oh boy! i actually just got done trying it LIKE THAT......thanks for the suggestion!


Glad if it was helpful. I was, in fact, thinking along the line of the pre-amp/poweramp concept, as Donner suggests, when I initially tried them in that order. I'm pleased as can be with those two.

Quite a few other ODs headed for the auction block now.

HA conspiration abounds :mrgreen:

But yeah I like fender/plexi sort of cleans so for me the perfect set up is PGC > SBEQ and then any drive you put in between them will shine its just a matter of personal taste or something like HB BBOD PGC DRD LGW SBEQ ...with t he light touchy HB BBOD in front of the comp so you retain the preampish finger control and then the DRD and LGW after the comp to be the big power amp type crunch and stackish drives and the SBEQ to keep them cohesive....... or put a white fuzz and SYOD before and a Model H and Cliff hanger after the comp - same thing different flavors 8)

PGC has embarked on its transatlantic flight. I am excited about this one.

No doubt others have made this observation, but one unusual quality of all the BJF designs I've played thus far is the fully functional control parameters. On many fx, a good 15% (or more) of the sweep on each end of any control is pretty much useless - Chorus pedals where the clock signal is loudly thumping away if you turn the intensity past 1:00, ODs that go from dirty boost to industrial noise by the time the gain reaches 11:00, etc., etc. Really limits the usefulness of some otherwise good sounding fx. Also means the useable portion is crammed into a smaller section of the sweep and fine tuning becomes difficult. Well, as I've said elsewhere, BJ seems to actually be designing functional tools for musicians (gosh, what a novel concept).

Great demo video, Bobby! I still need to hear that sucker in person though. I've been going through way too many pedals lately, and I've come to the conclusion that... :shock: I need to TRY them first. 8)

and soon you will be also :mrgreen:
as youve noted BJs stuff is fully functional throughout its range which makes these wide variety of stacks possible - its much easier once you learn the range to mix and match your own tone for whatever your doing ----- you arent limited to sweet spots and leprechans and full moons 8)
