the best use for this pedal is when you're playing live with pedals through the clean channel of a decent but relatively unfamiliar amp. if you play metal, it lets you cut through the mix in a very effortless way. it works best after your dirt pedals and lets you locate that space away from the shrill of the high hats just around the vocals and since it sweeps frequencies in a bunch with a knob, you get to do this much quicker and with actually more precision than fiddling around with each slider of an EQ.
I'll admit that I bought this pedal years ago just for the color it is. Very rare and looks great with my 100% Boss board. I have some pretty old ones all the way up to the modern day Metal Core. Ive found the best use for this pedal right after my Waza Metal Zone. It dulls the ice pickiness without changing the tone like MT-2w knobs would do.
Great demo. I bought one in '93. Most misunderstood pedal. People love to regurgitate how "useless" the pedal is even though they have zero experience with it.
i use this in effects loop of every guitar amp i own. pantera, slayer, 80s, metallica, cannibal corpse, u name it, it does it. without changing the amp settings. it does the intro to cowboys from hell VERY WELL by sweeping the frequency knob, mix to left.
Not a dumb idea at all. In fact, this pedal was so popular with bass players back in the day that they discontinued this model as well as the LM-2 Limiter and subsequently integrated both into the LMB-2 "Bass Limiter Enhancer".
As I've seen from reviews, it's an expander with a tone knob, the opposite of a compressor. That's why it works great after od/dist pedals, which actually compress the signal on frequencies you perhaps don't want to compress.

Has anyone ever used this with a bass, or is that just a dumb idea??? TIA, Sparks in Daytona

Yes. Too Acoustic...
Maybe it is kind of speaker simulator, I think this is one of those pedals that would make a horrible amp sound good.
Is it me or this really sounds like a compressor with a tone knob?
