so addictive

[williamh]

After remembering how much I enjoy BJFE pedals, i'm currently debating selling a bunch of my ones I have laying around to pick up a Pine Green Compressor if I can track one down. Also still have either a honey bee or model h in the back of my mind as well, but those will be a little later on I think. Ugh. This is too expensive of an addiction lol. Just rambling, but my emerald green has inspired me quite a bit and I'm really looking forward to picking up more.

Skip the compressor and go for the HBOD. EGDM > HBOD is amazing!

haha, thing is, I'd probably get more use of the compressor no matter how good the hbod sounds. In the current band I basically have two tones for what we're doing; clean with compressor, and the emerald green distortion machine). I even have a looper on the way that basically just always keeps one of those in the chain and swaps back and forth with which one is on.

I'm sure I'll have a honey bee at some point, but currently the compressor is just something I'd get a lot more use out of.

Having not tried the PGC (disclaimer)

I have found the Mad Professor Forest Green Compressor to be the best comp I've tried to date. It's pretty much killed any "GAS" I've had for other compressors. I'd also consider this one as well. Check out the demos.

I've owned the forest green comp before and thought it was great, but a demo bobby d did of the pine green has me really interested in it. It sounds amazing from what i've heard. I'd love to hear his input on the pine green vs the forest green(i'd assume he's probably tried the forest green).

Totally agree. Those are the only two BJFE pedals that i have and so far have been replacing most od's that i have tried. The tonal variety with those two pedals is immense. EGDM>HBOD is great. I love how the HBOD fattens it up. So far I have tried them with single coils and humbuckers with great success.

Glad you're enjoying the addiction,
it's replacing it that becomes near impossible.
As most have rightly suggested, it's horses for courses
(and you'll probably find a place for both eventually).

Donner suggested to me early on in my
"habilitation" program,
the PGC/ SBEQ- was "THE" best clean tone available.

Bobby D swears by the PGC as an always on sweetener
and many would agree(B sick is a big fan!)
The PGC is a real nuance thing-
nature knob is the key.
If you're used to a Dyna-Comp/ Ross style compressor-
it can change your perspective on compressors
as it sweeten's without the "squish",
but has it if you want.
PG = subtlety and it doesn't roll off the high end.

I changed to an Analogman modded Dyna Comp (also tried the AYA R-comp),
as I want the compressor to be more noticeable/ i.e. in your face.
I sometimes found the high of the PGC too apparent for my taste, (a personal thing
as this is what some love about it).

The HB (imo) is the best pedal Mr. Juhl has ever made and the one I use most.
It has a variety of uses and Donner pointed out some of these to me too:
1. The HB makes ANY other pedal you have sound good and in some cases better.
2. Fuzz into HB is a KILLER combo.
(I'm not a fuzz guy- but it pushes my Analogman Sunface into the mix and lets it cut through live).
3. With a Fender amp and an open G tuning- it can nail alot of Keith's tones (Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar, Start Me Up.)
4. With a Tele and maxing the gain- you can get some killer early Jimmy Page tones as well as great Malcolm Young rhythm tones.

As I said, it depends on your needs and it's horses for courses.
Somtimes I miss the PGC but the Dyna Comp is more useful at the moment.
The HB, well....that's oxygen for me!

Good Luck with the choice.

Welcome to the addiction indeed! Just an FYI, I think there is a PGC or two floating around on TGP as well. Goodluck!
