Tonight i finaly brought the BTII along for a gig... AND IT WAS GREAT.
I had an entire different setup, which was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off.. big time.
We played a medium sized bar, guitar and bass both without PA. Things were smooth and i really liked the sound. Very natural, like a double bass should sound. No feedback issues neither. Bandmates were also very happy with this improvement.
Happy camper here :D

I just added a Darkglass head to my BB2. It's a pretty brutal combination. I'm enjoying it more than I expected. I wanted to test it out as a potential to "downsize" from my Demeter head. Still getting things sorted, but liking what I'm hearing.
Hey Monster, I was kicking around the Darkglass. I have the BB2 and SM. How is it for classic rock and blues? Not sure if I would use the OD too much.

It's not shabby. I honestly don't like the DG B3K or VMT high gain sounds, but I do like how they work at lower gain and blended sounds. I could see it working quite well. I've pulled most of my other pedals out of the chain, as the head has quite a bit of range. My one keeper is the DA120 from Dunwich, but it's not a must have. My Demeter head is nice, in that you can't eq it to sound bad. The DG head gives you enough EQ rope to hang yourself, and you can tweak yourself into questionable tone if you aren't mindful. The pure clean tone on the head is nice, but a bit sterile or lackluster. You really want to blend in a touch of the Microtubes signaled get the most character out of it. If you've got the cash, it's worth testing one out. I've yet to push it in a band, but hope to soon. It seems like it'll be much louder than I need with the BB2.

The DG head does get a bit of fan noise at lower volumes. It also hisses a touch, which will come through if you've got your tweeters up.

Thanks for the feedback. Always looking at new options, particularly with the BF cabs
