Split decision, according to these guys. You're the best judge, 'cause you'ze the one playing it.

I've got one on my board and I love it, though the Synth 2 setting is useless IMO, but Synth 1 and Autowah setting are great.

Heck of a line-up. The BSW is an interesting thing, I really like mine. I actually found a setting I like in modes: 1, 2 and 7. Decent octaver as bonus.

Anyhoo....

i'm hoping using the sb7 and the bsw, it should give a really synthy sound. I like each pedals features, and figured that i may get something unique if i combine the sound of them.
A little compression on the end should clean up unwanted highs. I am thinking of a true bypass pedal as well.

I have owned both, and still have the Digitech BSW. The Ibanez, while a decent pedal was a one to two trick pony, and those tricks were not unique.

Both sound good, but to me the Ibanez had a buzzy tone and a filter tone going for it, and that was it. I hope you like it. The hidden knob feature is awesome, I wish all pedals were like that.

Its not bad. It seems good on the first synth setting. The auto wah is not bad, but took alot of pissin round to get it good. I only tried it on my passive p bass, and my little 80's samick mod. I'm yet to try it on the deluxe and the lil cort toy bass. It might be okay with active. Its better than I thought though. Can't wait for my other gear to arrive to add in the line.
