I don't have a Blackbox either. I do have a Matchbox and a DD-3. My question is, would you use a Blackbox with a Matchbox?
Do some of the guy's use both a Matchbox and a Blackbox or not? If you do, how much better is the sound on your steel?
Just curious. |

| To me the difference is sutle. It's not a big huge improvement, but once you've used it a while, you won't want to do without it. In my opinion it would probably replace your matchbox especially if it's the BB with the control knob on it. |

It is sort of like when you get a bad cold and then when you finally get better you realize that you didn't realize how sick you were when you had the cold....
Also sort of like taking a blanket off your tone. You can be fine without one, but you also could be playing a $300 wreck for a steel and sound "fine"....this is an easy way to bump the tone up a notch, in almost a subconscious, but very real, way...
How's that for analogies?

| No contest, just don't let anybody talk you into selling them yours when they hear the difference. |

You won't be sorry, unless mama ain't happy about it.
And you know that saying, 'if mama ain't happy....'
