What's the BJF pedal you will always have on your board?
What's the one you wish you still did?

I sold a DRD- then got a Higher gain less bass response mod version. Result = :D

Still have all my BJF's since then. Any peaks and valleys for you?

I am still pretty much in the honeymoon phase with all my BJF's, but that EGDM at 18 volts pretty much sums it up. Again, I suspect it is because it was designed around a Stratocaster it just works.

I can't see selling any of them (listed below) with the exception of my PGC which is only because I am not a big user of compression, but I got a good deal on it and you can't get any better compression!

+1 on the MGMV. Some real magic in that one.

Sonic, there is a treble trim pot inside the EGDM to match your pedal to the amp. To me it is what makes the EGDM so perfect as I can control the treble and Nature separately.

Very important! I bought my EGDM used, and the way the previous owner had it set sounded like crap with my rig. But, a tweak of the treble trimmer and the magic happened.

Definitely my HBOD Deluxe. What a great, great overdrive.

Yeah they all have thier uses and I figured long ago there was no reason to sell them as I would just end up rebuying them anyway :mrgreen: so I only sell pieces when I have specific monetary needs ...

I do alot of experimenting so I have to pull things off just to have enough room sometimes...

but the HB deluxe is about as permanent a fixture as I have - its the perfect a the end of the drive section and t he boost is useful for all other things before it for me... love the MGMV into SYOD2 or CLiffhanger or Model H or ok any of them :mrgreen:

the MP TOP and DBD with Holy Grail verb and Fromel Lush Deluxe chorus are all the ones to beat on my boards too...

I don't have a deluxe but ditto on the HB. Model H is still revealing alot of surprises- especially with the volume on the guitar rolled back and tweaking the tone knob. I fo0und this post a good insight with the Model H (it was in the library):

I've still to try the TOP and like you Donner have realized that selling them can lead to both regret or repurchase- Hence the whole Peaks and Valleys curiousity.
Cheers. :D
