EGDM - A Newfound Love

[BTBAM]

So...it's been almost a year and a half since I first owned the Emerald Green. Now, I'm assuming I just wasn't in to tweaking...figuring...trying out...and working the magic behind BJF pedals. Now...I tried it tonight with my ASAT Bluesboy through my Mesa Lonestar 2x12......AND LOVED IT!


Here are a few settings I fell in love with:

vol 8:30, voice 7, drive 7:20

Vol 8, voice 5, drive 5

Vol 8, voice 1:15, drive 4:30

I found the "boost" setting with a touch more gain to sound really nice, especially since I play the mesa lonestar clean. It makes for a great little breakup.

The one thing I found different on this pedal over my Honeybee/Model H is that it didn't cleanup the same way the other two did. When I had the gain cranked, it was a really driven sound...backed down the volume, and it still kept a pretty thick level. Not a bad thing, it was just different than the others. I have the Honey Bee set up as my "take my twin reverb or lonestar to a breakup capable amp instead of all clean with dynamic playing" sort of drive, but I may actually switch out the EGDM for a little bit and see which I like better.

On a side note...I gigged last night with the HB and H, and they were BREAKTAKING! Perfect...amplike...and I even got compliments from tone heads about how good my tone was! (which I love hearing, knowing I go through 25 stompboxes)

Anyways....that is all.

have you tried stacking them yet ???

EGDM into HB is one of my all time favorite combos ...

back off the distortion a bit and give it a bit more treble and run that into the HB

and try it into the H as well different feel... but if you like one you should like the other...

The EGDM is a LOUD pedal. But not quite as loud as the R....

[Donner]

the EGDM is unique in its controls.... the dist and voice controls loosely mimic what a vox does as you turn it up - so if you start with both those all the way to the left and turn them up a bit and at the same time youll hear it begin to compress more and sing and the EQ changes and then all the way up you get some of the effect of pushing the speakers --- just like the amp its very different at different volumes....

Is it true that this pedal was designed for use with Vox amps in particular? I ask because my main around the house amp is an AC10 (although one can gig with it if needed) and my AC15 is my pride & joy. When reading about it, I always got the impression it was designed to sound vox-like, but reading a recent post about the various available models I read that it was meant to use w/ vox. Is one or both of these comments true?

It started as a custom request from Deano/PinkStrat to use with his Komet --- BJ didnt have a Komet in Sweden so he used a Vox to tune it - it works gloriously with both.

dont forget to mess with the trimpot...i tweaked it for a lil darker tone(i use a jazzmaster)...such a great pedal...
