Xotic bb pre amp!! great pedal

[dwells]

just got me self an xotic bb pre amp and i have to say this pedal is just superb!!
great tone sounds amazing with the 20th and also heavy tones with the bfr Luke it just smokes
thats all

Ive had one of these pedals on my boards for years, its actually a pedal that has always stayed on my board when I've made changes. Its a very warm overdrive and you can use it as a clean boast also, however the Xotic RC-Boaster is the best clean boast I've tried!!

Dean, have you tried it head to head with the Zendrive you raved over recently?

 

[Roubster]

I absolutely love this pedal! It really sounds great on clean and dirty channels, and retains great clarity with a nice warm tone. If its good for Andy Timmons and Greg Howe, its good enough for me hehe.

Dean, what amp are your running it through now? Still playing through your JSX? I recently watched your video in the studio again when you were shredding, and I want this amp all over again. Went full circle from wanting ENGL and Mesas, but I think I want the JSX first. Then when I have space and more cash the Lone Star .
Oh, and where are the vids of the 20th and Silo Special???

it was perfect with my CAE 3+SE

But now with my head egnater mod 50 it never find his place

anyone must have one in his set for main sund or rescue

i only plug BBpreamp and can continue the gig

Great pedal, as mnetioned above, it always stays in the chain regardless of what else comes and goes. I was running one into my Lone Star before I knew Timmons did it. I still don't have the tone AT does, though, but I doubt it's the hardware.

Great pedal - I'd love one!

I was contemplating getting a BB plus - then my son went to Uni and I had to fund other things.

I still hanker after one though after hearing Allen Hines (xotic endorsee) demonstration them.

Yep, Ive had mine for about 3 years, never leaves my board. Works fantastic with the Zendrive, and my Wampler Hot Wired.

 

[meenahga]

I must concur. The whole X-otic line is great. I have the RC (must have) the BB another (must have), and I also have the BB+, all right in a row. Very transparent units, that sound great thru my Dr. Z.

My friend has a Dr. Scientist "The Cleanness" and it is amazing.

Zendrive is a very different animal !! more mid toneish than the bb .
i will eventually get a zendrive aswell im just trying to see what suits all my needs from full metal to pop/country tones but i bought the bb coz of the way it works with amp drive as well!!
imm trying to get some vids done im just flat stick with teramaze and producing bands but ill get there soon

Geh, I've been trying to find one of these for an eternity. I need a boost for my Roadster and I think this is the one.

 

[RobW]

super great pedal, I don't leave home without it.

 

[John Price]

Love this pedal! I have 3 of them and I think each one is a different version.....

Congrats! Good score. Pair it up with an AC and/or RC from Xotic and you will be goin' from clean to mean in no time at all. Rock on, rock on, rock on!!!

edit: better yet, run yer 20th (and any EBMM guitar) thru all three pedals into a Boogie, Badcat or Dr Z and you will just be lovin' it

cheers always, eh

It sounds good through my new Ulbrick amp too, up here with Bad Cat etc, great amps.

I don´t know the BB, but I love the RC, which is a fantastic booster. It´s on first position in my pedal chain, and it´s running the whole time. Very versatile with its bass and treble knobs and great with the singlecoils of my Silo spec.

I have to say I prefer the RC booster, and the Zendrive combination. Great tones for single coils. The BB and the Timmons BB are still great.
