I did just that and could not believe the difference. It sounded like some one put cotton in my ears.

I'm not clear on this, so I'll ask: why use the BBE processing just for the snare and bass drum/ Why not run the TD8 (or mixer) l/r outputs through the BBE directly, to use the processing on all of the instruments? Just curious...

szvook,
Maybe you could help me out. I have at TD-ex 8 outputs into a sub mixer, from the sub mixer (2 channels) into a crossover. From the crossover I have a right, left, and subwoofer outs, going into 2 power amps. 1 amp for the highs and mids, and 1 amp for the sub. Where would I put the sonic maximizer? Thank you in advance.

Thanks szvook for the great info.

I will let you know how it works out.

Small side note on the original topic: My in-dash CD receiver (JVC) has BBE processing built in. Turning it on is like night and day in terms of the CD and radio sound quality! When it's off, the sound is very flat and also not very loud. (Even though I have decent speakers and it's a 25 w/ch receiver.) Hit the blue button and the music just punches through!

I play my Customs through a G2 (might get a 2nd someday) for jams and small parties, and it works fine for me. I'm not too keen on getting a bunch of extra outboard stuff. (I'm also not a pro by any means!! $^) However, based on comments here and on my own car receiver, I think I might just pick up the BBE 482. And if I get a 2nd G2, I can put the TD8 L and R outputs through the BBE's 2 channels and into the 2 amps. For $200, why not?

Go for it!!! It will give your over all mix from the TD-8 a jolt! Once you try the BBE (or any sonic maximizer) you won't go back to the TD's just by them self's - EVER!

OK, I've been motivated by szvook to get a BBE. Picked up a used BBE 462 off of EBay yesterday for $115 delivered. I will post later as to the 'improvement' through my JBL EON 15Pak, and my churches main PA system.

Actually I want to thank everyone on here for their posts, I've learned so much here the past few months.
