I own it. I’ve used this model on electric and acoustic guitars, and on vocals. Taking all the tech-speak out of it, the only way to really describe what this does is to say that it adds “sparkle” to the sound. This doesn’t replace proper EQ – you still need to roll off some mids and take the boom out of the low end on an acoustic, for example – but it does help instruments and vocals cut through. It restores clarity to vocals and helps guitars “ring” with good harmonics without adding any other off-flavors (like chorusing or flanging). I currently use this in an effects loop on a Mackie mixing board to add depth and sparkle to the main mix in live settings (five-piece rock band, instruments miced or line in). I also use it for live solo acoustic work on both the guitar and vocals, and in recordings (direct in and mixdown). It is the best $100 you’ll ever drop on a piece of musical equipment.
Anyone have a copy of Traffic Maximizer Pro. I tried to buy it from the website but there is a problem there.?
When I went to pay for it at http://www.traffic-maximizer-pro.com/, it said there was a parameter error. I just need a copy of it. If anyone knows where I can get it, please let me know.

The BBE 882i, is simply amazing. It has done more for my setup than anything else I have purchased thus far. I use it with both a Korg Triton Studio 88 key keyboard and a Nuemann tlm 103. The BBE 882i is the second thing in my signal chain (right after my preamp) and the effect on my sound is no less than profound. When used with a Korg Triton Studio keyboard the clarity produced is absolutely stunning( not to say it was bad before, when I bought it new about 4 years back,it was $6,000 us and to this day is still one of the best keyboards on the market) but the BBE 882i makes it sound so much better. When the used with the Neumann 103, once again the clarity produced is amazing (I like the sound it produces better than a u87). I have also used it with much cheaper mics such as the Studio Projects C1 and an Audio Technica 2020 with great results. I would suggest this to anyone who owns a recording studio or has a home studio. One word of advice I would suggest setting all the levels on the 882i to level 6 ( this seems to give the best results with large diaphragm condenser microphones and keyboards).

Works ok – need to try it with the full PA setting – right now can only use part of it due to my mono head not having an easy way to get between the mixer and amp.
