Just got the Digitech BSW

This pedal is seriously amazing. I love the Daft Punk-esque Synth Ya and the Funky Envelope is great.

Anyone else have or had this pedal and what their favourite settings are or have sound clips, vids?

Yes and congratulations on having a great pedal

I like the mode 7 - Octa Sub with env best, and the reverse env (i think it's mode 3 or 4, cant' remember) a close second.

My favorite setting is probably #2, the Octave + Filter mode. Very funky. The rest of the modes are great as well, however it is hard sometimes finding a good use for some of the modes.

Great pedal overall though! It's the first effect I ever bought.

I found a cool trick with mine...

Setting three, which is the filter sweep from low to high. I adjusted it so almost the full sweep take 2 counts at 92BPM. I also set the Deep Impact up to a synth sound, that creates a synthy chord...

My rig has the DI run into the BMS, so the DI triggers the BMS, and with both on, I get random swells... Pretty cool...

How do you guys control the volume difference between bypassed and effect? I tried it at a gig last night and it was unusable because of this.

Yup, had one and hated it. No really good usable sounds on it. It's what made me decide to get actual synths instead of trying to cop one with a pedal.

I always really liked this pedal, I never noticed real volume spikes...(EDIT: Now that I thought about it, maybe there is on the envelope filter modes...but I only really use the synth stuff)

Maybe I will do some clips or somthing?

Well, my battery went out right after the volume problem, I'll try a new one and report back.

I love my BSW...my band seem pretty impressed by it aswell

Mode 4, range at max, control at zero, you get this fat, funky sound that's awesome for riffs.

I havent noticed a massive volume difference when I engage the pedal.

A definate thunbs up from me!

I liked the BSW when I tried it in the shop, but after I bought it, I could never really find a use for the sounds I was getting...

It was fun to dick around with for a minute, I suppose. But good for little else, IMHO.
