Sounds good, but looks like a newer version of the MailBomb. Mine's slightly bigger, (Ehx XO size), and with only 3 controls, attack, filter, depth. Though the new one sounds really good, aside from the name, they're otherwise not very closely related. Lucky for me, I prefer my older one, seems alot more synthy and whacked-out, though it can be tamed to sound pretty natural, as well. Yours is the first of the newer, smaller versions I've seen.

Did you have the preamp on your Sadowsky bypassed or engaged? Cool stuff, I had never even heard of this pedal.

it sounds very nice in that clip, and seems quote flexible - I like the controls a lot. The compact format is VERY appealing. Could this new mailbomb replace my EBS BassIQ? Hmmmmm.....

Anything could replace that hunk-o-junk,

The Sadowsky is active but no treble or bass boost. Vtc is at about halfway and pickups are biased a little towards the p.

I thnk the maxon nails the classic auto wah better but I can get close with the mb and have a lot more flexibility to get freaky. The mb has no volume jump though while the maxon does. I pretty much have to run the comp after the maxon to help tame that.

Sometimes small is good...
