BBE-362 Sonic Maximizer
The BBE 362 Sonic Maximizer offers two channels of BBE?s patented sound enhancement technology. It will brighten, clarify, and add depth and punch to your sound.
It works by preventing the frequency robbing phase cancellation effect typical in traditional sound reinforcement technology by adding a delay of 2.5 milliseconds to the bass frequencies, 0.5 ms to the midrange, and also passing the high frequencies through a Voltage Control Amplifier (VCA), providing continuous dynamic amplitude corrections, ensuring proper high frequency content in the final audio signal and ensuring that the frequency content of the sound coming off your speakers hits your ear at the proper time, eliminating ?muddiness? and ?smearing?.
The unit features a process control, offering up to 10db of phase compensated high frequency boost and a low contour knob offering up to 10db of phase compensated boost at the 50 hz frequency range. There is also an on/off switch, a bypass switch for comparing your effected sound to the bypassed sound, and an LED/clipping indicator.
I use the 362 in the effects loop of my Vox AD-20 VTX. It works great to give solid state and digital modeling amplifiers a dynamic range on par with that of all-tube amps. With my VTX switched to the Modern High Gain, Recto, or US High Gain amp models, the BBE creates a huge, tight modern Metal sound. When used with the Plexi and Vox models, the BBE creates a bright, punchy classic crunch sound. When used with the Blackface 2X12 model, it creates a sparkly, present sound with a full and satisfying low end.
Any of the available BBE Sonic Maximizer models are a highly recommended and cost effective method to improve your sound.

A Must Have
I run straight through a JCM900...love the tone but i needed something to clarify things, a little boost that wouldn't change my tone. A friend suggested i try the BBE sonic maximizer, i did and was blown away. I immediately went to GC and picked one up and haven't put it down since. You can read the manual to find out exactly why it does what it does, but i'll just tell you that it clears everything up, gives you a boost in all the right places, and tightens up your sound WAY more than any $100 piece of equipment should! The best part is, you can use this for anything...guitar, bass, live sound, recording, mixing....it just makes things better.

Great for a bass rig!
My bass player purchased this item for his home studio in order to generate better bass tracks. The unit worked perfectly by adding a tighter more pronounced bass tone. He liked the unit so much that he purchased one for his live rig and let me test it for my studio. After testing I had to agree it did a excellent job for the low price. I liked it so much that I had to order for my studio.

One of the best effects out there
This is an awsome piece of equipment. I through this on my DJ rig, which I also use for live concerts, and it made a world of difference. With recorded music, with this, it goes from sounding like a recording to sounding like it was being performed live right there. Worth every penny in my opinion.

What I was missing
I never knew what I was missing until I added the 362 to my setup. It zapped the mud from my mixes with the simple adjustment of 2 little knobs. I know there's a lot more going on under the hood but, all I need to do is dial in those 2 knobs to get great sound.
