Box. I’d like more of that. Maybe a video on music, and pedals, that influenced your designs. That’d be cool.
