Diamond BCP/EQ arrived yesterday
Have only run it at 9v with flatwound strung basses but first impressions are good.
The power requirements and smaller size are definitely upgrades on the old BCP-1. Does it sound better?
Not sure yet
I really like this pedal. If you get a chance to try one then give it a go
With an Optical Compressor in front or a VCA Compressor behind it can cover a lot of ground on different types of Basses
I don’t believe it is “dark” but I definitely want low gain not fuzzy or fuzzy
I’ve got the Beta Germanium the Beta V is considerably better for me
Flats or Rounds
Active or Passive
Fingers, Thumb Plectrum
all useable.
probably my favourite Is flats , precision with light drive
The pedal was similar to Boss OC-2. I really liked it however it was uncontrollable with how it picked up extraneous noise and was returned. The supplier refunded me as they said it was irreparable and their other ones did the same thing. A pity as when it worked it was cool.
It was Close enough at medium to low settings to the onboard sub on the old Klystrom heads. Nice feature when used subtly on a fantastic amplifier
I had one for 15 or so years, sold it last month
22 fret
scratch plate is different shape
Alder body, heavy, but least neck dive of any Fender I’ve played
Most gad the TBC circuit
Fender have certainly made considerably worse instruments
