The BBE adjusts those frequencies in the time continuum BEFORE they hit the speaker to COMPENSATE for what the speaker does. All speakers cause those frequencies to be delayed by DIFFERENT degrees, so the contents of the note don't "hit" your ear, they "splatter" into your ear. the fundamental, the bass, the harmonics, the treble. And from all the guitar reviews I've read, it DOES do the same thing for guitar as it does for a stereo.īasically what it does is makes sure that ALL of the content of a note. Well, if it does ANYTHING like what it did for my stereo, it will be plug it in, turn on the amp, play a lick, turn on the pedal and play a lick, and INSTANT SOLD, and it will never be turned off again.

The Sonic Maximizer is also great for keyboards, with everything from the latest samples to a vintage Rhodes benefiting equally from the patented BBE process.
Bassists will delight in the BBE Sonic Maximizer’s ability to bring much more punch to the bottom end without muddying up the midrange. As Guitar Player magazine said, “BBE is the most cost effective improvement you can add to your rig.” Acoustic guitars processed with the Sonic Maximizer have a breathtakingly natural sparkle and presence. Electric guitars have added “bite”, “chunk” and improved definition. The BBE Sonic Maximizer will deliver surprisingly good results on guitar, bass and keyboard tracks. The BBE Process is so unique that 42 patents have been awarded by the U.S. While there are differences among various speaker designs in the magnitude of their correction, the overall pattern of correction needed is remarkably consistent. With this knowledge, it became possible to identify the characteristics of an ideal speaker and to distill the corrections necessary to return the fundamental and harmonic frequency structures to their correct order. conducted extensive studies of numerous speaker systems over a ten year period. This change in the phase and amplitude relationship on the harmonic and fundamental frequencies is technically called “envelope distortion.” The listener perceives this loss of sound integrity in the reproduced sound as "muddy" and “smeared.”In the extreme, it can become difficult to tell the difference between musical instruments, for example, an oboe and a clarinet.īBE Sound, Inc. In some cases, the fundamental components may be so time-shifted that they reach the listener's ear ahead of some or all of the harmonic components. A lower frequency may reach the listener's ear first or perhaps simultaneously with that of a higher frequency. When these complex relationships pass through a speaker, the proper order is lost.
These relationships define a sound's “sound”. Research shows that the information which the listener translates into the recognizable characteristics of a live performance are intimately tied into complex time and amplitude relationships between the fundamental and harmonic components of a given musical note or sound. However, phase and amplitude integrity is essential to accurate sound reproduction. In the past, these problems proved unsolvable and were thus relegated to a position of secondary importance in audio system design. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion that the sound reproduced by speaker differs significantly from the sound produced by the original source.
Loudspeakers have difficulty working with the electronic signals supplied by an amplifier. The BBE process corrects the phase imbalances of speakers - that ALL speakers have. If it does the same for my guitar, it will NEVER be switched off! Everything was just so much more alive and so much clearer. When I first switched it on, I could not BELIEVE the difference! It was as if I had lifted my entire stereo system out from under a pile of blankets. I have a stereo version of this in my stereo setup. It will live inside my Mustang III amp case, left on ALL the time, a "permanent" part of the amp.
