I came today in 2 days as Prymaxe said. Used but looks new ...new box, wrap, with pick and ear plugs. This is an amazing OD and pretty much the best I heard at least what I like in a pedal. Thanks guys for all your info regarding this great pedal.

Well, yeah. I mean, it’ll add low end of course the more bloop you blend in. But it does a really good job and keeping unity across its range it seems to me. So I guess you’d get an output bump. May be a perceived volume bump (I’m not that good with the science of sound) but again, it’s not like it would ever need a volume/gain control on it IME.
also, if you were to dime the blend, it’ll add full on blended bloop. Fully CCW is about no bloop blend. Just a tad added, close to none.
pedalboard ready for the new band first outing.
Once the bloop is available again with a EU dealer, I’ll be replacing the last two pedals with a bloop and a modified dod250 clone.

Can't remember if I asked or not,
But what is the frequency of the depth control on the MBD?
Also, is it the same on the Curmudgeon 2?

Anyone got any advice on getting more mids from an MBD2? I find the Depth control sits below what I want to emphasize, and the tilt eq kind of does the opposite of what I want at either setting.
Much of this might be the fault of the rest of the chain, especially by TI flats and Shift Line Olympic, which has cut-only mids.

If the depth and clean is off and the tone is fully clockwise is that enough mids?
have you tried it solo with no other effects.
the MBD2 doesn’t cut a ton of mids but it doesn’t really add many either.
How do you have your preamp set?

I'm going to have to try those things tonight. Thanks for the prompt response. Will report back.
I have a different approach to my settings.
With the distortion side all the way off,
I use the clean side to set to roughly unity volume.
Then, I turn the tone up to 3 o'clock or so, gain set to taste, then I gradually raise the volume of the distorted side to get my highs back.
This way, I get a very thick tone, with a nice, crunchy top-end.

Maybe this only applies to my situation, but I think this would be an awesome addition to the Bloop. Ok, so what if the Bloop had a built in noise gate. Considering the main use is to run your dirt pedals through the Bloop and that’s where most or all the noise comes from. Adding a noise gate would get two birds stoned at once.
Bad idea?
Good idea?
Not plausible?

Has anyone had success using anything to dampen the floodlight that is the MBD's LED? I bought some of those blackout stickers from Amazon, but they would stick well.

I’ve installed a bunch of these, I like them mucho.
I went with the rockboard jewels as well. Almost looks like it belongs there.
Also put one on my Super 300's engage led, but not on the 'bright' led. I like having an obnoxious reminder that I'm boosted.
Still bright enough to see that it’s on, but not so bright that it blinds me from seeing settings.
The asymmetry on the S300 is f'ing with my oCD
, but it works. I should have turned the boost on to see the difference.I think the mxr gets one next...
Simple question : the Bloop, is it really a game changer?
One popped up in the used market, which is rare on the side of the Atlantic...

“Game changer” sounds so dramatic. It’s an awesome pedal if you have the need of it. Like if you have a dirt pedal that you adore, but kills the low end. Or my favorite use, helping out a band pass/ peak/or high pass envelope filter. So freakin cool on filters.
