I have two. Should I buy a third?

Get it! If it fails the A/B test you might find the space savings more valuable anyway. If you pick it up from a chain store I'm sure youd have no problem returning it either.

 

Sure, buy the one you want, sell the others.

 

3 is more than 2 and more is better than less.

Hit the Buy it Now button already.

 

This is TalkBass. Like we are really going to say "No, don't buy it. You have enough."

 

I have two OC-2 pedals. When I find a third in a local shop I will grab it without hesitation. Come to think of it, why stop at three?

 

Might have been mental, but I haven't liked the BB Nanos I've had as much as the big USA bois I've had (and still have)

 

I have four Tech21 Leeds pedals and I say go for it!

 

I wish EHX would release a nano with polished aluminum like the older NYC ones

And yes why not buy another? As previous posts have said you may save space for something else!
Best wishes,

No, don't buy it. You have enough.

The real question should be, "is three going to be enough?"

 

Two points:

1. What would happen if you had two of those three on your board and had the option of stacking each other like a guitarist?

2. I’m not going to say who but I have two of the exact same pedals from a popular pedal company, and both have had their footswitch die on my at shows after incredibly minimal usage (like one song per show or less over the course of a couple years). If I had a third one I could keep using that effect while the other two are being repaired.

 

i also have the habit of buying multiples of gear that i'm fond of.

 

Absolutely not. What would your significant other think if they knew you had 2 and were considering a 3rd?

Spoiler

I don’t really feel this way, in fact I’d already have the 3rd, but someone had to say it, right?

 

The Nano sound and feel very close but being analog once you start getting picky they all have variations. If you want smaller the Mooer Sweeper is a clone with the internal sweep controls outside. But once you tweak those sweep controls it ain't ever a stock BB anymore, still a sweet pedal but different.

I keep hoping EHX would do a sexy graphic version or even a dual version of the Dr Q and BB.

 

I own 2, the big NYC and the nano. I bought the NYC version many years ago and when i tried it, I hated it. Put it away for five years and when I tried it again, I still hated it.

Few years later again, I took it out again and tried distortion in front of it and that's when i fell in love with it.

To my ears the nano and the big one don't sound exactly the same, and I prefer the older one but it's not that different.

Try to get a used nano, it's small, doesn't cost a fortune and should you don't like it, you shouldn't lose a lot of money when selling it again and it's definitely more sturdy and better built than the NYC version.
