ZPQ Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi, I'm just about to put a new pedal board together and had intended to get an ebs multicomp but I've just come across the BBE opto stomp. I've read some rave reviews and some saying it's too subtle and it's noisy. If anyone has one I'd appreciate your comments Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has one I'd appreciate your comments Thanks John[/quote] I've been using mine only for about 6 months and I'd gree that it is, indeed, subtle which, in my book at least, is a recommendation. I have experieced no noise whatsoever from my rig as a result of uisng it and I've had nothing but positive comments from House Sound Engineers. I tend to have my Volume set at about 11.00 - 12.00 o'clock and my Compression at about 10 o'clock and it really tightens and evens thing up. I leave it on all the time and wouldn't want to be without it. FWIW, my signal chain is: [b]Active Bass > BossTU2 > BBE OptoStomp > SansAmp BDDI > Amp.[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At approx £50 these might be a bit of a bargain. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPQ Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm annoyed I didn't buy one last week when they were only £45, but I think I'm going for a rack rather than pedal setup now so it's not the end of the world.
