Great for bass -- brings out the best in your rig. Jun 30, 2010
My current setup:
Music Man 4-string > Demeter OptoComp > SansAmp Bass Driver DI > MXR M288 Octave > BBE Sonic Stomp (or sometimes run the Stomp in amp's effects loop) > Mesa/Boogie Basis M2000 > Ampeg SVT50DL "Isovent" 2x15+2x10 cab.

Already a pretty sweet rig before adding this BBE box, but there was still a certain something missing. There was still some mud in my tone that was still there no matter how clean or how warm I set things up. There had always been the sensation of certain frequencies that just weren't well reproduced. This partially kept me from punching through the rest of a band's sound enough to be heard clearly, unless I turned up so much that I was just generating too much of a rumble overall. And yes, I first experimented a ton with equalization and impedance matching.

The Sonic Stomp provided the finishing touch I was looking for. I no longer get that sensation of certain frequencies fighting with each other and canceling out. Everything is clearly voiced and CUTS THROUGH like it should. My tone is much clearer even in a practice room with drums and two guitars. I don't have to turn up nearly as loud to be heard clearly. If I'm playing warmer, higher gain, even that is much clearer and better articulated. You can hear what I'm doing. My tone is much more available to the PA or mixer without facing the unsavory choice of either EQing it heavily or leaving it turned down lower than desired.

I don't want to be the umpteenth guy to say "it's like removing a heavy blanket from your cabinet"... but that's pretty accurate!

A MUST HAVE FOR GUITAR AND BASS Jun 21, 2010
I purchased the Sonic Stomp based on other reviews, here and elsewhere. It delivers as advertised. I have mostly low to medium grade amps and the Sonic Stomp works wonders on these, giving them a clear more defined sound. It is pretty subtle but when you A/B the effect on/off you can clearly hear the difference. I have a Peavey ValveKing 112 tube amp and a Crate RFX65 solid state amp and the Sonic Stomp works well with both. I have Peavey MAX158 practice bass amp and it makes it sound fantastic. I also have a Roland JC-120 which is a higher end amp compared to the previous amps I listed, and the effect is more subtle but still sounds good. My conclusion with the amps that I have tried it on is, the lower grade the amp the more of a difference you'll hear. The controls are solid and the setup is simple. They recommend putting it at the end of your effects chain or run it threw the effects loop. I have tried it both ways and it works equally well. It comes with a 9 volt battery and an AC adapter. They recommend an adapter but it is quiet either way. I read in some other review that it's like removing a blanket that's covering the speaker. That is the best description of what this box will do for your sound. It is built solid, all metal including the knobs, easy no tool battery access, rubber on the bottom of the chassis, and it's true bypass. I hope this helps somebody.

This pedal is a MUST! in every rig! Jun 12, 2010
this is a MUST HAVE! you need this pedal! it makes my rig sound so much more alive! I play on an ENGL powerball II head with an ESP guitar on active pickups, and for both clean sounds and crunchy deadly distortions it's the best thing I could have ever bought! I get the best out of harmonics, warm low freqs, delicious high freqs, and the overall improvement is very very noticeable! get it! it's worth it!

Only $60 ???? Mar 14, 2010
Ok, seriously, I'm going to buy like as many of these pedals as Amazon has for $60 each. Then I'm going to turn both knobs all the way clockwise and turn the switch on and put it inside a slightly larger metal black box, on which I'm going to stencil 'God-like Tone Sculptor', and in smaller letters, 'warning: tone may melt faces and crush skulls instantaneously'. The box will have no controls of any kind, just an input and an output. Then I'm going to sell these at boutique music stores for $300 each.*

Only $60 to instantly sound this good? I would certainly pay $300 for this box. BBE is crazy to sell it at this low price!! HURRY AND BUY ONE OF THESE AT THIS PRICE BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T BUY IT RIGHT NOW YOU'LL HAVE TO BUY MY 'GOD-LIKE TONE SCULPTOR' FOR $300 TO SOUND THIS GOOD!

*legal told me to say that this is just a joke.

Awesome tool for any guitarist Mar 03, 2010
This pedal essentialy balances out the high, mid, and low frequencies yout instrument produces. I also have the software version of this effect on my DAW. This pedal does a great job of giving your instrument a more balanced and full tone. When I switch it on it allmost sounds like someone took a blanket off my amplifier. I highly recomend this pedal for and and all musicians.
