OK, I admit I was wrong; the FX25B is good

I like mine... my only complaint is the bypass issue.

OK, here's a clip: Link Removed
Standard disclaimer you've been hearing from me these days--the levels are kinda screwy and I hate the recording software I'm using (it was free).

Thanks for the clip; huge funkyness

On the 2-knob versions, approx where is the blend set relative to the 3 knob?

I'll post my comparisions of the 3rd gen 2-knob vs. the 5th gen 3 knob as soon as the brown truck arrives

Well I just got the bottom left one in a trade, and its def. not my cup of tea. I dont dig the volume drop and I like to hear the filter working even in the most subtle of my playing.

The 2-knob ones don't have any blend at all; on my X-Blender, I had the blend knob set to about 1:30, or (very roughly) 65% wet.

Sorry, what I was trying to ask was, if the 2 knob has no blend knob; is it set full on (as compared to the adjustable blend of the 3 knob)

 

[bongomania]

Yes, and that's what I meant by "it doesn't have any blend at all". It's 100% wet, no clean bass signal passes.
