The59Sound Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Is there anything out there on the market that is similar to the RC BB? I can't really justify dropping £200 on a pedal right now and wondered if there were any alternatives. FYI I'm looking for a pedal to give me a few more EQ options after my BBBOD. Thanks!

Bigwan Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Pedalparts do it in kit form if you know anyone handy with a soldering iron - an easy enough build too (speaking from personal experience). I believe there are clones of the guitar version out there (Mooer Pure Boost, Caline Highway Man), but not the bass version, but that never stopped (Nashville session great) Michael Rhodes who used the guitar version for years before the bass version was released.

paul_5 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Fuzzdog do one called the Big Beefy Preamp. I’ve made a couple and they’re very good. https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Big_Beefy_Preamp_-_Boost_and_Overdrive/p847124_10530483.aspx or a simple booster https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Acti-Boost_-_Type_A_and_Type_R/p847124_10449859.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yes, note that there is no BB RC Booster. There's the Bass RC Booster and the Bass BB Preamp. Different circuits. Similar tone shaping from both, but more drive from the BB. RC was a bit tame for me, but does add the tiniest bit of hair if desired.

pete.young Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Some of the Zoom pedals have emulations of the Xotic Bass BB Pre-Amp and the Xotic EP Booster . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
