BJFE / BearFoot fx Guitar Effects Community

Sorry guys, I got stuck in a meeting... don't they know that I have more important things to do! Work! Sheesh!

I have a Honey Beast with the extra knob as well. Looks very cool and I am excited to plug it in. I'm going to try and sneak in a preview tonight, but might have to wait till Sat morning to really give it a good go.

I'm glad to hear comparisons to the MHvt - I really miss that pedal. I have owned 2 BJFE HBOD, a Bearfoot one, and a SHOD so I'm curious to see how this compares.

Any word of a third pedal out there or are we just at the two?

Milky way?

I'm very, very impressed, if not blown away with 4H. The adjustment of the TONE and TREBLE knobs makes the pedal sound much more complex than the three knob sounded to my ears.
To me, I hear these pedals becoming more, and more amp like, which I think is a big deal, because they were already amp like! I was trying the 4H through my 68 Twin reverb, with a 62 reissue SG.
I would have played all day with it, as I was super enjoying the sounds, but my naggy downstairs neighbor was pounding on my ceiling communicating displeasure. The superlative tone of the 4h is evidenced by that displeasure.
I used to own a 69 Hiwatt 50 watt, (don't ask why I sold it. Big mistake) and this gets close, close, close. I was enjoying the subtle variations of turning the TONE, and TREBLE 10 oclock'ish and fine tuning them slightly off from each other.
Complex, amp-like. Laney Supergroup Like. Laney Klipp like. Old Marshall Like. Old Hiwatt Like. I was playing riffs from Led ZEP III, and early Black Sabbath, and 4H sounded great.
I am totally into this pedal. Also can be adjusted to sound like Danzig 1. I hope this is giving some idea of the sounds of the 4H. My initial impression is that I very much prefer it to the 3 knob.
More later, and I apologize for not being a great communicator, just trying my best to express! Looking forward to hearing from the smart 4H owners!-Tim

Chicago reporting...... I got the honey "altered" beest. I'm dying to try this
Guy out!! I'm incredibly curious about the pregain knob!

For those that have it... Would you say the sag is gone and replaced by syrupy gain?

WOW! I must confess I never quite connected to the HBOD... blasphemy, I know, but I always preferred the tweed vibe of the Model G to the HBOD. This HBOD is something different. I only got to play it for 10 minutes with everything at noon, but through a neck HB'er it's Ry Cooter "Down in Mississippi" in a box! What a great surprise. Are the new threads implying that this is a Bearfoot MG in disquise?

OK hope everyone is havng fun ( note to self ~ wear respirator when painting ....) ....


Yes ! 6 of one, half dozen of the other, as the old thingy goes....


I had no idea who got what - it was random ...

And after youve had enough time with them - feel free to pair off with someone from the other group and do your own mini tour box or just trade for good if you like ..... the whole point was the thrill of the group suprise and I hope everyone enjoyed it so far.......

Ill let you guys feel them out blind til tomorrow and then we can go into what is actually different .... use your own ears and have fun doing it.....

I will also work on getting up pages on the sale site for those that want in

Man, you had me going for a bit there with the EGDM/Model G teaser. Well played!

Will these be in addition to or in place of existing models?

I'd be willing to bet it's the HBOD from the BJFe HBOD Dlx... remember all that talk of -- we can't fit the pedal with the pregain trimmer into a smaller box... well Bearfoot did it with the MGMV... sounds like they did it with the HBOD Dlx now too

sounds plausible. If I were a betting man I'd take that wager
