Hey, that's helpful mate yeah, I appreciate that pedals would lose value (the sonic boom clean boost wasn't cheap either).
When you say build one from the ground do you mean rehouse my pedals, or build a bassdrive clone with a boost in it?
I was considering using the bass rc as an always on pedal and I'm sure that would work, only may be a bit extravigant to have always on?? I dunno.
The other thing that I was thinking of going for was an xotic x blender, and blending the bass driver into my clean tone (allowing me to put on both pedals simultaneously and also blend the wet and dry signals).
Thanks for your help mate!
