I age in cat years, though. So the wait was like, 4 years. LolWasn't that long in the end then
Nice! The tracking on mine FINALLY updated and it is supposed to be here Monday.
I haven't had this amount of excitement for a pedal in a long time. Definitely late to the Blower Box party but from everything I've heard, it is worth the wait.
Nice! Excited to hear your thoughts on it once it arrives.. I’ve a set of GZRs & new strings coming in on Monday, so setting up my basses will tide me over for Tuesday’s Blower Box arrival— I love good gear weeks lol
Mine arrived today! Going to settle in for a proper introduction shortly. Beer will probably be involved.
Mine came too! Got to fiddle with it for a bit earlier this afternoon.. even with all of the knobs @ noon it absolutely slays.
It’s pairing REALLY well with my Tech 21 Oxford pushing it..
Glad to have one back on the board!!
Soooooo, this Blower Box is pretty killer. It's a lot more flexible than I expected it to be and it is really usable throughout the whole gain range. (I guess that's the Rat DNA shining through.)
Like a lot of others, I have found that the Highs control is best left in the lower positions since the BB can get pretty bright, especially through a cab with a tweeter.
The Gain maxed, Highs set low and the Lows somewhere in the middle range is probably where mine will be most of the time. It's a lot of fun playing loud with those settings and the low end stays nice and fat. There is also plenty of cut so getting buried by distorted guitar doesn't seem like it will be a problem.
The Blower Box is the equivalent of using a sledgehammer, a chainsaw and a scalpel all at the same time. Very impressed with this thing!

Just picked this up...wow what an awesome pedal! Tons of bass in this thing. It's one of the best looking pedals I've seen too.
Have a BB that I use in an OBNE Signal Blender and it seems that if I put the BB in a loop with any other gain pedal that they are always out of phase with each other. I've tried other pedals together and it only seems to be when the BB is involved. Its not the end of the world but sometimes I'd like to have it in a loop with say an AO. Not knowing anything about these things, is this just the way the BB is wired or is there anything I can do about it?
Can't believe this thread is eight years old and that pedal is so loved
It’s a good one, for sure. I only sold the two I’ve had to top off the funds for major GAS purchases.. honestly if I weren’t in the process of selling my dang house I’d have put in a preorder for this one already!! I’m stoked to hear it!
Holy sh!t. I want one right now. Loved my blower box, but sold it. Blower Box with clean AND low pass sounds awesome.looking forward to getting this...
I ordered one, too. I haven't played an original BB but the hype is so high around it that I figure the Deluxe has to be even better.
Totally depends on an individual’s Distortion and EQ settngs, and unity will sound different depending on what frequencies are hyped or cut by the chain after the Box.
Figured I'd keep the thread current.I came across the BB cruising the web recently and then I got an email from Coast Sonic.The latest version of it was staring me in the face for $129 so what the heck.Tracking says it'll be here Saturday.Hope it lives up to the hype.
