The last thing I need is another OD, but... as a proud owner of killer little '60 GA-5, uh.... calling Bearfoot (or whomever's gonna help get this one out to a wider market)... :wave :pedallove

I'm lame and didn't record this weekend... I was just trying to do it at home, but the volume level I want for the demo might cause a riot from the neighbors. We're playing again in two weeks, I'll record a snippet for sure.

Ran the Model G through the effects loop with great results will see what happens with it up front. Sorry

I have to say I love my MG! I had to sell a few pedals over the past few months but the MG just had to stay. the CHII as well! Love the MG.

If have had a little time with the MG now. Its quite and interesting pedal. So far I like it much more than my HB DLX that I sold. Lots of different tones in this little guy. The MG reminds me of my Tweed Super. It's probably the most touch sensitive pedal that I have played. I like the Nature knob CCW. It really makes it sound big and gives a different texture to the overdrive. Great Blues pedal. I also find it to be a better stacker than my HB DLX was.

This is a pedal I would definitely like to add to my collection.

I'm with Mike - great blues pedal - has a real tweed spirit to it but seems more tonally dynamic than the HBOD. It also packs one hell of a volume boost to it.

Embarrassing confession... I have never owned an amp with an effects loop (until now) and had been running my MG through the loop. Now that it is in the proper position, I have to say, I like what happens when the MG is in the loop - more gain, not noisy, and very classic rock sounding. Go figure...

Donnel, you should know there's no wrong way to do it! You just gotta use your ears :) Glad you're still digging the G regardless of whether it's in the loop or out front :music

The model G is a GREAT pedal. Definitely different than the HBOD though if you put the nature CCW and the "C" knob CCW as well you can get close. Its got a much richer and more refined drive. Not saggy like the HBOD. Probably my fave drive of the BJFE lineup :) Lots of love for the SYOD and HBOD though !

I really like this pedal. BALANCED would be the one word I would use to describe it.

Man, I've been away for a while. This model G sounds like a great pedal.

sounds like a good canidate to get into the hands of some more peoples via Bearfoot!

I think I have all the fuzz I can handle, now I need to get back some OD's! :glasses

I love my G. I set the drive at 9 and leave it on all the time. Now I wish I had two of them.
