Does anyone make a B15 in a pedal format?

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

You want to be on the Broughton site F5ing next Friday to try to get one.

I did the thing.

Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

Nice! Put it through a nice hi fi rig and dial up that cab sim...it feels like you're playing through a B-15n.

My rig is very hi-fi

Let me expand: I'm not looking for a REDDI. It's great at what it does, but not what I'm after, and I already own one.

I recently tracked in a studio with an actual B15 for the first time, and after picking my jaw up off the floor and taking myself home found that the UA plugin is a fairly close amalgam.

Unfortunately, using either of these things live is a non-starter.

What I'm hoping to find is something in pedal format that will allow me to avoid the cost and bulk of purchasing a Kemper and profiling a B15 for my touring work next year.

I currently have some REALLY excellent pedals (X7, AOU, DP3X, BDDI, Q/Strip, OCSD, and a whole mess of dirt and fuzz boxes) but as of yet everything has fallen short of the mark I'm looking for.

I'm interested in anything under $1k that offers the same rich midrange, musical overdrive/distortion and even punch across the entire fretboard as a B15.

There's a $20 in it for the chap who points me in the right direction

GO!

You've gotten many replies so I don't know if it's been put out there already but I own the One Control Crimson Red bass preamp that's designed after the B - 15 and this wee pedal does a nice job.Also it is reasonably priced.

Crazy to see this thread still pretty active over two years later!

I tried a BUNCH of very nice pedals mentioned here, but all fell short of the mark aside from the HX Stomp with some third party IR’s.

I’ve since sold the Stomp as my touring tone needs went another direction, but I still use HX Native in the studio regularly.

I’m surprised the Line 6 bass pod doesn’t get mentioned more in these kinds of threads. The flip top model sounds about as close to the real thing as it gets to my ears. Given, I have limited experience with “the real thing”, but as far as a great sounding approximation of what I have come to know and love as B15 tone, it’s there. Throw in a built in tuner, DI and lots of tweakability all had for cheap and it’s a contender.

Jerry Casale uses one when he plays live with Devo. Only thing I didn't like about it was it didn't truly sound like a tube amp and didn't have enough processing power to get as close to it as a comp plugin or something like the Helix, but if you let that dream go, the B-15 model is really pretty good.

"Oh no it's Devo!" I have always been a big fan and Jerry's live Steinburger tone is a good one.

Did anyone win the 20 bucks?

Just wanted to let everyone know that we just launched a public Indiegogo campaign to help get our
Tsunami V-15 into production. There is a lot of video and information on that page. Any help would be great. Since this page is about the B15 I figured it would be a good place to post as the B15 was the main inspiration for our V-15.
Thank you all
