Which BBE Sonic Maximizer for guitar?

Re: Which BBE Sonic Maximizer for guitar?

I've never found these things to be of much use for guitar, other than adding a bit of sparkle to an acoustic. Bass on the other hand, definitely.

I'd look to be able to try one out before committiing to anything if at all possible, and the Behringer ones are cheap enough to take a small hit in the wallet etc.

Well, since you brought it up, the intention of the thread was to try to get an understanding of the differences between the models, and to politely signalize that I was not interested in yet another discussion on the merits of the product. It didn't work too well, did it? I'll make a note of it having been too subtle, and make sure to bring a sledgehammer the next time.

Title says it all,

" Which BBE Sonic Maximizer for guitar? "

I dunno, what colours do they come in ? I'd suggest getting one the same colour as your guitar.

That said, almost every guitar player on the planet has had one, most of them had it briefly.

Ha..ha...yuuppp. I used it until I got my EQ, the point when I realized it was crap. I still have it though just for visual.

Isn't it peculiar that this POS has been around since probably the late 80s and people still fall for BBE's bogus esoteric technical jargon.

The guitar pedal version is Sonic Stomp.

They do a great job of adding to the scoop. If that's what you want, it's effective. That said, almost every guitar player on the planet has had one, most of them had it briefly.

The 282iq's pop up on eBay sometimes, they are a nice half rack unit.

I need one of the new sonic stomp mini's.

I like them, have had a bunch.

I got it. I was just trying to embellish.

Oral is your mouth. Aural is your ear. Which orifice are you looking to "excite"?

Yeah that was basically my joke. I'll try to make my smartassism more obvious next time, although it might be hard to more obvious lol.

I'd be down for that oral exciter!

All kidding aside, the BBE unit is clearly not everyones cup-'o-tea. It's a subtle affect. But fun when it works. I like fun. YMMV.

Stereo rack is great. I use a stomp for my acoustic (Aphex).

Much like a compressor - if you don't know how to use it, it'll end up an obnoxious crappy EQ. Much like a compressor - less is less.

Thanks, I am looking for a stereo rack version.

To each their own. Personally, I like what it does and since it's been around since the 80's, and is still in use, I must not be the only one.

If you must have it, there is the clone version from Behringer, Sonic Ultramizer, or the Aphex clone Sonic Exciter.
