I can't say I'm suprised I have experienced pink pedals first hand and I would definately reccomend them to a friend

Also RC how's the Moog?

the very best ring modulator I have ever heard, with the best controls imaginable. REALLY nice analog tone. I have been disappointed by most other ring mods, from the Android to the Frequency Analyzer. The moogerfooger really sounds awesome and the control scheme allows you very precise control and a wide range of useable (really!) settings. Unfortunately, the bypass SUCKS so it requires a looper.

As I've just invested in my rig and have a whole new synth on my mind, I already passed this on to fightthepower so maybe you should ask him what he thinks of it

I had tried the BBM in a shop and really liked it so I ordered one. It sounds pretty good and works fine with my active bass. I like the bass boost and the dry blend. However, my Blueberry can come pretty close to doing the same thing but with way better tone and depth so I sent it back. It's a pretty nice pedal, I just felt it was outclassed and I think I'd prefer a less fizzy fuzz.

does a BBM really sound fizzy with an active bass? I haven't tried

Difference of opinion here, I thought it sounded fizzy with my SR5 copy. It seemed to me that was the nature of the circuit, the bass boost and the dry blend improved it but I felt it still had that mid-scooped fizz thing going on. Of course, I liked it much better before I A/Bed it with my Blueberry. I may also be the only person who feels the Blueberry sometimes feels a little thin. It isn't, but sometimes I feel that way.

i like it the best in the dry mode but i cant get enough fuzz at unity gain there. if i dail as i like it the volume goes way over my dry signal. is there a way to solve this within that pedal it self? i mean i do not want to buy another pedal like a clean blend of a compressor.

thanks

That's also my only complaint with this pedal, that the blend level isn't variable in dry mode. Even an internal trimpot would be better than nothing.

why not just switch to blend mode, and have it blended most of the way up?

I mean they can't give you EVERYthing, it's a darn flexible little box and the more I use mine the less I GAS for other fuzz!

Ok so i have a B:assmaster too, that also helps
