I liked it better without the BBE. Did you put it on the entire mix?

+1 ... but the low end is now nice and solid.
BTW, I am listening on Acoustic Research AR18s with the Graham's mod. Essentially, an English domestic two-way loudspeaker. Not exactly a dedicated flat response studio monitor but a long term favourite of producers such as Hugh Padgham. (Police, Genesis, blah, blah.)
If you have been monitoring on typical computer loudspeakers, the bass frequencies will have been artificially boosted. Consequently, what sounded balanced to your ears will, in fact, have been hugely bass light.

You need to be careful with the BBE imo, I personally don't like the effect. You should be able to get a perfectly good mix without.

Re: Ibanez Clip: pt 3.
Strictly speaking, these high frequency enhancer devices were intended for studio use with analogue tape recorders. Heavy tape use eventually removes the magnetic oxide from the tape surface, thereby killing some of the high frequency detail. The Aphex and BBE gadgets simulated some of the information that had been lost.
Overuse of exciter/enhancer on speech recordings introduces unnatural sibilance. On acoustic guitar, it brings out the plectrum/nail noises, fret rattles and string squeaks. On amplified electric guitar, it tends to emphasise the zizziness and transformer noises.
