I'm certain that with enough adjustment (more range, more power, more speed than I run) it would have perfect control on B & W.
I did try to run that way when I first began using BBP, but found the sound too "dry" for my tastes.
The ART adds a wetness, that can only be distortion, but to me it makes the radio sound like a hot, muggy summer night in 1966.
I admit it's distortion, but as long as it sounds like the giant AM Rock-n-Roll powerhouses of yesteryear, I'm happy.
No grunge, no gristle or bristle, just sweet and wet with a sharp bite like an old fashioned ice-cold cane sugar Coca-Cola from a glass bottle.
It's been maybe 9 or 10 months now, and it just keeps running with no burps or hiccups.
There is no longer any reason for me to fiddle with anything. Everything sounds good from symphonic music to punk, and everywhere in between.
There's no fatigue, no temptation to tweak. The 150% asymmetric modulation is nothing short of KICK-A**.
I was "happy enough" with the ART for outright level control, but it does nothing for mulitband level control, so when BBP hands a well-balanced
signal to the ART, its job is a LOT easier, and there's no hiding of musical details in the result.
The song I find shows off good or bad control is "I Hear You Knocking" by Dave Edmunds.
The first few notes have enough wide range to flummox any cheap processing, and makes them sound like like a drunk looks when taking a wild swing at someone's jaw and missing completely, and falling over to the floor in a mess, wondering what happened.
BBP sounds outstanding on this cut, I can't say enough good about it. And I'm a "hardware" kinda guy.
