New member, old LGW

[Vinkie]

Hi everybody! This is my first post here, what a great resource for anything BJFe! Thanks for allowing me to join.

When I was on the Musictoyz forum more than 10 years ago I often read about people raving over the BJFe pedals but never saw or heard one irl. However the musicstore I currently work for is a Mad Professor dealer so I got familiar with these pedals over the past years and liked them a lot. So, when I saw a BJFe Little Green Wonder at the Veenendaal Vintage Guitar show last Saturday, sitting on a booth from dealer from Denmark I know quite well, I was interested in getting it. I got really lucky because after some involved trading I was able to get it in return for my days work at the Show and eur 50,- which is an absolute steal. I opened the pedal when I got home and found a thumbs-up drawing, the Elfa K430 box and serial #111.

I love how this pedal works in my setup. My Jazzmasters and '65 Deluxe Amp tend to be quite bright but the LGW somehow kills any obnoxious presence/treble while still sounding clear and defined. I love that it seems to sounds a bit smoother and a bit more compressed than the MP LGW, which is an advantage for me. The touch-sensitivity is really good, especially at the lower gain settings I tend to use. Also, the bridge pickup sounds great now (a sound I rarely if ever used before) and my trusty old ZVEX SuperDuper is great for pushing the LGW into a slightly fuzzy and loud lead tone. So, while I'm very late to this party I am really enjoying this pedal!

Great news Vinkie!

Good to hear you are loving the pedal...BJFs are pretty special!

Hi Zhivago, cool to meet you here as well as on OSG. I read about your recent HBOD purchase, congrats! I can imagine it works great with your old tweed Princeton.

Indeed!

This is a great place to get so much info...there is not much traffic, but I have read most threads anyway!

The HB sounds nice with the Tweed amp, but it is a bit of the same thing, so it can be overkill...it works very well with my Matchless Lightning though.

And i stacks amazingly well with my Model H 4K...if you can get your hands on a HB, definitely get it. It is a total classic!

Oh yeah . the LGW is still a favorite for stacking -- especially fuzzes are nicely converted into a hybrid fuzz drive tone ... congrats!!
