Back to the topic of which has more and not how much everyone loves the smallbox" I still have the OD pedal i was hitting the front of the smallbox with, i have tried it in front of the BE100 Be channel as i did the be channel of the smallbox.Dont use it as, i prefer the feel and grit and gain from the HBE vs a pedal,its all about player preference.I have never understood the debate,hard pressed to even make sense of it.I guess if i were using to record and play back and adjust the amp accordingly maybe i would better understand.For me plug in and what i hear and feel is usually why i am considering buying,The smallbox I liked and as people post many times over,it is a beautiful piece of work.For the money i wish it had worked with the od pedal for me as well,but as your thread asked which has more gain.The BE100, if the smallbox had a fat circuit and a c45 and a sat and a voice switch then maybe so,personally i think these are options that add to the more chewy darker sounding BE100.I am glad i own it.The plexi channel on the Smallbox is definitly something that stands on its own,but that's not about gain,and it is nice!!! Save yourself some time and get the be100 if you want more gain,or if your lucky enough to be able to play both in a good setting,guitar,and verb/delay you can shorten the search.GLWTS
I got some nice compliments and no complaints about the volume. Easily my favorite amp ever.
