The Yellow Brick Road

[Donner]

Yeah, the 5e3 can be tricky with pedals. I really like using an HBOD into mine and the AnalogMan KoT was superb with the 5e3 as well. The KoT really shone with the treble increased just a bit. I really want to try an MG into my 5e3 though.

Luckily after the 17 month wait I just got mine in the mail yesterday.. no high gain stuff though, just regular. I'm even more pumped about the SYv2 though..

Just got an HBOD or a KoT? hard to go wrong with either to be honest...

So, any consensus on the Bearfoot SYOD? One unit with switches? Two different units altogether? Some crazy 2-in-1 monster of tone? Will the paint sparkle? I am partial to a good metal flake. I can't lie, they always look so good. Since I'm from Pittsburgh I am obligated (by law, I believe) to say that black text would look quite good on a yellow metal flake box.

K Heres the plan as it stands .......

There will eventually be 5 Sparkling Yellow ODs

They will all be the same color Yellow
SY1 will have silver glitter SY2 will have gold glitter
They will all have White lettering ~ but NO white stripe like the research models
(considering silver and gold lettering to match as well, not sure yet ...)

First will come the 4 knob versions - not sure if we can do both at the same time, but it would be good to do a sort of twins thing again for the BearFoot research release ....
then will come individual 3 knobs and a 4 knob that will do both by switching the rotor 4th knob .... then world domination

So the rotary switch version will come later?
I'd be down to pick up the 4K twins for a round of research

[Justen S]

I think the rotary should come first because then you people can decide which they like and get another one later.

I'll hold out for a 3 knob myself but I will seriously want to try v1 and v2. Maybe the rotary for the research batch would be a good way to start so people can gather impressions of both rather quickly

[thiscalltoarms]

I am digging the rotary both version idea. I have a SYODv1.

[SteveA]

Love this idea! So we'll have a batch of SYOD v1 & v2 4K ! I'm in

[SteveA]

will these SYOD v1 & v2 4K be a bearfoot or bjfe release for the research ?

[Donner]

will these SYOD v1 & v2 4K be a bearfoot or bjfe release for the research ?

Oh good point - its all BearFoot

[Strat-o-lux]

Damn, disappear for a few weeks and come back to find this.

Been wanting to try a SYOD for a long time. Awesome!

[Hulakatt]

I think it says something that I've never seen an SYOD for sale. I know it happens, I've just never seen it.
