I picked up both these pedals today as I'm shying away from the Boss GT8.
The BBE Green Crusher allowed me to get some classic rock tones out of my clean channel. very cool. The pedal is very lets say organic. Very natural sounding. I'm very Impressed with it's ability not to change my amp or guitar tone. When I turn it on, it like just adds to whats already there. I felt so good about that as I'm stain'd with the GT 8 altering my tone every way but Sunday.Maybe even that 2. Anyway I also tried it in front of my drive channel. I was able to add a bit of crunch to the monster of crunch I already got. But whats cool about is I can alter my tone with a stomp. Turn it on and get this ans turn it off and get my orignal tone right back. I also set it up so it doesn't boost. The DB level is exaclty the same on or off. Boosting is cool if you want it to do that and it will very well but I was just looking for different.
The Boss DD-20 Gigadelay is flat out awesome. It has 4 settings I can save/program in delay settings and recall them. I love it. The sound also didn't seem to effect my tone. It lives in my effects loop with a Boss Chorus and a BBE sonic Maximizer. I listened to it with out it and with it. If it is changing the tone, it's so slight that I can't really tell by switching it in and out. It's so little and un noticeable. Nothing like the damn GT 8. This DD-20 is perfect for what I do. I add delay in when I need it and remove it when I don't. Simple and true. No volume increase or decrease when on or off. Another cool thing.
Whats cool about owning the Boss GT 8 is I didn't have to read the owners manual to learn how to program it. The DD-20 is laid out almost exaclty like the GT 8 in terms of set up it took me about 20 seconds to set up 2 different delay settings. Awesome. Just what the Doctor ordered.
I'm slowly getting back to having pedals again which is what I wanted to get away from. Unless you buy a killer rack mount effects, I don't see a floor processor being what I want. I guess I can be cool with that.
