Compact, lightweight delay pedal

Great stuff! Love the compact size and intuitive design. Foot switch is silent. Tap tempo works well. Got it to replace a DD-20 for a smaller footprint.

Lush sounding analogue chorus. Pairs well with bass guitar

I own Mindblender v2 which is essentially a change of housing. Prefer the slick metallic blue chassis (I purchased this via Amazon in 2017). It's a pity that BBE did not make any functional improvements. Would prefer if there is a blend knob as this pedal sounds rather lush. It works if you are going for an analogue sound. It paired nicely with my bass guitar as I do not lose my bottom end. Gives a nice vintage vibe. I do not like the vibrato mode as there's some modulation. I prefer TC electronic's mini shaker pedal for a clean natural vibrato sound for my bass.

I didn't like the mix when i paired with my acoustic guitar and strat. Rather overwhelming and loss in clarity when strumming. Good that it is powered by standard 9V. But the unit is rather bulky and heavy. I'm still keeping this unit because at this price point, it's a good sounding vintage chorus for bass.

Excellent practice amp! Battery lasts for months

I started with the Fly3 which sounded great. Decided to add the passive extension cab since it's inexpensive. It's compact, lightweight and offers good tone/volume. I usually use the clean setting for technique practice. The extension cab adds more depth. I could play with this pair 10 o'clock vol and 9 o'clock gain without my house mates realising that I'm practising. Delay effect sounds good too.

The only issue is that it's not a good reference monitor when used with a bunch of pedals.

Good for practice and home use. Some scratchy pots/buttons after 18months.

It's a decent closed back bass amp for home and small practice venues. You can position it upright (as seen) or like a wedge monitor. It's rather loud. I've been using this for home practice at 10-20% volume. It's not transparent as there is some mids colouration.

I've got a active jazz bass and passive P bass. Find that the Ampeg pairs much better with my passive bass for a warm tone. My active bass sounds rather harsh. This amp comes with a scrambler option (overdrive) which sounds quite organic.

Some neat features for home practice: Aux in with adjustable volume (although sound signature is muddy), Earphones out is quite transparent, Input pad -15dB is useful for night practices
