BBE

Posted by: tim <tim@...>

After hearing the difference the BBE makes during a workshop with the
electric guitarist for Chris Tomlin, I'm going to try one on my rig. But
which unit? Here's the info clip from the website:

***

882i unit features dual-mono operation with balanced XLR inputs and
outputs. It is designed for applications requiring low noise, high
headroom and +4dBu input levels.

482i is perfect for semi-pro applications not requiring balanced jacks.
With true dual-mono operation, the 482 is two independent BBE SONIC
MAXIMIZERT signal processors in one chassis.

The 362 series delivers the sound-improving benefits of BBE sound
processing technology with the convenience of ganged-stereo operation.

The 362NR combines our full-featured BBE SONIC MAXIMIZERT signal
processor with an independent, single-ended noise reduction system in a
single rack-space unit.

The 362SW combines a full-featured BBE SONIC MAXIMIZERT signal processor
with an independent subwoofer control with a variable low-pass filter
and output level control.

Here's my rig:

I'm running two outputs from my Godin LGX electric.

Electric path: guitar to Johnston Millennium amp/modeler to BBE to snake

Acoustic path: guitar (through Roland GK-2A sampler) to Roland GR33
Guitar Synth with straight acoustic signal looped through Digitech RP200
and mixed on guitar and out to BBE to snake

***

Here's my application:

I lead worship with the straight acoustic signal as my primary signal. I
generally use the synth for background pad sounds and only occasionally
use it to generate the primary signal like a tin whistle or something. I
add the electric signal for crunch and to build the sound, or when I'm
playing lead. While I control the overall volume from my pedals, the
sound tech has ultimate control over the mix between acoustic and
electric sounds.

What do you think?
