At the moment..

See if this works... woohoo I did it.

This board is the same as the list below, but I do have a SHOD coming tomorrow, so it could all change in a blink Typically I use the Fuzz Faces for my Victoria and my Tone Benders for my Swart and DR Z, but typically only one fuzz is used at a time. Someday a CAF will join the fuzz club.

There it is! Nice one. Ive been wanting to see yours after reading about your setup in other threads. Good stuff! (That model H... calling me... been on the list since Feb...)

Thanks, wish the picture was a little bigger, but I feel pretty proud I actually got it to post at all. It is such a PITA at the Gear Page.

Totally excessive I know, but some Gibsons I picked up for very cheap in the early '80's put a lot of money in my guitar fund over the years. My wife is very (ok, VERY VERY) nice and lets me keep my toy fund going towards more toys and since becoming a Dad 5.5 years ago I usually get something nice for Father's Day (I guess the 14 hour days 365/year have some reward). She also worked with Steve at Wildwood to get the Jazzmaster for our 20th last July. As it turns out the neck date is our 19th Anniversary!

I took a few weeks off of playing through the board with my Strats as I was Surfin with the Jazzmaster using only the SBEQ for lead boost and a fuzz. Lots of fun, but the 12s can be rough after a while, so I started cheating and am using a .20 plain for the G. I came back last week with a new appreciation for my BJFe's as I picked up a non-BJFe OD and it plain sucked, and after selling a few things I spreed on a LGW (and have a SHOD due here tomorrow (both used)) I just love the challenge and reward of figuring out Bjorn's pedals.

The Model H is killer and it loves to boost other pedals, but for how dynamic it is it prefers to see just the guitar or a SBEQ in front. I have been waiting on a CAF for about a month and have a PGC to sell/trade for one, but really need to finish a couple of songs along the way. I had a huge creative output about ten years ago and I am trying to get back in the groove, but sleep deprivation and feeling like a "shut in" with the kids can be a bit stifling.

If you haven't yet, try the LGW into the H, I love that stack lately.

Thanks, I did, but that was before I figured out the LGW. I need to try again. What settings do you use on the LGW? The MH likes to be boosted by my SBEQ and D*A*M Red Rooster, but I prefer the SBEQ where it is now at the end, and I have a love/hate thing with the Rooster.

I have the SHOD coming today, so I need to figure out if that pedal is for me. I felt it was too bright last time, but I am more savvy as to Bjorn's designs, and pedals in general, than I was last November. I am mostly looking for a second small blues jam board as I really need something other than dirt on my board pictured above, but I feel I have all the bases covered. Still I am open to suggestion for a single sized pedal that fills a sonic hole in the current board/set up. I used to have the fuzz on the board as it sounded great with the Octron going into fuzz, but fuzz also sounds great into the MDV-2 (Vibe).

So now I need to decide if I prefer the SHOD to the Rooster for a small battery powered board.

I run it at 9v, volume a hair above unity, body around 10 o'clock, and the drive at about noon. Gives just a bit more sizzle to my h, which is fairly dark. Enjoy!

Great, I 'll give that a try. It is actually about the settings I ened up with tonight just playing it as an OD.

I got a SHOD today and it sounds great though I am still trying to figure out how to get it to work with the LGW how I want it to work. (i.e. getting both to sound good as ODs, and still sound good stacked) I am beginning to think the LGW is the most versatile of the ODs I have tried. (haven't tried the SBOD yet)
