Hi guys,

I've read that the Bjfe pedals can works at different voltages..

I have a classical Boss 9 volt power-pack, the one that you can use with all the Boss pedal.. Can I use it for ALL bjfe's pedal that I'll buy in my life?? Now I have an Honey Bee and a Mighty Green Minivibe Deluxe, I can power both them with the Boss power-pack?

thanks a lot! :D

Most likely. Here are all the voltages.

don't know any pedal that needs below or over 9v, so should be fine!

I've tried to SAG the voltage on HBOD, MH, and the CAF. Honestly, I haven't heard an over all noticeable difference. I have a Voodoo Lab PP2+ so I can SAG it down to about 4 but by then it sounds sapped of life. Tried to find a sweet spot around 7.5 but again, I don't notice much difference.

Does anyone have any recommendation on suffocating the headroom on the Model Hv1? I like the way it sounds with the volume pot around 12-2 but it's hard to mesh it volume wise with everything else in my rig. It's just so much louder then everything else.

I have found the biggest changes is going from 9 to 12 or 18 Volts. Many of Bjorn's pedals get a fatter, tighter bottom and a sweeter top end at 18 Volts along with more headroom and less distortion. I also notice that the frequency mode goes up in frequency as you add Volts.

Pedals that sound great at 18 Volts: EGDM, SBEQ, RRB (I think), certain versions of PH and PGC.

Pedals that sound great at 12 Volts: DRD, MH v1, HBOD, SBEQ, EGDM, and the Bearfoot Honey Beeatch.

Just make sure you check and double check Bjorn's Voltage recommendations for maximum Voltage or you will be crying a river of tears!
