Looking to purchase an EGDM...

[Mpguitar1]

Hey guys, I'm looking to step into the BJFe world, but don't want to get ripped off in the process. What's a fair price for an Emerand Green Distortion Machine? I have tried to find sample pricing all over the web, but couldn't find much current information. Thank you for your time!

there's one currently on TGP for $550. strike me as a bit rich but you may want to go for it. I haven't seen that many out there recently.

at that price, I am quite happy to wait for Donner to BF it someday.

Welcome to the forum, Mpguitar1. Info sent to your inbox. Good luck in your quest! Me? I'm with 54gt on waiting for a BF release someday.

It's funny, a year and a half ago everyone was selling the EGDM for $360 and it seemed lots of flippers. In the last 4 - 5 months I haven't seen any and it seems all the focus is on the PGC.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'd love to get into the BJFe club (I've got a bearfoot model h but that doesn't count I don't think!) but all the EGDMs I see are 500+! Thanks for steering me in the eight direction, and hopefully I'll come across one for a more manageable price in the near future. In the meantime I'll just hang out and learn all I can about BJFe from you guys!

Don't sell yourself short. The Bearfoot line is absolutely amazing, and you could not ask for better quality. I actually preferred my Bearfoot HBOD over my BJFE version. It was probably just a matter of the subtle difference in components, but the quality of each was unparelleled.

Wow! The prices have shot up since I bought my last EGDM in the spring of 08. Unfortunately, I sold off all of my BJFe's, the EGDM was one that I bought and sold three times.

I am glad to see the Bearfoot line as a viable option to the BJFe line. I may have to hold out for the EGDM as well as pick up the HBOD(one that got away too), MH(one I never got to try), and MGMV(one I never got to try either). Not sure what the BeeST will be like, but that does sound cool...anything like the RRB? That was one pedal I really regret selling. It really was great by itself and made other BJFe's sound great!

I swear that I saw an EGDM with four knobs recently, is this how they are made now, or is this a one-off?

I got an EGDM about a month ago from custom-sounds (18 month wait !) and mine is labeled Volume-Nature-Fuzz instead of Volume-Voice-Dist, and I thought this is the way these are made today. 4-knobber would be interesting, but I find the trimmer to be exatly as described, set-and-forget.

yeeeow! 18 months?? I suppose that I'm waiting on a pedal that I got on a list 18 months ago , so I can't say too much

I think when I bought (one of) my old EGDM's back in the late spring of 2007, I was at five months, and that was along with a HBOD.

People are jonesin' for BJFe pedals as they were then!

That is kind of sad to read. The EGDM is definitely a great pedal. It was my first BJFe pedal, way back in february of 2006. I can't believe that I had three in my hands at different times and let them all go. If it won't be readily available or available at all coming soon(?), since I don't really rely on a Vox-ish tone much these days, I will let those who do have at 'em.

I should have heeded the advice of someone when we were talking about these when I ordered my second EGDM and HBOD that they can't be made forever...
