I needed another OD pedal like I need another hole in my head. But I'm addicted!
Bought a Mad Professor Simble after watching YouTube demos and reading reviews.
It is a great sounding pedal, however, after dialing in "my" preferred tone, I found it sounds nearly identical to the Boss FBM-1 I have....at least for this particular tone choice and it costs $100 more. One of the reviews I read, which was complimentary, stated as a 'con' that it really didn't do anything a number of other OD pedals do. True to a large degree. It does however have more touch sensitivity, which is nice. I think the FBM-1 has a wider variety of tone/sounds.
I tend to set a pedal and leave it at that setting in live performance rather than changing it during the gig.
I see so little about the Boss FBM-1, that I thought I'd put a plug in for it. When looking for an OD to Crunch pedal, don't overlook it.
Any others who have both the Simble and FBM-1 (or at least have played thru both) with similar or contrasting thoughts? And how different really is the Dumble amp sound compared to the Fender '59 Bassman LTD in your opinion?
