It's back!!! This is a late 70's style OD. Like the Tube Screamer it uses an op amp ...but it ain't no Tube Screamer. lol
An op amp is as it suggests creates a clean boost that by adding clipping diodes you get some dirt. There are many types of clipping diodes and usually more then one is added. If you want some 'nasty's in the sound an led diode does the trick. Use all led diodes and you get a supper gnarly sound like the BBE.
It has a simple layout of level tone and gain.There isn't anything sweet and creamy about this sound. It is a look out world here I come!!! It actually sounds like a real hot rodded Marshall JCM 800 from the 80's
though that can often mean a bit of annoying fizz.
CONCLUSION
Everything old is new again. This pedal been around for 7 or 8 years but and the BBE pedal line has been temporarily out of service for a few years. But surprise!!! They're back.
I wouldn't recommend it with Fender single coils or Fender amp. It simple doesn't have a full mid range.
An LP through a Marshall with some Marshall crunch is half the sound in the video.
