| My personal opinion is steer clear of it. BBE sells well due to the psycho-acoustic effect. You hear the original tone, pop on the BBE, then when you turn it off things sound flatter. It's all false perception. The human ear tends to commonly prefer the brighter of two sounds when A/B'd. It's just cause after hearing something bright going back to the original appears duller. As others have mentioned already in this thread, it sounds great at first but then grows old really quick.
Now, others claim it's wonderful and I'm not saying they're not correct. Maybe for their setups the BBE filled a missing gap in the sound or whatnot. It's just my personal experience they most sound like hyped up treble EQ's. Just my 2 cents.
