variable HPF and LPF in a pedal?

You get commissions or something. You mentioned it. You also asked a question, and I answered it. And BTW, I owned one for three days before I returned it. Sounded great in the store, I'll give it that.

Geez, man, why don't you break a bottle across a table and stab the jagged edges in my eye over it?

Ha! If my post sounded harsh, I didn't mean it. Sorry... :) And no, I couldn't care less about "promoting" the DBBMP or EHX. And I figured you had tried it--I was just pointing out that most haven't, and the "many of us don't like it" seemed pretty disparaging for a stupid little pedal.

And you certainly did answer my question, with perfectly valid answers--for JimmyM. I just pointed out that neither reason you gave seems to apply to the group as a whole.

The answer to this is in the forum rules. PM me if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!

Ok, I get that you can't sell directly. But can't answer a direct question? And neither can a single one of your customers? I mean look at poor JimmyM, he has frickin' amnesia over it somehow!!! ;) It just struck me as fairly weird, I guess...

I'll answer any question I'm allowed to. Send me a PM and I can tell you.

Only semi parametric though? Looks cool. No lpf though I don't think.

if you have active basses or play upright bass like me the3n you dont have tone knobs

This is true. Get a passive bass and an electric upright lol.

Tone knobs on passive basses also roll off upper mids at a quicker rate than the highs, usually resulting in a mild but unwanted mid scoop, whereas an LPF usually just does a highs roll-off and doesn't affect anything below the roll-off point. That's why I got one instead of just using the tone knob.

I didn't know this before - I thought it just was at the high end of the frequency spectrum. I wish manufacturers would specify the lpf roll off on the tone knob (if they do I'd be interested in seeing one).
 
I've just recently started using hpf/ lpf courtesy of the awesome Broughton Studio One. It has 3 band Eq with sweepable mid, transformer balanced DI, along with the oft mentioned Broughton hpf/lpf. There's also a gain stage based on a Neve circuit for additional flava. Gives me all of my utilities in one little box, powered by 9v.
