New toy arrived today....
I am no expert when it comes to pedals by a long shot but as the videos and reviews say, yes these feel and look excellent. Glad I opted for these now instead of the Simagic P1000.

At least it can fit, mmmmm.
Needs to be tested for sure. Although the large plates and steel tubing those plates are attached to with the test rig I have used has much more mass than these pedals. So I don't think this may be that bad?
I will consider one on each side, though they will not be wired/ran in series. I want full independent control of each unit/channel. So will apply a reversed phase to avoid any potential bass cancelation. As a configuration it will bring plenty of things to play around with. Like, is their worthwhile potential with doubling effects or when more types of effects are active at once. Does it feel better when applied over two units instead of one, for improved performance?
This is tidier and worth perhaps trying too....
Still an excellent performing unit and one or two of these exciters, combined with an HPR (adapters available) would be something for owners of these pedals to perhaps consider?
My Own Build
I have so many options in tactile hardware I could use.
If the BDS operate well enough when directly mounted to pedals, they could replace in some way the much more expensive TST options.
With direct mounting, effects utilising higher frequencies. That have lower Q should be more realised for wheel-slip, kerbs, and engine sensations with the BDS model than possible with popular budget tactile options some use.
My intention might be to try and invert these, (2 Pedals) but not yet decided.
Actually can't say that I have even seen these inverted yet. I would want to place the Mini Quake (Q1B) at the back of the pedal arms for each pedal. As mentioned this then gives me much more creative freedom in how I make effects operate for the pedals. Also how it would potentially improve things with my own approach of wanting more felt distinction and individual character with different types of effects.
One difference, I would then also install dual full sized Quake (Q10B) and to then combine those with another pair of BDS units for heel/foot plates.
Per Pedal & Foot Plate Example?
It may seem crazy and well yes to some extents it is...
However (for me) this is about being able to cover the lowest/highest bass frequencies we can apply at the highest performance levels.
Keep in mind my own approach, even in the heel/foot plate I do not want to rely on a single units operational performance to be a restriction like seen with most other builds. My own effects will be made to take full advantage of whatever hardware configuration I find works best for my own usage and preferences.
I still have several large BK and TST units that could be used instead or as well.
I do have some plans to use the BK for specific roles one idea is in a way Ive not seen done before. It all will be, a rather interesting/different approach to experiment with pedals...
