with some tweaking he could get around without it but that's just my own opinion as I'm a minimalist
Ironically,I use the BBE because I'm like one notch below a minimalist- a complete slacker. I know I could get more out of my rig without the BBE if I just spent more time tweaking my rig in the mad scientist lab,but with it on it sounds great and I'm honestly too lazy to do any more tweaking than I have to. The rig sounds totally badass as it is.And like David Lee Roth said,"if it aint broke then dont fuck with it".

Now, when I do any recording with either of my preamp/effects processors direct the BBE isnt being used at all. And when I run a direct feed to the FOH via XLR outs there is no BBE on that either. So,basically its just my live rigs sound where its being used and where its needed the most. After reading what BBE says the unit does- then that is the only place where I need it anyways. Most studio producers and engineers scoff when they see them also. They just arent needed in your rig when trying to get a tone to record with. Maybe its used later, no idea....
