lol!
I use a x-blender with a bass bb preamp. It sounds great and has some extra frills here and there. I'm not looking to own a plethora of pedals as well, really just for some texture. A little ironic how the TWO pedals are used to achieve a blended subtle drive.
This is a good clip for it -
Regarding the discontinued preamp, if that's the Tri-logic, i've looked at that too, but did not pull trigger on that one.
I use the Robotalk 2 and the X-Blender pedal. The quality is top notch and the pedals are extremely quiet.
Tried the the Robotalk in a shop last winter and was pretty impressed. The 2 settings feature is pretty useful IMO. Also considering the Groove Regulator, which I haven't tried yet. Can you compare between the 2 ?
I have not had the opportunity to spend any serious time with the Groove Regulator. I was once in the studio and a guitar player had one. I got to spend less than 5 minutes with it. Not enough time to give it a respectful review.
Owner of both the RC and BB pedal, which are absolutely at the high-point of what they're made to do - I can't imagine my PB without them... especially
the BB overdrive, which for my money is the best "SVT-In-A-Box" out there.![]()
