Mh, that's a good question. Of course if the B3K already does the sound you have in mind, it may be the way to go.

Do you have any samples of the tone you've got in mind?

After this batch production will be pretty smooth though! Constant flow of pedals, so just hold on for a bit more!

.

Will they be shipping from the factory/production site directly to the customers who preordered (I paid fully in advance, actually) ?
Or will they be shipped to the dealers who will forward them to the customers?

They will be shipped to you by whom you've pre-paid to.
If you pre ordered through a dealer, then they will ship them to you.
If you've bought directly, they will be shipped either directly from Spencer (America and non European countries) and by me to the EU from Finland (so to avoid any extra custom and tax fees to our EU customers).

Regards!
Doug.

Very smart and very cool thanks from all of us. I think I'm going to go all in and get another B7K I don't know how you did it but there is not another pedal that has that sound congrats this money has burnt a hole straight through my pocket and GAS has overcome me I can't fight any longer.

I pre-ordered mine this morning. The three "indie" clips sold me. I'm so very excited!

I just ordered another B7K I will wait until more of the new Vintage pedals get in the pipeline has anyone used the parallel out on the B7K going into another pedal?

Awesome, thanks!
I haven't heard of anyone so far. I usually place the B7K at the of the board (to get all the previous effects on the DI signal).
Are you using active or passive basses? The Parallel output is a hardwired copy of the input... with passive basses there could be some level loss due to the low input impedance... which would be easily fixed by buffering the signal going into it (an active circuit/pick ups, Boss tuner or pedal bypassed for example, etc.)

DirtyDuke · #**231** 02-24-2013, 08:35 PM

Ok, I'm in too. Pre order placed.

Robin Ruscio · #**232** 02-24-2013, 10:27 PM

Oh man, this thing looks awesome!

Do you all think this can basically cover low grit OD sounds as well as the VT and be cranked a bit for something more rocking? I have both the b3K and Vt right now and wonder if I could consolidate to just this pedal. I'm mostly running a very moderate amount of color off the VT and then use the B3K for a few more hard hitting tunes. I don't need the full metal grind of the b3k; right now the heaviest thing i'm playing is some clash and killers covers.

Hi! Thanks man!
I could work... but to be honest I have never used a VT Bass. If you are not using the B3K as a metal grinding machine, and you are into warmer, throatier tones, then the Vintage could be your thing!

Regards!
Doug.

Chad at Bass EFX thought it probably would work. I've placed an order. Love the B3k but this might be more my taste!

I'll probably be parting with the b3k and VT if this works out.

Thanks I'm using both but for rock I would probably lean toward one of my active basses.

It's March! Not long now!

father of fires · #**237** 03-01-2013, 02:50 PM

Are there any direct sound samples?

I wonder how fizzy the unfiltered high end may or may not be.

**mjac28** · #**238** 03-01-2013, 02:57 PM

Got my second B7K and love it this time she is a keeper looking for a vintage as soon as more get in the pipeline.
