Thanks for taking the time to post the demos and for sharing! Like I tried to encourage years ago here, is for members to sonically document their experiences, because after a short while, the descriptions become limited and superfluous when not backed by some, sort of demo...thanks again ak47.

The Secrets are a rock band that is big on melodies and complex chord changes. They sounds like Queen at times, but with more Beatles-esque melodies generally. Playing their music was a lot of fun because it required lots of different sounds and types of playing- there was lots rock-out barre chording, lots of leads and a couple solos, some chimey clean melodies, and a couple places where we had the "wall of fuzz" thing going. The ensemble is guitar-guitar-keys-bass-drums-vox.
I used the G on more than half the songs, in various combinations with the other BJFE/Bearfoot pedals. When I was playing "guitarmonies" with the other guitarist, I had the CAF going into the G, which sounded really nice. For barre chords, I mixed it up: sometimes just the G, sometimes just the HB, sometimes either pedal being goosed by the PGC & BPB (LOVED these sounds), and then when I really wanted it to rock I stacked the HB into the G, which really is an incredible sound. The solos I took were usually PGC > BPB > HB > SBEQ.
In all cases I was primarily playing the bridge pickup on one of the Jazzmasters, (though I used the middle position on the humbucker jazzmaster a fair amount). The OS-21 was set up to be "clean-ish": the gain was at Noon and the master was cranked.
Here are a few pics I snapped during soundcheck and then during Eddie's set.

So cool to get the MG as it's first being offered, then use it straight away in a many varied format by itself and stacked, especially at a venue that size....fresh picked and "prepared" like the Amish
Was your set recorded at all? That'd be great to hear in general, and bits of the G in action as well.
