Tell me about the BBE Maximizer[views:5552][posts:15]_________________________________________________ [Feb 14,2010 3:59pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] [img] I just read last week how this works. I thought it was a compressor or an EQ, but actually it corrects envelope distortion/phase problems. I had no idea. Tell me your thoughts on it. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 14,2010 4:08pm - goatcatalyst ""] i used to use one like ten years ago. then i got a better amp. |

| _______________________________________________ [Feb 14,2010 4:59pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] think Hetfield in the 80's. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 14,2010 5:23pm - My_Dying_Bride ""] ive used a bbe 462 rackmount with my rig since i got my 5150 back in 03.... i think its great for boosting gain at low volumes. seems to pronounce chords well, cuts em through. but then again some people like the organic tube gain so its really preference. |

| _________________________________________________ [Feb 17,2010 9:56pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Hmmm...I would think the type of technology that it produces would be quite useful |
