How did you manage to get the circuit into the smaller enclosure? Is it the exact same circuit with better planning to fit in the small box or is it a modified version of the BJFe MGMV?

Its magic like in the vid I put up on the FB page nd utoob channel

Nope same circuit - same full size components, no SMD ..... this took awhile needless to say ..... but this is one of the things we have been able to improve by using some tecniques we couldnt before ---- Bjorn always makes his own BJF boards from scratch for a few reasons ..... but on more of a larger production scale it becomes more practical to have boards professionally made and with some really good planning, it just barely fits --- I think you could spit on the populated board and not hit board

same with the drives so far - we got the HB,DRD and H all on the same board - this saves time and money which helps get the price down while maintaining the quality.

Can you literally put all three on one board and send it to me? I'd love to own the only...

Man that just rolls so smoothly off the tongue. I think the only hard part will be getting all those letters onto the enclosure.... Where can I send payment?

Ha - no its more like an engine building block - you can trick it out for speed or torque or noise or milage - but the basic engine follows a similar path....its how you tweek it that gives it its character.

I see... so what you're saying is that it'll need a character toggle to make the Mo-dynal H-Oney B-Red Dist-overdrive-tion a reality...


I will accept this however I demand a discount!

So now that the MGMV is done and was such a complex build, the next bearfoot release will be easy and should be ready in no time, right???

I'm gonna be mad if the next release isn't another one of the green ones.......

Haha, touche. So the next release needs to be either the EGDM, PGC, or the Model Green.

Nah... I really not thinking it'll be a Model G, with so many people screaming for the PGC and EGDM. But... The Model G actually fared well in my TGP poll! Maybe I should bump the thread.... Here's how it ended up:

I'm realizing that that pole didn't seem to influence anything -- look where the SBMV ended up
