Exar BC-04

So I was looking through the Ovnilab reviews and saw the Exar BC-04 review.

Being a fan of squish, I was like

My predicament is that I already have a Jacques Fat Burner which does squash really well (IMHO). I was wondering if anyone had some experience with both pedals, and if there is enough difference in the two to justify owning both.

For me at least, it's been almost four years since I had the Jacques, so my memory is kinda blurry. But based on the notes I took at the time, I think it's the same compression circuit in both. Also based only on the notes, the EXAR doesn't seem to get as noisy as the Jacques did. OTOH the EXAR doesn't have the headphone amp or the "muscle" control.

disclosure: I'm an EXAR rep.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
