Brown Sound In a Box II and BSIAB (contour) Comparison

[Crazytjeuh]

for the 3 extra dollars i think i'll get the contour version!

@Crazytjeuh: Might as well...

Just built mine. MANNNNNN! Thats a beast! I don't even play tunes that heavy, but I know what sounds good. Best distortion I have ever played. My Fender Twin is now not really far off from a JCM800. I just might start playing heavier tunes as an excuse to use this. I would love a version of this that has less drive(more of a 70s Marshall sound). The way I see it, if your going to be playing big distorted guitar you need to either get a JCM800 (not that JCM2000 crap!) or get this pedal.

@crosswayokc: I love 'em!

it sounds good, but my ears don't hear the "bround sound"

[Guitarbque]

Is that a tail end of a doobie on the side of the BSIAB 3 ??

LOL- Great Vid- 3 wins!!!

[StompTone]

@Guitarbque Funny...but no. Thanks for tuning in. The contour version does offer more tonal possibilities for sure.

[JonDeth]

It's clearly a great sounding pedal but I've never understood the claimed mystery or superiority to the "brown sound". It's just a dark groany high gain...

[StompTone]

@JonDeth: It's mostly because Eddie made it so popular, I suppose.

[100roberthenry]

is this the bsiab2 with the contour mod...replacing R7 with a 5.6k and a 100k pot?

[StompTone]

@100roberthenry Yes and yes.

Thanks Stomptone!

[StompTone]

@lamborn55 You're welcome...

Where do you get the BSIABIII? I don't see it on the website; only the II.

[StompTone]

@lamborn55 When clicking on the info for the BSIAB II on the GGG site, look down and you'll see info on it. You'll also see options in the drop-down menu for the contour. It's not officially called the BSIAB III. I just called it that because it made sense as a third version. It's simply referred to as the "contour".
