I Present the IdiotBox Effects's Blower Box
- Thread starter SirMjac28

My B3K and Blower Box are both staying on the board! Don't care if they might have been "flavor of the month", for some, but they're tried and true favorites for me!
I had mine for 2 weeks. Tons of bass. Did not sit in the mix well with the band. Just didn't work for me.
You realize this is a BASS forum, right? Or you could turn down the bass knob...
I didn't say that the tons of bass part was a bad thing by any means.You realize this is a BASS forum, right? Or you could turn down the bass knob...
After hearing grygrx's demo, I'm really digging the simple 2-band EQ on the Blower Box. How many of you like the EQ even before dialing in the distortion? I'm sure it's been mentioned, but this is a pretty long thread...
Frankly, I crank the EQ MUCH more than I ever do the distortion. Distortion's at about 9:30, Bass at 3, Treble at 1:30.
The 2 band EQ on this pedal is so nice, I've never had a OD/Dist. pedal that gave me so much bass.
This is my "go to" pedal for angry dirt, and I suspect that won't change for a while.
USPS is taking like forever with mine, 3 weeks and dont even leave the USA yet.
Wow, weird.
Well, thanks to a couple of drinks, a couple of awesome demo vids, and just having sold a pedal for $130...I have a one of the limited edition screened BBs on it's way! Didn't need it, don't know that I have room for it, but....oh well!
I pretty much just decided to fire all my guns and step on every pedal I have. The Blower put the icing on this synthy little bit of cake.

so i ordered one of the limited screened pedals a week or so back, and it reached the UK today 
first impressions are very good - i run a BB preamp and a tall font russian, both pretty bass-heavy, so this sits really nicely between the two of them!!

Well, it arrived yesterday and I got to play around with it for a few minutes. I think the best way I can describe it is that the sound exactly matches the pedal artwork. Loving the high-gain sounds so far, but I need to spend more time outside of the face-melting range.
People mention the mid-scoop...can the be somewhat mitigated by dialing back both the treble and bass and increasing the volume?
