Does anybody compared newer (post 2001) to older (pink label) CEB-3 ? Any noticable difference between them two?

Analog should be more like this:
(it's actually OC-2)
and digital should be more like this:

It was for those who were wondering about the different designs and the history of the pedal. I would have expected you to have seen that site already.

I have never A/B'd them through the same rig, with the same instrument, but will do such testing soon, and report my findings. The digital pedal resides on my larger board, which is used for loud gigs. The analog pedal is on my smaller board, used for "acoustic" gigs. A far as I can tell, the digital version sounds less muddy, but I will remove all variables, and minimize the subectivity, and report, likely tomorrow.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Tempe, Arizona, USA | | | OK, so the distractions were done away with, and I got to work on the OP's burning question, and yes, the dark grey label (digital) unit did have a "clearer" sound, with the lows more refined, compared to a slight relative "bloominess" to the analog unit, using the same instrument and amp, with nothing else in the signal chain.
It's enough to make me put the pink unit on the large board, and the dark grey unit on the small board, since a common gripe with the acoustic band is the bump in lows that accompanies chorus usage. That would not be so much of an issue, with the electric bands.
There you have it, folks.

I'm really enjoying my analog CEB-3 with a high rate and shallow depth...very similar to the vibrato setting in the manual. I think I'll need something else for a sparklier setting.
