Xotic Effects BB Preamp - Mid Boost (Custom Shop)

Overdrive derived from the BB Preamp first version (which compresses a bit) which has been added a medium setting. True Bypass, excellent finish that allows you to blow through the inscription "Custom Shop". Possible use clean boost.

UTILIZATION

We find the characteristics of the BB Preamp first version sound the same color, same little compression, and the record indicates the setting of mids for the exact sound of the original BB.
Gain to 0 gives us a clear, allowing use in clean boost and / or Eq.
The maximum rate of saturation is not very high but will still Meem to the correct distortion.
The pots are not so constrained and easily disrupt except mid is downright unattainable except with tweezers. The remainder trust.

Indeed, it compresses a bit but it's still very dynamic, and the compression is completely to my liking, then ...

OVERALL OPINION

I had the BB Preamp, resold because I found it too smooth. In fact, this pedal is at its best on amps with a strong personality, it optimizes. Mids setting is a luxury we appreciate.
With the multitude of settings, you can really work on his finely. The sound is good on both clean tones and saturated boost channel without touching the settings, it's pretty rare.
Hop in the pedalboard, and a good time, I think. This pedal has healed me (momentarily) my GAS
