Madbean Bloviator/BBE Sonic Stomp

[flateric]

This is a little gem - Madbean's take on the BBE Sonic Stomp pedal, the 'Bloviator' - a harmonic exciter, adds depth, warmth, presence to everything, for guitar and bass (though only tried on guitar so far) Not much db boost just enhances the highs and lows without scooping the mids. Its a powerful effect but also quite subtle, and when you turn it off everything sounds sad, flat and thin. Great for really enhancing modulation fx too. Can I also say the Madbean PCB's are superb and make soldering onto a small crowded space a real pleasure. Worked first time no nonsense. Will get some sound clips posted up with bass after the weekend.

Have a look on youtube for BBE sonic stomp demos to see what this little fella can do.

Heres a quick demo, a couple of sound samples thru a boss loopstation showing the harmonic exciter (changed the box graphics a bit) sadly the camera mic compresses a lot of bass so you don't get a great feel for the full qualities of this pedal. Simplest I can explain is when you switch it off the sound sounds like its gone from stereo to mono

and the LED modulation on this one is...? completely arbitrary? ;D

- yes a pre-wired ebay led multi-colour, random flashing, couldn't resist it!
