Which BBE Stomp Box to pick?
I am not your typical stomp box guy. When I was growing up an fx pedal was a cheap way to get around the fact you owned a cheap sucky sounding amp. I have a VOX Wah, and a Vox Valvetronix AD50VT amp with a simple 2 channel switch that does just about whatever I want it to. My main axe is the Wil Ray Z3. The others include a home built dual HB short scale hard tail with the typical Seymour Duncan 59 and JB setup, each with a single coil tap and a three way toggle. Also have an old USA Kramer Focus 6000 with the neck and middle pups swapped out for Chandler Lipsticks. The others include a stock spec '65 Jaguar, the new Tribby ASAT Delux Carved Top in clear red, and about to land a later model S-500. I mostly play out in a worship service setting, but would also like to get my Hendrix on when opportunity permits.
So, I need to be read into the BBE cannon here. Please advise.

You might consider the Sonic Stomp or 382i Sonic Maximizer, as they can be used in just about any setup: guitar, bass, keyboards, and PA.
Just my $0.02.

My sound ranges from jangly, to furry clean, to a overdriven distortion- think Lenny Kravitz.louis cyfer wrote:what kind of sound are you looking for?

well, the double barrel could be useful, as well as the buckshot. the sonic stom is a great pedal, really opens up your sound, or the compressors might be up your alley.JagInTheBag wrote:My sound ranges from jangly, to furry clean, to a overdriven distortion- think Lenny Kravitz.louis cyfer wrote:what kind of sound are you looking for?

The 'Sonic Stomp' would probably suit you!JagInTheBag wrote:My sound ranges from jangly, to furry clean, to a overdriven distortion- think Lenny Kravitz.louis cyfer wrote:what kind of sound are you looking for?

Sonic Stomp or the 382 if you want a rack unit to use with your rig and with vocals, etc.

I know less than nothing about worship playing, but whenever I think of guitar in a church setting I think of Pops Staples. He used a lot of tremolo, and the BBE Tremor is a very nice one. The Buckshot is as good an overdrive as anything else.

Re: Which BBE Stomp Box to pick?
The style of worship playing varies as much as the different genres of Rock. The members of the band have hard rock, punk, metal and even grunge in their backgrounds. For services, we play contemporary stuff with an indie/rock to classic rock feel.blargfromouterspace wrote:I know less than nothing about worship playing, but whenever I think of guitar in a church setting I think of Pops Staples.

I get your meaning Louis. No Bentley driving (religious) gurus here. The sanctuary is just that- services held on Sunday, the same space is a PADS homeless shelter Monday. Paying or playing, both are important, it is all done with an attidue of grattitude.louis cyfer wrote:i am sure this is a misspell, yet a very ironic one "The style of worship paying varies"JagInTheBag wrote: The style of worship paying varies as much as the different genres of Rock.
