On the other hand, Jason Ricci swears by it. You really have to try it with your rig or as close as you can get in a music store setting and decide if it's right for you.

IMHO using a BBE can sound out of place in the band mix depending on your mic/amp combination.  I'd rather use a really good mic/amp or ampsim or an RP setup or use a Sansamp and go direct.  I think BBEs mostly make a good boat anchor.

So, some of the discussion lately has been about buying books rather than
putting in the time practicing.  That can happen with gear, too.  That said,
Musicians Friend keeps having the BBE sonic maximizer on sale.  Can I get a
few opinions about that piece of gear?

Thanks!
