hey guys.

i want to get a bbe sonic maximizer. should i get the 4821, the better model, or the 363, the low end model.

would the lower one be fine for bass.

any advice would be great.

Ok, I know nothing of the rack mount units, but I use the Sonic Stomp, which should be the really low end model, and it rocks. I have a large pedalboard, and the BBE puts alot of life back into my tone. It's very noticable between on/off. When on, (all the time), my tone is alive and punchier, seriously, it's better than if I bypassed all pedals, and went bass into amp. Wish I didn't like it, 'cause I could use the room on my board, but now that I've heard what it does, can't live without it. In short, either of the units you're looking at should do wonders to your tone, as well. Hope that helps.

thanks alot! im thinking of the better model because it has the db lights instead of just a clip light.

and i heard its loads better then the 363 so for 140 i think its worth it to get the better one. now all i need to do is order this thing!!!

I just bought the 362 rack unit. i love it. Playing a Spector NS2 with active EMG's, and an Ibanez with active bartolini's mostly with Nady rack wireless, into a Hartke HA3500 only other FX are an alesis Nano compressor. i use the Hartke VX 410 and Hartke VX 210 both cabs have a horn. really makes my sound crisp.
