Here's my too-lazy-to-bring-my-tube-amp rig for tonight's rehearsal. The MBD into the BB800 is pure gold. I could probably use just this rig for anything I do, but where's the fun in that? :)

Throwback Thursday: Here's my special edition gray-box from many moons ago. I wish I had two.

what was wrong with it other than the obvious?

It is finicky and too dark. I took it apart to service and never got around to it.

The knobs barely work. It's basically all or nothing with the gain and level.

Just needs some TLC which I never got around to doing.

The tape was to mark settings in the studio.

Gotcha. I’m putting new tubes in mine today. I get quite a decent range with gain and it has tons of volume and tons of bass. It’s defintely a darker drive. I recently fixed my treble knob so now it’s a tad brighter.
 
Quick question.
Anybody use a fifth gear to boost the mbd-1. I'm thinking of adding the mbd-1 to my board. I have the FG as always on. I want to add the mbd-1 for the extra umph when needed. Or should I do mbd-1 plays on the the fg?Chain is tuner>comp>fg>(mbd-1)>chorus>amp.

Thanks
I did, it adds quite a bit of mids and thickens it up
