like you I have been a bit gluttonous in my pedal purchases and I need to stop!... so that I can muster up a deposit for Brandon... lol...

I'd take a Model G over an SS-3 any day but different strokes for different folks.

Who's board is that?

A huge thanks to a member of this board that is shipping me several rare BJFEs that I have not experienced yet. Should be fun!

Very true and valid point.

Sadly, though, nary a BJFE to be seen...

I still have a few which I love dearly and still use, this was actually a photo from a cornish thread, hence no BJFE. I'm completely with you on finding the merrits from different builders. After a jam session this weekend, I didn't feel like setting everything up at home again so I just pulled out my two favorite pedals... One BJFE and one Cornish.

I actually think if I reduced everything down, I would own 3 or 4 Cornish and 3 or 4 BJFE and be done with it. BJFE stuff is harder to choose between because they all have such subtle things about them. Undeniably, I think the BJFE are the king of all pedals I have tried when it comes to leaving them on and playing them like you would an amp (guitar volume up and down thing). The Cornish tend to be more compressed (not so much with the SS3). I have no interest in the "better" than discussion, for me it's about application, each of them have their place (says the mediocre weekend warrior guitarist ... lol).

On the "misinformation" thing, I think we just have different ways of describing a similar sonic event that both have roots from the builder himself, I have read both discriptions (my description was also from something Bjorn had written to someone, I just can't remember where I read it).

No drooling on the G, Joel. I hear it adversely affects the tone.

I am quite happy for you.

Cheers.

Haha, I'll do my best to keep the drool away from it. I missed the postman today , so I'll have to pick it up in the morning.

Uh, ya might not be so thankful after you try'em and then feel like ya gotta buy'em, as happens to be the case so often with BJFEs!

Must have Model R!

Thanks to Michael I now have switched my gas focus to the Model R! It isn't that I don't like the model G it's like the MG sounds a lot like my Swart AST Pro cranked up, or boosted with a SBEQ. I had heard the AST was inspired by a small Gibson amp, so maybe it's true!

It is good that I have a PedalTrain 2, or I would be scheming a way to pick up a AWF and a SYOD (either version). I don't really have room for the MR, but I could see it in rotation with my fuzz for times I don't need one.

Finally stumbled upon the old Model G demo I was trying to remember:

Our own Mr. Chaotic. A clip of his GA-40 on the same page, for comparison - any of you never played one.

Damn. Now I really want a Model G.
