BJFE / BearFoot fx Guitar Effects Community

The more I play with the PH, I could see this becoming the most valuable pedal on my board. I could easily live with the PH > PGC > SBMV and ditch the drives. The PH > PGC combo gets an amazing clean sustain effect. I can set it up where I don't hear the limiting of peaks, but the fade is sustained. Similar to the outro piano chord on A Day in the Life. Stay tuned...

Jdandry got me thinking. How about a Bearfoot SBEQ Deluxe with a Purple Humper up front?
That would be fun.

Why not just replace the volume knob with the purple humper circuit for a Bass/Mid/Treble EQ. Or if the boost can get out of hand make it a 4-knobber. That would be pretty cooool

I've always wanted a mid-boost on my SBEQ! you know, with the bearfoot brand there's a lot of cool stuff that can be made that all of us have wanted for a long long time! So many interesting combos that we can all get.

Yeah me too - I think maybe a SBEQ mid control and the Humper are two different things ...

I would use the Humper before dirt and the SBEQ at the end of the dirt section ------ but it would be a great excuse to have two EQs !!!

The PH seems like a great pedal. I can think of a few applications to use it in. It seems like it would be great to use to get solid Billy Gibbons tone going(?)

I think the PH/SYOD combo would be cool. I say this in theory because I've never had experience with either pedal.

Hmm... I will have to try it after drives. I assume after will give a mid push without increasing the distortion since the level increase isn't going into the drive. Verrrry interesting...

Yupper --- and really the Humper is even better after fuzzes that sound cool but dont cut in a mix - it accentuates the mids with mudding out - turns a fuzz into an OD ---- this is a take off of running a fuzz into a tube screamer to make a singing od --- but this way it still sounds like a fuzz ....

Yup, good for playing your strat as a strat and then going to the bridge pup and the humper for Tush how how how how

Anyone have a vid clip of the Humper in action? Maybe with a Tele?

The RRB, just another one of those great BJFE "one knob wonders" that do so much; in this case, giving you a range of options from subtle boost with some added warmth right up to overdriven mayhem!

I can attest. I waited a long time to bag my RRB, and it makes a hell of a difference. I am so impressed by how it can crush an amp. The thickening and sweetening provided makes everything around it sound better, and I can run my guitar with the volume down to clean things up (what a surprise). The RRB is a one-knobbed-wonder.

One might find a thickening from the SBEQ as well when using the Treble and Bass controls as cuts.

There are many options. Enjoy!

Howzabout a small Tourbox with my PH ? ..... any of you that have a SBEQ, are in the US and will pay shipping to the next person - post here and Ill send it around and we can get some other opinions.... (if your town is not in your sig please include it in your post)
