Pink Purple Fuzz and Model H now in the house!

Postby roquero » Mon Jan 31, 2011 6:45 pm

I snagged these two babies a couple of weeks ago in the TGP Emporium, but have been travelling and haven't had much of a chance to give them a whirl:
Image
My Honey Bee felt lonely all by itself, so now it has a Pink Purple Fuzz and Model H to keep it company!
My Model H is serial number 67, which is the subject of some controversy.
According to the Library on this site:
"it is from and including #070 that V2 of the circuit was implemented. BJ had to make a decision at #067 whether he would implement the V2 circuit and decided to slightly delay its implementation at #070"
Now it says v2 on the box.
Someone either here or on TGP wrote about this pedal: ""Thats one of three which are "half way to v2" circuitwise, originally sold via tgt11 i believe""
According to Ebenezer, who I bought this pedal from: "I actually emailed Bjorn about it and he said its actually a version 2, plain and simple."
Maybe Bjorn will pipe in here and clarify this, but I believe the info in the library about this pedal is wrong, and should be amended.
In any case, the Model H and Pink Purple Fuzz make a dynamic duo, and I am having a quite a bit of fun playing them!
Piglett loves the PPF because its color almost matches his skin color!:

I was totally confused as to what version this was when I had it. I then sent it into Bjorn as I had a slight problem with it, not only did he fix it very quickly, he took a look under the hood and confirmed it was indeed a version 2. Anyway, I'm glad to see the model h has a good home. I really did love the pedal I just had an opportunity to get a bjfe lgw that I couldn't pass up. Enjoy the model h!

Thanks Ebenezer- Bjorn's word is good enough for me. Whatever version it may be- 2, 1.5 or ????, it ROCKS, and that's what counts!

My quote is the chorus of "Nobody's Hero" from Stiff Little Fingers

Double negatives from the heart of Northern Ireland! :music

The only star in my family is Piglett:

You should have seen his expression when he added the Honey Bee to the stack! :laughing4

He particularly loves the Pink Purple Fuzz because its color matches his!

After much experimenting I found that I liked the Pink Purple Fuzz at the end of the dirt chain. Of course, I had to adjust the settings [lowering the fuzz knob, turning the Nature knob fully counterclockwise], but oh, what a sound! It makes the perfect lead sound. I just flick the PPF on and I can play glorious leads with screaming harmonics. And backing the guitar volume knob down to 7, I can get a powerful crunch on bar chords!
Plus I just got a NEW addition to my BJF family- a brand spanking new Dyna Red Distortion from Sweden! :pedallove
Now, if I could only pry it from Piglett's hands long enough to try some more stacking :thumbup:

Sounds awesome -- the PPF is one of the few I haven't had the pleasure of playing myself. Glad you're liking it and keep experimenting with the order and the knobbies -- there are seemingly limitless tones in those BJFe pedals :thumbup:

Have fun~! :joker
