BBE Pedals ?? Quiet!!

studio1087 · April 4th, 2008, 11:06 PM

I just bought a BBE Orange Squash and I like the tone a lot.

I cannot get over how quiet the pedal is. I can crank the bias (compression) wide open and the pedal is silent in my amp. It is perfectly silent when both knobs are cranked wide open.

This is my first BBE pedal.

Are they all this quiet??

Do you own any other BBE's?

Thanks,

John

My Sonic Stomp is dead quiet with batteries and adapters. Although I usually use a battery since 9Volts last forever in these things.

I have teh Green Screamer and the Free Fuzz. Both are quiet too, good pedals for the money.

I have the sonic stomp and freq boost, both dead quiet. I will be buying more BBE's, great pedals at fair prices.

i've had most of them at some point:

Sonic stomp
Boosta Grande
Orange Squash
Green Screamer
Crusher Distortion
Freq Boost

and all of them were quiet. For my money, they are extremely well built pedals. Right now I just have the Sonic stomp and Green Screamer, but the others were great too (just needed some extra cash at the time)

+1 on the Boosta Grande - dead quiet at all volumes.
