Does anyone make a B15 in a pedal format?

I find the Catalinbread SFT (the latest version) gets closer to a B-15 rather than the SVT it’s name is a play on.

One of the few dirt boxes I haven’t tried yet: lots of them (VT Bass, Bass Station, and others) were great but just not “it”.

The HX Stomp is still the closest to the real deal.

So is your search done or are you looking for a smaller form factor? Where do you stack up the P15 among the various tube pre/DIs you've tried recently?

@MDBass, how are you liking the P-15?

Edit: Extreme beat me to it!

P-15 is excellent, and I prefer it to the REDDI due to it’s added versatility.

That said, a pretty big part of the magic of the B15 is in both the power section of the amp and the unusual baffled 15” cab itself, so I’ve found that digital is the way I’ll need to go to best emulate the whole thing.

We made some downright amazing sounding Kemper profiles while tracking with the real deal, so I may end up going that route again down the road.

We’ll see how the year pans out ;)

I just wanted to say that after this thread popped up, I started using the B15 in the Stomp more out of curiosity... and man does it sound good. I won’t vouch for the accuracy in comparing it to the original because I’ve never used the original, but with the matching cab, it really does have some magic in it.

MDBass, any hints at your tuck and go settings in the stomp? I've only recorded a few times with a b15, was glorious, but some help dialing in the stomp to b-15 land would be appreciated!

Exact settings really depend on the bass and what kind of sounds you're wanting to get out of it.

I've been running the master all the way up and using the drive control to achieve various levels of dirt on the front end, pretty sure I'm using a 47 on the cab, and the Teemah! pedal is my favorite for stacking dirt.

That's similar to what I've been doing. Someone had mentioned adjusting the high and low mids, not sure if you found that as well. Yes, bass and everything dependent!

Broughton Audio makes this exact thing although it's currently unobtanium.
https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/sv-pre

There were for sale one morning and sold out in less than 5 minutes
They were available a few days later and again instant sell out.
I tried both times.
VERY FEW audio samples of this even in the Broughton thread.
Making pedals is his hobby so it's not run like a tradtional company, meaning sometimes he will cancel a product and some times there is no projected date for new inventory.
