I've heard clips of course, and I know the circuits differ, but how would you compare the two? (Double Beat/BeeBaa). Is the Double Beat more in the Bender territory?

Yea, double beat is kinda like a harsh distortion fuzz with options. Kinda like a tone bender I guess, but more harsh. It's way more like something rosac or something would put in a wah, but louder. One of the three stood out to me. I stuck with that one (don't remember the little wave picture though). It's kinda like a fuzzrite with more volume and less octave up overtone. It's been a few years though. The wah was ok. Better than some inductor-less wahs the setup is based on.

Beebaa is best described like you did. I like the treble booster too, except the volume difference is incredible haha. It's way more eq'd and more kinda polished than double beat...which, I guess, to use a subjective term, is raw.

The thing that is most similar between them is the percieved volume differences between fuzz settings even though they are totally different animals.

I have to wait 3 weeks, and I don't know if I can trust when somebody says he's keeping it for me until then but I'm supposed to get a Peavey 412S 4x12. The guy says it's for guitar but the center of the speakers are chrome and it seems to be more something you see on bass cab (according to my brief google research but I might be wrong). Either way I hope I get it ! :D Would be cool under or next to my Sound City 4x10

Looks exactly like those on the left (under the VTA-400) but without the logo (guy probably lost it or removed it because he didn't like how it looks idk).

I have a 412-G and use it on bass all the time. The old KVLT stuff seems to work pretty well for anything, as far as I'm concerned. These old cabs are easily overlooked due to their weight and size, IMO.

Aluminum dust caps were to dissipate heat that would roast voice coils on high power speakers driven hard. Old JBLs and Altecs did that. The JBLs at least would have very extended high end as a result, at least up to 10 kHz. If you rely on speaker roll off to smooth fuzz, might be rough. Or you might like the extra sizzle.

I kinda just wanted to play this song over and over

The colour is way less bright in RL and it immediately feels comfortable out of the box just need to get used to palm muting on this, i'm honestly shocked that 8 strings doesn't feel that weird - but i'm been playing a 27" 7 string for a while... so. :lol:

Just need to restringed because stock setups always comes with half a wind around the tuning peg and fuck that

Incoming: EHX Synth9 (Finally, stoked!!)

Outgoing: lots lately, but most recently a broken Rocktek Chorus and a Digitech Dirty Robot. I liked the Digitech a lot but after a few different synth pedals I realized that I don't just wanna go 'Bwow' super loud but actually wanna sound like a Moog. I've never done well with envelopes controlled by dynamics or skill :)
