Worshipbass, we're in the same boat. BDPG and my Dali-stache should arrive this week.
Factor in cost on something like that. Plus real estate is an issue for 99% of pedal dudes, so turning a pedal sideways is a dealbreaker. We would gladly do a custom job if this is something you wanted.
Costwise and realestatewise how about individual bypass switches close enough to double stomp. Still a lot smaller than 2 pink elephants![]()
I think there would be a few takers on that. Commissioning custom builds is out of my price bracket, I scoop up cast offs.
I looked at the new updated user manual for the BDPG, the newer one is in a much smaller box than my older silly big thing that can fit dual. Good job saving real estate.
As far as I'm aware, the box in the instructions pic is the old box. It now comes in the standard 1590BB enclosure by default, which measures 4.67 x 3.68 x 1.18 Inches.
Got my rat king in the mail JUST NOW and I'm super!!!! I think it may be #10? It has a 010 on the back
Nice! You going to leave it bare?

Looks like that would be my old RK. Have fun!
On the other side of the coin:One thing to remember with the BDPG is to factor in the low end boost it delivers in most bass friendly settings with the overall volume output of the pedal. There is a difference between unity going on the normal sound of the bass and when you listen to the amount of low end this puppy is pushing, at least when you're running it through the preamp of a bass head.This is a seriously powerful pedal, the less speakers you use, the more you need to reign in the volume unless you like re-coning speakers. That being said it has become my main tone. My bass with this pedal are one thing, and my amp dials it in for the speakers. So having two in one box would sound great, but you would have to dial in everything more, possibly to the point where bypassing the pedal would yield a less than desirable sound.
On the other side of the coin:
I've been fartarsing around with mine all morning trying to figure where it's going in my board. The lack of gain at somewhat clean tone has become apparent and disturbing. It really doesn't do cleanish unless it's always on and the gain is made up after it.
I feel this should be stated in the blurb rather than simply saying it doesn't do clean. The just a hair of overdrive tone is stunning, as in the very slightly dirty "clean" demo, but it's unobtainable as an effect without putting it in its own loop with a gainstage after it.
