Does anyone make a B15 in a pedal format?

[CryingBass]

Ya, a B-15 is super special, but I'm fine with the PF-50T these days.

Agreed. A PF-20/50T might get you close with a variety of good cabs.

The Transformer Line Outs of the PF-50T (and PF-20T) work nicely with FOH PA's, too.

Broughton is about to release a new pedal, called "Fliptop". The release date got moved back to 11/27.

Oh my and it has a cab sim too.... I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Kro, you don't want to just keep an eye on it. You want to be on the Broughton site F5ing next Friday to try to get one. It's the most complete B15 sound in a single, small pedal that has been offered anywhere by anyone.

You can also check out the Sushi Box Slampegg Bee Pre. It's a B-15 in a tube pedal. It has ultra hi, ultra lo and bright switches as well.

It's not based on the B15 but on the SVT which is a completely diferent beast.

You're right!

wow...I think that’s the first time I saw that on the internet.

Have you played every B15 inspired pedal offered anywhere by anyone? For that matter, have you played the pedal you referenced?

The Sushi Slampegg is real nice.

Some things just can’t be captured in a pedal. Ampeg has at least two: the B-15 and the SVT.
It’s the whole package, folks.

Pedals are about the only option for some of us folks. I'm in Australia and I keep an eye out for B15's. In the last decade I've seen a B15 head without cab and an B12 come up for sale. With exchange rates and shipping I'll never be able to import one.
Having said that, I had the biggest adrenalin rush ever when we showed up at our favourite local recording studio and the owner casually said "Hey I've got a new bass amp since you were here last if you wanna see it, it's an old Ampeg." Don't reckon I took a breath for a few minutes until he wheeled it out and there it was, a real actual genuine in the flesh early 60s B15. It was like meeting a Beatle. Best episode EVER.
Sound Park studio in Melbourne for any local folks with an interest. Great place to record

I'm not a bass player, i'm a audio engineer that tries to play bass as a hobby, i'm stuck big time with the G.A.S. syndrome and no wife to stop me... i do explore a lot and try different things

I have a PF-50T and a B-15R amp and cab's

If i compare them with a combination of a Barber Linden EQ thru a CabZone LE loaded with the Ampeg_Heritage_B15 IR from Shift Line, it's pretty darn close

I just pre-ordered a Slampegg this morning, pretty sure it will be even more close to the real thing when i swap it with the Barber. I was going for the Broughton Fliptop but it's so hard to buy one

For a SVT sound, i use a Broughton SV-PRE and the Ampeg_SVT-810E from Shift Line, i can tell you, it's like sitting next to it

I.R. (Impulse response) really opened up the possibilities, giving us ways to change rig's almost instantly

I use the same method....works amazingly well....

You don't speak any Broughtonese, do you? He just said, it' a nice pedal.

Yeah, if Zymba is going to be an @$$ like that I figured he doesn't really deserve a response. I have owned muitiple B-15n amps and tried forever to get that sound out of a larger, more powerful rig. There are some good software solutions for recording, but I haven't found anything great for live use until the Broughton Fliptop. It does it. The breakup is perfect and the cab sim being a wet/dry mix allows you to get that cab sound and mix it in to whatever degree your cab is already working for you. Roll the cab sim knob all the way up and play through a hi fi 4x10 and you have a legit B-15n tone/feel with whatever amount of power you want to throw at it. I have gigged a real B-15n A LOT, so I'm not making it up.

Saying its nice pedal would have been normal. Instead he hyped it

Don't believe the hype. Broughton stuff is garbage and not worth your time. Batches sell out in seconds because of hype alone...nothing to see there, just move along
