I found the RRB is the perfect booster for Tele bridge and P90 pickups - has a very similar EQ curve - a correct 'more' stomp for a b ridge pup ............. I would love to hard wire a Little Red Trebler to a neckbucker and an RRB to a tele bridge and ~~~~~~~ 8)

I have owned and played the BJF, D*A*M, Analogman and a Cornish TB-83 duplex. They have their unique qualities, for sure and different tones can be dialed in with each pedal. For me, the Duplex from Cornish is a great pedal. Like other mentioned, it has a nice mid-range punch and it sounds best at stage or practice volumes. I like to keep one on all the time and adjust the other for a slight boost and give the amp that final push over the edge. I would really like to try a Little Red Trebler from Bjorn but I guess that is going to be a long wait, like most good things in this world.

I hesitate to say one is better than the other, just a different flavour. For me, I have found I like to run two treble boosters, one right after the other, much like the Cornish set up. I never would have thought of doing that until I played the Duplex but very nice tones can be dialed in with this simple combination.

I like stacking my covington fireplace into a fuzz set with the gain set super low & the tone set pretty dark, In this setup I can cop all the brian may tones you can imagine :twisted: & even pull off some billy gibbons tones too. I got the idea from this demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pere_UBNI10

Does the RRB get thin/bright like most treble boosters do when you turn your guitar volume down? I have actually swapped out my D*A*M Red Rooster for the SBEQ as I can drive my pedals or amp like the RR, but I can also use it as an EQ boost to act like I am using humbuckers in front of my pedals. The SBEQ doesn't get thin/bright as I turn down for rhythm.
