Beyond B3KV2?

[KB5]

I have and love a B3K V2. I love the character of the grit but want more. What's the B3K on steroids?

The B7K

I would've suggested the Alpha Omega, but it's character is different. It can get much dirtier than the B*K series can. I happen to like the AO more than the B*K sound myself. I've tried just about all the DG dirt pedals and I've since moved on from them. I still love the brand and company, I guess I just "outgrew" its flavor. But I need to recoup the AO again. That pedal is simply too good to not have on my board.

Maybe check out the ADAM....

X7 into the B7K.. just a massive tone

I suggest Blumes, earthquaker effects.

You outgrew it and I went back to it, except in the form of the VMT.
I def would pair it with the Alpha Omicron, if not for my Gasoline staying stubbornly around.
But the VMT often pulls alone as well.

It’s that metallic thing even their darker pedals can do that I love so much(of course with the Era turned past 2 - it can get fabulously warm before that)

You might have misinterpreted the OP's request. The Blume and B3K are both overdrives but soundwise they do not relate at all.

@OP: I've been in your position, got the B7K but in the end found it overkill for my needs and went back to the B3K.
My go to OD is the Vintage Microtubes though. If you like the Darkglass sound you might give it a try.

Oh yeah. The X7. That'll do 'er. The X7 really is a lot like the B*K sound but with a lot more. The added blending of the bands and the comp really open up a lot of possibilities while still keeping that B*K sound IMO.

Hello txs, maybe maybe not.

I understand KB5 wants something before (or after) his B3K to boost it.
But when you ask me what's B3K on steroïds I think Blumes /earthquaker device.
I was disappointed by the B3K, and the Blumes sounds to me like a B3K on steroids. That's all.
