Hi guys,just came in to say that i got my Bloop and reaaally love it!
As i said before,i never liked clean blends cause they tend to sound like my bass with noise on top,but the bloop mixes really well,
i’m impressed with this one!
Thanks!

Shout-out to the GMP! I used it at a show last night with the death metal band. It's thick, middy, and tracks extremely well. I use it medium gain. It's very harmonically rich. More than most pedals. The GMP gives me a new way of doing heavy tones with a true vintage-modern feel.

I always liked it, but could never find a concrete use for it. Having it on the same board as the MBD didn't work because I always chose MBD over it in the other band. Once I discovered that it does some things different/better than the MBD, the solution: different board different band.

My guitarist uses one through a Vox AC30. It's quite a bright pedal but sits so well in a heavy band mix.

In my experience it's not bright, especially with the tone at noon or below. What I like it how the harmonics and overtones all jump out. But yes, I agree is sounds ok solo but amazing in a mix.

Yeah my guitarist in Killing gods used a Vox AC30 and a Gibson double cutaway. It sounded glorious for our band. But it also led to me having a really bright tone as well. We were pretty aggressive sounding tonally. I loved it. That's one of the biggest things I miss most about our band, our collective tone.

Random venting. My MBD-1 has been sitting in customs for a week now. I'm getting impatient.

But then again, I finally got the SA C4 coming in tomorrow. I guess that one will keep me occupied for a couple of days.

The MBD-1 sounds really good in front of the filters in the C4. Good pair very happy for you!

It's happened to me before too. It's annoying haha.

The C4 will keep you busy a lot longer than for a couple days!!

Arrgh…definitely looks like NPD to me. That MDB-1 is really unreasonably large…I love it.

I put this board together for a new project. Its musically challenging and the guitarists use low tuned 7-8 strings which is hard to compete with but I find Jeff's circuits are the best for heavy lifting

The Stomp was an early b-day gift and I've haven't dialed in the amp/cabs yet, so I'm running everything into the ABC as my main preamp. Slamming the MBD-1 or Curmudgeon into the ABC produces some nice grindy textured tones that are colossal in the mix... After a couple years of powering through circuits I think I've finally found the best tools for the job

Dude that is one bad a$$ board!!!

Thanks! Lol, I wanted to post some clips but the sound is too much for my interface to handle so I'm still sorting it out

Seems about right with an arsenal like that.

No need. That boards deserves a big fat amp with a big fat speaker cab (or two).

For Sure! It doesn't go neglected nor without tubes

Got a Bloop and I love it for the Thickerizer and Tuberizer functions. Unfortunately I bought it to add clean to a distorted signal but I'm getting feedback and 'clicking'. These issues have appeared with two other filter fx loops but I like the Bloop so much I want to solve this. Any help appreciated. Issue thread: Help! Effect loop issues

I sent OP a PM. Once we work it out we'll update this thread but if anyone has any good ideas let's hear it.

Yesterday I set up a small board with my micro amp and my 212 (I usually play 2 amps-2 cabs). For smaller stuff I'd like to have a "normal" setup.

I like it pretty well. Distortion sounds beefy and I really like having two separate sides.
I still have a few questions:
- How's that tilt thing look like? Why is there a cut at the center frequency?
- What does the Bias Trim pot acutally do?
- Is there a way to adjust the low pass on the clean channel? On my fender it works great, but the Stingray likes it when the low pass is a bit lower than it is set now.

Funny thing is that in my quite dark rehearsal room I always stepped at the wrong side of the pedal because of the led

Haven't posted here yet.
Got an MBD-1 from my buddy @XXL a couple months ago.
It must have taken a hit during shipping, because it worked for all of 5 minutes, and then had this weird issue where the tone just dropped off, and it was all murky sounding. Thought it may have been the switch, but wasn't sure.
Reached out to Jeff, and then sent it in to him.
Turns out that one of the capacitors for the tone control was loose, and needed to be resoldered.
Jeff fixed it, free of charge, AND even sent out some swag. A DA pen and sticker.
Talk about your customer service. Helping out someone who bought your pedal second hand and standing behind your product.
Stand-up guy, IMO.

Now that the pedal is working.
Damn, what a pedal.
What can I say that everyone else hasn't already said?
This pedal provides such a solid tone, with a great amount of range.
It can do big, beefy distortion. It can do light overdrive. It can do a nice, fat, tube-y tone to warm up a SS rig.

TBH, I thought the tone would have a lot more saturation at full gain, but, even at full gain, it still provides a lot of clarity and articulation.
After spending some time with this pedal, I see the beauty, and genius, in it.
The low-passed clean channel is the real kicker, for me.
In my eyes, it makes perfect sense.
Bass distortions with clean blends have a tendency to have that infamous "box of bees" tone.
The low-passed clean channel alleviates that, by allowing the distortion channel to provide the highs, without having to compete with the unaffected highs from the clean side.
Overall, a very well thought out and designed pedal.
