Wow what a big sound the air from my monitors nearly blew me over
That is some "Dirty overdrive" Well Done!

[Rolow]

You've done this before!  Nice work, rocking out on the guitar wise.  A big sound and a tight beat.  You are a craftsman.

[Bob Iles]

Thanks guys.  The BSIAB2 is a pedal designed to emulate the early Van Halen "brown sound."  It certainly gets into that territory, especially through a real tube amp, but the BR-600's amp sim gets close.  It's just a little fizzier than through a real amp, but nothing that's not workable.  That's where the super "dirty overdrive" comes from.  A very versatile pedal, too, as it goes from slight overdrive to high gain overdrive and all stops in between.

This BR-600 is by far the best piece of recording equipment I've had the experience of using.  Most of my experience is on a Yamaha 4-track, so I'm very good at planning things out, trackwise.  The added benefit of multiple bounces with no signal loss helps me bring the songs to life much more than in the past.

I'm really humbled that you guys are digging my stuff.

Hot !!! Nice riffing !!! And cool solo!

[Bluesberry]

Damn Bob, every one of yours I find I haven't heard before.  I am really digging that lead tone, thick brown tar.  Great stuff Bob.

[Bob Iles]

Thanks again.

[Dmann]

Nice groove, and your DIY pedals sound amazing.

[Bob Iles]

Thanks Dmann...the pedals are really fun to build and tweak to optimize within my rig. You'd be amazed how much you can change the sound and nature of a stomp box just by changing a few component values.
