I Present the IdiotBox Effects's Blower Box

But...you did say it blew your Darkglass away in an earlier post! I get your point man, I'm just nit pickin' in a fun manner. I have the sansamp bddi deluxe and I know that it has it's place in many aspects of my tones, but the BB will really give me a lot more grind! Both will be on my board.

You're right I got caught up in the excitement when I said that :) I took a gamble selling my B3K to get this pedal and it paid off. I had to taper my comments in that last post because Darkglass gets some serious well deserved love around here and that was a pretty bold statement to make because there is no other pedal quite like the B3K or B7K they have a very unique sound which I love but for some reason it just didn't work with my new tube setup along with a number of other pedals that I sold. I like the Blower Box because it's so versatile it was exactly what I was looking for.

Oh man, if I had to pay a dollar to TB for every time I shot my mouth stating "this is the coolest thing ever!!!", I would def be a gold supporting member by now. It happens. I know I can speak for myself when I say this, I get excited as all get out when pedals hit my door step. And fa'get about it if I feel its a awesome pedal the first 10 min I get it out of the box. And even more so when its a pedal like the BB that has exceeds my expectations. I am the first to post on TB about how cool and awesome and sweet that pedal is. I dont care though, the day I stop getting super stoked over pedals will be a sad day indeed. I will forever get stoked about gear.

Tube amps do change a lot of your setup I would imagine.
 
Here's a gut shot

Very cool sir


Thanks buddy. I wish I had the know how to really do a decent demo. I have an interface and a computer but I just don't know how to record that kind of stuff. Never studied up. It would've been nice to get the bass to come through. I played with the settings a little bit in the first one without the POG2 to try and show off the low gain settings too.
 
The bass was definitely lacking because of the phone but I could imagine what was missing. It sounds good, really looking forward to getting it. You are definitely not helping my wait :)

And I wish I was able to make a clip also because I can get it to sound even more subtle I like just a taste of hair and this pedal is capable of doing that.
