This is a great little tweakers pedal board. If you want a really good multi pedal board for a stupid low price of $199, get one of these. The Reverb and other effects sounds pretty damn good for the price. You can combine up to 3 effects at the same time. It has a tuner, drum machine, and on and on.........

Check the website for more info.

Some talkbass posters say its noisy. Its NOT noisy. I am picky on effects and think it is a really nice multi-board. The distortion will add a little noise but don't they all.

What do you want for $199..? That's near the same price as a single effect.

*** This will NEVER replace my live pedalboard but merely a toy to experiment with at home. It's far from pro level but pretty good processing for what it is. ***

I was just reading about this over on TB. I used to have a B2 but replaced it with separate pedals. This is tempting! It has a looper which would be fun to play around with.

If I didn't already have a Roland GT-10B, I'd buy this! Looks like a lot of fun, and is compact too... If only I didn't need to register my van (@ $350!) and buy new tires (@ 300!).... oh, and taxes are looming - need I say more? :? :lol:

Up to 40 seconds of loops and layering............ works A-O-K!! Even my grandmother can configure this box.

I don't use many effects on bass but as far as I concerned I think I am going to get the new fuzz MXR M84.

I have one too. I wouldn't use it in my live rig or record serious recordings but for something with a small footprint at home to practice with and try all kinds of far out effects you don't want to dish out a ton of cash for but want to experiment with that also is a great headphone amp, simple drum/rhythm machine, tuner, looper for 2 bones it's a freaking god sent. Perfect for my home studio practice space. And like no other multi board I ever had it is simple! No huge preprogramed crappy patches that you have to go in and change to get something useful. This is like 3 pedals you can change individually.

Now next on my list will be the line 6 product that you put your iPad into for the brain. I played a big gig last night and the guitar player from another band had it and it was insane...I hope the bass one will be next.
