This was up for auction last year:

From TGP:

No affiliation...this is a two channel Baby Blue Overdrive where you can select between the two, not run one into the other. Can say for exact sure, but I think this is the only one made like this.
I think this will easily break the $1k mark..maybe $1200-$1500...we'll see.

While it is an incredible BJFE rarity to be sure, I can't deny that I would find it to be a lot more compelling if one side could drive the other. As it is, it only is a cool BBOD that offers a little more user friendly on the fly option. It will be interesting to see how high it will go, though...

That thing Looks Sick!!! Yeah I agree with zornhorn here. If they can't drive each other its just a little more useful on stage.

I completely disagree with you both...BBOD has plenty of gain on tap as it is--that in addition to the high end gets more pronounced at those settings, so I think it far better to set one for rhythm, one for lead, separate levels, separate eq's..way more flexible that way...b-sides, you can boost it going in or out with a BPB with stellar results.
I've had a few and nothing particularly compelling about driving one into the other...in fact I don't think it sounds that great at all. :thumbdown:

Well, having never heard a BBOD before, I'm not in a position to dispute your more experienced perspective and, perhaps, two wouldn't sound all that good stacked together. I guess in was just thinking along the lines of Cliff's magnificent WODOD, ya know?

I am real tempted to try and win this thing if it doesn't go to high. Been looking for a BBOD for a while. :think:

Your sig, Mike, raises another interesting point regarding this pedal - are the BBODs in there pre or post S#220? :think: That might make a difference to many who may be considering bidding on this rarity.

I contacted the seller last night and asked him if he new if the pedal had all the updates of post serial number#220. I am still waiting for a response. Having never played a BBOD though I am kind of skeptical about bidding on it. If it doesn't bond with my rig then I would be in double trouble :crazy:

Thats a good Question for Bjorn! I don't think the seller would even know that... Or maybe he would ?
