Bjfe's voltages

Postby Andy » Wed May 16, 2012 9:59 am

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

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!
