All user reviews of 4/5 for the BBE Acoustimax

The overall presentation of the product is easy to get, I let our friend Google fulfill its role.

UTILIZATION

Used to pre-amplify a classical guitar Maurice Dupont with a Schertler sensor before hitting the table and / or a sound card (Motu or RME).
Also used on an electric guitar or Larrivée, a Rhodes.

The connection is very well made and sturdy, nothing out of the ordinary, which is good enough when the tool is well thought out, which is the case here.

I never really used the DI output, since to do so, I prefer to "trust" my signal to my Radial J48.

The unit is really sturdy (so heavy) metal, made for the stage and its hazards ...
The manual is in English, but is it really necessary for this type of product, moreover, very intuitive?

SOUNDS

The controls are very effective (but beware not too "fall in love" Sonic Maximizer which, in my opinion, must remain a phase corrector-very effective and non-resident, a boost of low frequencies; your engi -son enjoy this shade!).

OVERALL OPINION

Very good product, although preserving artifacts and defects of a preamp "electroacoustic" (treble always a little too slap bass and still a bit too soft on a classical guitar, with a touch of classical guitarist).
I used it in conjunction with a tune by micro cardio, it allowed me to get quite full and warm sound without having to suffer too worries larsens volume (reasonably) high.

What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor, ...)? preamp BBE effect transistor with

What connection? in and out jack, XLR DI output in
What are the settings, the effects? ... Preamp with EQ, notch filter, excite typical BBE

UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple? yes very simple
Gets it easy to sound good? yes its not good coloring
The manual is clear and sufficient? there's little but enough

SOUNDS

Is it your style of music? suitable for all styles in my opinion
With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play? with my ukulele, and it works pretty well
What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold", ....)? a little lens, "BBE processor" is really good, it looks like it gives air to the sound, which spreads the sound in its most dynamic sound field, its wider
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? hack is found pretty quickly what works

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? for 1 year
What is so special that you like most? good preamp, bbe effect I love
least? yet nothing ...
Have you tried many other models before buying it? No, I did not want something to light so I had no choice and I wanted a certain sound quality, design, durability,
How would you rate the quality / price? very good
With experience, you do again this choice? yes without hesitation! I think the only competitor Acoustimax is the LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI a bit expensive

UTILIZATION

A box with strong dj well potentiomtres, switches and connectivity of quality.
Note the 12 volt power alternative.
I use it for recording at home, as the basis bassiste.Je do not do gigs with the guitar that is.
Peripherals of good quality, very heavy and solid.

Your exact fully satisfy me.
It allows up well even to embellish the sound as needed.
Given its Features and its qualities, I think it is effective for all: Live and studio.

SOUNDS

The EQ section is doing its job, and not specially colored.
Bass / Treble and mid semi paramtrique carve his wishes in the direction of -12 12dB (I think it is enough to fix)
Note the notch filter (bandwidth trs fine) that removes a frquence rsons excess, if necessary.
As for the Maximizer, it is effective (some would say too, but better too much than not enough, it has the Reserved). Treble quickly become the del Dranga a certain position, and the low . I think it's fine then use li, plutt that a kind of magic that is Big knob while turning back.
I had some problems of dirt on its output, but this is the quality of the electrical network is dsastreuse home.
After a few inverters, filters 50 Hz, and cables floating mass (yes, it works for me anyway), the problem is rgl.
The sound is so customizable.
I use it mainly to optimize the signal before entering my PC via a prampli.

OVERALL OPINION

Although we can say that sr is better (especially) for the studio, but if you go by the millions are not enough to have it all, in what is the best.
Must still return this.
For this box, the sound is very well next to the price, and this could last BCAN.
It's a risk I take with pleasure.
For one who does not have many ways, this unit is an opportunity to acqurir the reliable stuff, which sounds and brings something.
I mention this because I possde Sonic Stomp also the home with two knobs that BBE is a tough job.

I recommend it so bluntly.
