| I'm a big fan of the BSW. I bought mine of Ebay 18 months ago and that pedal is a constant on my board, along a BDDI and a tuner. I prefer a smaller board (right now I'm using a PT2) and a pedal that multi-tasks as efficiently as the BSW (IMO) is a precious asset. The BSW is a rather inexpensive and quiet pedal, built like a Tiger tank.
I'm using it primarily as an octaver and I found it so good, I ended up selling my BOD. It tracks well, no matter where I am on the fretboard. I prefer its synthy tone to the MXR, which I found glitch (maybe my unit was defective ?). I also use the filter settings sometimes, as well as a setting that gives me a decent enough live-usable fuzz that I ended up selling the BBM I was not using that much anyway. It’s the one pedal I’ve had that I would actually consider having 2 on the board, if I would have to use one of its functions on a more regular basis. Still beats having to buy separate fuzz, octave and filter. The other filter I use right now is a modded Bassballs and I’m selling a few pedals to buy a GR2 or an MXR BEF.
Disclaimer: I don’t use octave and fuzz extensively. I use octave in a few introductions or breaks. So far, I use fuzz in only one song of our set (Blur’s Song 2).
EDIT: At one point, I also used it as a mock-sequencer in a Legs cover. I had it working with a Boss BF-3 (pan mode, I think), a Boss LS-2 and an EHX Small Stone. But I don't use its pure synth functions.
