Personally I find the amps underrated, and the pedals overrated =D Tried quite a few of the Black Label range, some of em were really disappointing. Especially the Octabass. The tracking was just too glitchy. While testing in the shop, it couldn't even track below B on the A string. The 3 modes didn't give that much tonal flexibility either. Does a good "natural" sounding octave, but can't do aggressive synthy sounds at all.
I still have my BassIQ though, however, its not a keeper, I'll eventually replace it. Sounds pretty ok, but there's only so much u can tailor the sound with 2 controls. That's the beauty but also the sore point for some about the EBS pedals. Controls are too simple.
That said, I still want to get a Microbass. So at least I can have my EBS preamp sound on the go.
