This is a great idea. My Rat Tail is like that. Although I never really use that feature, if the MBD1 had a 2nd switch like a second/more gain option, I would use that. That would be so dope! What would be even cooler, if you could work it out to where it could be like a mod. So guys like me, if I wanted this, I could just send the pedal to you and you could add it!! That would be the best!
I wish the MBD1 had more gain on tap sometimes. I use it as an OD all the time. BUT, if it more gain, I would use it as a dist too.

More gain means more noise and more splat. It just needs to be done right.
Stacking seems to work better than just pumping everything up to 11.

It is. I'm just cautioning myself from taking the easy way out.
I'm saying MBD as it currently is, but say, footswitchable gain 1 at noon, or gain 2 dimed , for example.
I think option B
Like this?
Edit: Then I could dime the internal gain trimmer and still have a low gain setting and a high gain setting (with the two external controls) I'm getting excited!

I honestly love the MBD just how it is. I would use a boost though even though I dont “need” it. I think this would be the best change to the pedal if there is going to be one.
Second gain stage would be cool too but honestly probably wouldnt use it much either. Im also one of the weirdos who like the bigger enclosure.

Boom!!!
Man I run my MDB through a Mesa M6 and a Berg 610t and now that feels like a practice rig!! Rock On!!
I rocked a Buster 200 with 2 Diesel 115s for at least a decade. Totally awesome rig.... this is what I’m rocking now.
Installed some Davies Black 1470 knobs. I really liked the look of the [White MBD-1] original knobs, but was having trouble quickly seeing the settings, with only the dot at the base of the knob...
Btw, the Davies Oxblood 1470 knobs are a-w-e-s-o-m-e, but I couldn’t find them...the black 1470’s are very nice though!

What do you wanna know?
The planned launch date is 8/15.
I will be getting some demos done soon.
Are the controls finalized? Does it have a blend? Is the "final" box gonna be pink like the prototype one I've seen on Instagram? See any good movies lately? What's up with the three footswitches?

It's three effects in one.
It's a special artist model based on the pedals he uses.
It's not intended to be a bass specific pedal so there's no clean blend.
Each footswitch turns each effect on as needed.
Yes the controls are set. No more intended mods.
Despite my best efforts it sounds awesome on bass but it's absolutely killer on guitar.
Yes. It's Pink.
