So a while ago I gave my GAB Bion Boost as a prize in one of our BOTRs.

Somehow it ended ata GC in CA and itchyfingers bought it.

Last week we were talking about that pedal here and itchy asked if I wanted it back.

And here it is:





I am so happy to have this pedal again!! It's obviously a really special pedal to me. I was okay with giving it to another member but I always missed it. And now it's here again


Thanks itchy!!! I really appreciate this man. This made my day, my week my month and my year. I can't even explain how happy I am to have this pedal again!

Super cool! Wonders of the universe


I love my plx fz-2 clone

Yah I missed out on those and wish I had one

The only Treble Booster I own and it’s great! This thing sounded great with the Vox I had and into my Metroplex. I should run it into the Rockerverb.

That's awesome. And Itchy is seriously good people.

Congrats!!!
The boomerang boost!!!

It an really useful pedal. It can push so many other pedals into orbit.

I don’t know what it is about this pedal, maybe it’s treble boosters in particular, but it pushes amps to sound like they’re on the verge of nuclear meltdown in the best way.

Right on man, glad it made it home safely!

You never know what you're gonna find in the GC Used Pedals display, but I knew what this was from about 10 ft away. The kid at the counter started sweating when I asked him not to take the price tag off, they clearly didn't know what they were sitting on.

Wow, Itchy!
what are the odds?
Enjoy, Billy!

P90 LP Jr > Bion Boost > EQD Acapulco Gold > Sunn Solarus = Heaven on Earth

Not only the GAB thing is awesome but man this is such a great sounding pedal!!! I tried it in front of my plexi yesterday and it sounds amazing!!!

I haven't found an amp it doesn't like, but man I bet it pushes a plexi into tonal nirvana.

Is PLX Paul still building (non-hommie edition) Bions?

Oh yeah. Paul’s still making Non-Hommie Bions. His site is still up too. I might have to try his bass FUM pedal so I can get a Muff with a dry blend.

That is cool!

How about an updated "GGF" version of that pedal?

Sweet. The regular FUM is pretty badass in its own right.

I did the same thing awhile back; did a contest with that as the prize and the only one that entered was Bubba.

Hit him up about a year later and asked to buy it back and he just sent it, no payment no questions asked.

And yeah it’s a great pedal, destroys in front of my Herb and Orange, kills in front of every other amp I’ve put it in front of. Paul does great work, I have a few of his pedals and they’re all stellar.

I think you should donate it as a prize for this year’s BOTR and see if it makes it back to you again.

No

Such a great pedal. Glad to hear it made it back home
