BJFE / BearFoot fx Guitar Effects Community

I loved my louder and more head so much I bought a second one.
I have the version with a effects loop which is nice because you can use it as a boost.

Best sounding low wattage amp I have heard. Personally I use mine with a 2x12 loaded with
scumabck speakers and it sounds great.

Oh and btw I think you got a good deal. Got one of mine for 600 and the other for 750.

I have a couple of smaller amps I currently use including a 1952 Tweed Deluxe, 1966 Vibro Champ, and a 1966 Princeton. I think my little blackface Vibro Champ is only 3-5 watts, so it will be fun to compare the two. Apparently I need to get a good cab with a Red Fang speaker to go with the L&M. I do have a really cool VOX cab from a 1966 AC30 Super Twin that I may use. It is loaded with dual Celestion Silver Bells that I'm sure will sound awesome!

I have been meaning to report back about it. It is an AMAZING amp! I am running it into my VOX AC15TBX which has a Celestion Blue in there. It is a full stack sound at low volume! One of the best purchases I have made. I can't believe you found two of them. I have lucky #21.

Yea they are rare and considering how good they sound, very under priced.
Has a very similar freq response as my CS-40 and despite it's wattage never sounds thin.
Oh and it records just like it sounds which is nice.

That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I was crossing my fingers the L & M would be a sort of "mini CS-40"... killer tone in a smaller box. I just can't get over the thick, warm, overdriven goodness it spits out. It also sounds MUCH bigger than it is. I am thinking about running it with an amp selector in a live setting. I can run my pedalboard into my blackface Princeton or tweed Deluxe then use the L & M on its own. I don't feel like I would even want to change the tone of it with any pedals, so running an A/B configuration in terms of amps may be the way to go for me. It really is everything I love about Bjorn's pedals (the organic feel, the thick dirt, and the creamy tone) all in an amp that won't break my back to transport or make my neighbors' ears bleed when cranked at home.

I wish I could figure out a way to do a tourbox with this amp to let more people try it. Shipping and insurance would be a bit pricey though. I guess we'll have to bring them to the first ever BJFE convention with special guest appearances by BJ and Donner and breakout Folk pedal building sessions.

The Cs-40 obviously has tons more versatility but the L&M produces that great full frequency clean sound and some great distortion/OD tones. The CS-40 has tons of ways to tweak the mid range and high end tone to get lots of different tones. Both amps have a round low end with zero flub. I agree that for a 3 watt amp it sounds huge and the 15 db clean boost using the effects loop is nice on my unit.

For someone who want that bjf tone, this amp is hard to beat. It's basically an amp and fuzz pedal in one grab and go unit.
And given the cost of original bjfe pedals it is a great bargain.
Right now I have my second one down at the shore house but I really should run them stereo at some point!

Not sure if we could do a tourbox but maybe we could do an east coast and west coast bjfe meetup.
I could bring my amps and pedal boards for everyone to try.

Spent some more time playing tonight. With my strat I roll down the volume on my guitar to 6-7 and get a completely full clean tone. As soon as I bring the volume back up, it is a huge wall of thick fuzz. I really don't think there is anyone out the who really gets fuzz quite like BJ. He is truly a genius when it comes to fuzz. It is also incredible to be able to have so much control right from my volume knob. I keep meaning to bring my full board home to run my pedals through the amp, but it just sounds so amazing on its own!

Hi guys, running two L&Ms in stereo config is a cool idea but how about a L&M 412 set up.
Did this on December 7, 2008 just a day before shipping them out. I have very forgiving neighbors

great setup!!!

Wow! I am jealous. Mine is amazing, but it is the non-loop version. I do love its tan color though. Such killer amps! Well done, BJ!!!

I keep a stock of spares for the L&M amps and have a spare loop if you're interested. It's a simple installation.
Also, something that was not included with amps when I first manufactured them: a product info brochure.
