A few years ago I purchased a BBE Sonic Stomp (same as a Maximizer) when I first got my Recto and used it in front of the amp, and while there was a small improvement (from what I remember), the difference was not anything to call home about. So I got rid of it.
Maybe this has something to do with running minimal effects and using Duncan active pickups? I also ran it in the loop for a brief time and though the Maximizer took something away from the richness of the sound.
My question is this: Who runs one in their rig and how? I have looked at lots of pro setups and alot of guys don't actually seem to be running a Maximizer at all.
I understand what they do, and have used one in the studio, but am just wondering am I crazy for not using one in a band setting?
