and it's not even Christmas yet!

first, it's a nice box from FEDEX:



open it, and revel in the PROPER packing and care taken with shipment!!! WELL DONE SIR!



my new MP series LGW!



and some pedals sent to me as "loaners" for a little while....

the SEXY beast of a distortion the model R:



a very rare and quite intriguing Aqua Marine WOnder Machine!



and one that surprised me -- thought it would be BIGGER in size, but i am really glad it is this small.

the Mighty Green Minivibe:




I am in BJF/MP heaven right now........

more reports to come soon!

WOW!!

yeah, I KNOW.......

been DYING to compare the Mod R and the DRD

MGMV also has intrigued me. want to try it WITH the TOP

and the AMWM? just a wild card.......had to try it. the EGDM and i did not bond, twice......so i wanted to try the AMWM.....

AMWM and SBOD are nearly the same circuit, I think? I'd be interested to hear how the gain cranked on the AMWM sounds in comparsion to the DRD in terms of overal gain / compression characteristics. hmmmm.

hmmmmm.....interesting. i have not spoken with BJ about the AMWM. will have to do so.....

I'm at the edge of my seat!I'm also interested in Model R ,AMWM and MGMV.

full reports tomorrow, the kids are gone the wife-to-be is gone, and i will have silence....

which i will fully exploit by making as much noise as possible!

hopefully i can do some vid clips, but since i don't have Newarkwilder Mike running the camera, we'll have to settle for a tripod

can't WAIT to hear your take on the R!

yeah baby !!

that will be a fun group....

and yes the AMWM is an MP SBOD in a BJF CS box

(wow I guess if you didnt know the lingo youd be completely lost by t hat string of acronyms )

Hi

The LGW is the sleeping giant of that bunch, IMO. I really wish that pedal got more press. I think that, because it's the only BJF model never to be gooped, and it's now an MP model, combined with the fact that folks unfamiliar think it's yet-another-Tubescreamer incarnation, it doesn't really get talked about as much as I think it should. It is a fantastic, fantastic pedal ... easily one of the best overdrives I've ever played.

It has enough output to be used as a clean boost, but enough drive on tap to be taken almost into distortion territory. It's a pedal stacker's dream pedal. It can be dialed in to be used with virtually any amplifier gain structure, melting right into the sound. I wrote an extensive review of this pedal back when it first came out ... it's on the forum here somewhere if you do a search.

Anyway ... it's the sleeping giant, I'm telling you. The LGW is indeed little, green, and wonderous. Not to be taken lightly. Really, Bobby D ... you can take your Soldano, run your clean channel clean, your dirty channel at low gain for crunchy rhythm textures, and put the LGW (set higher on output than on drive) on top of that for leads ... and leave the rest of your drive pedals at home. I'm not kidding, you'll see....

Have fun
