A black little box (Model H )

Postby polifemo » Thu May 24, 2007 5:24 am

Bjorn just inforned me about this forum, so I just had to drop by and say Hello!

OK, a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine (*top producer/sessionplayer)dropped by my house.

I had just bought a vintage Big Muff for him, and he dropped by to pick it up.

He brought with him a bunch of his latest BJF-pedals, and the last one he plugged in was a "black little box".

He played the intro to the Who?s "My generation" and looked up at me smiling. I don.t know if I smiled or not, but in my mind I was going " Where the xxxx did that HIWATT come from...
No folks, there was no HIWATT in the room, there was "only" Bjorns HIWATT-pedal :-)

Yes folks, I have heard, seen and played it, and it rocks!!!




* my producer/sessionplayer friend was a strong believer in vintage pedals. During the years he has collected some of the holy grails among pedals and was putting them ina big rack.
I listened to his rig and said "This is just fine, but I?d like to introduce you to a friend of mine!"

To make a long story short, his rig now is made up of BJF pedals ;-) I think he has bought 14 pedals! At least ;-)

This will be all for now.

Model H and DRD for comparison


the Tone control in the middle adjusts the mids as well as you can hear..
