I have seen and read alot of posts on this site raving about BBE sonic enhancers. I just want to put my two cents in, These things are not meant for live purposes in my opinion. The unit doesn't make your sound "fatter", it makes it thinner. All it does is boosts your highs, and lows, and sucks the mids out. The mid range of a drum is what makes it fat, and gives it punch. I tried one for about an hour on my kit and it cut the actual quality of my sounds in half, it made them sound more electronic. These enhancers are just like the loud/bass button on your home stereo. At low volumes, it makes your music sound awesome, yet when you crank it up, it sounds like crap, sucking the life out of it. But of course also, I have the luxory of using my electronic gear through a concert series jbl pa with nice subs and mains, so I have no need for sound manipulation. I use no eq of any kind, and just a little of the ambience feature on the v-drums, and they sound fantastic. The more eq and effects that you put on your electronic drums, it makes them sound more electronic, especially roland sounds. The samples in Roland aren't all that good, so it's best to keep them as raw as possible to keep that acoustic escence there. I'm not ragging on BBE in particular on this post, just these devices in general. Just thought I'd put my two cents in and give a negative side to these "enhancers" before people go buying these up just because of alot of positive posts, thanks for listening to me vent..lol
