yes the old HBOD's are darker than the BF's, and according to reports, the newer BJFE's
and similarly the newer 2 stomp bjfe MGMV's are brighter than the older one stomp MGMV's
I spoke to Bjorn about the MGMV and he said it was his way of making the vibe sound more balanced
with the HBOD I think its most likely a case of more tops than less bottom, at least that what I heard when I
a/b'd with the BF and my old bjfe.
the newer HBOD's add a little sparkle to the top end, whereas the older ones actually rounded off the high end
but more importantly I think there is something different with the mids as well, but thats harder to define
chewiness is one word that springs to mind, but thats not too helpful is it really
the funny thing is the HBOD was one of the first BJFE's I ever got, and it really took me a while to "get it"
I was quite bummed about what it did to my highs, and lows,
but then the dynamics became apparent and, well, it hasn't left my board since
I have been planning on asking Bjorn or Donner if it would be possible to change a few components in the BF HBOD to make
it sound like the older darker HBOD. Maybe its a simple case of different value resistor/cap's here and there?
Maybe it could become an official mod? A "folk" mod ?
so Donner, Bjorn, is this a realistic concept?
