Just got a nice surprise today.

Got my SL converted to a Brown Eye, EG3/4 converted to a Hairy Brown Eye.

First impressions are wow I really like. :thumbsup:

The Brown Eye is so much more open sounding than the SL and has quite a bit more gain. The Hairy Brown Eye as well has more gain but is much tighter and less compressed sounding.

BMan, BE, & HBE compliment each other very well in my MOD 100, The mids are perfect!

Paypaled Dave on Friday and modules were sitting at my doorstep today. :rock:

Coooooooooooooool. I should have my Brown Eye plexi module back from Dave within a couple days. I'm stoked :)

Are the differences that much between the two that you would say it would be cool to get both mods done?

I have both and if I had to do it over again I would do the same. Get both if you find yourself wanting more of everything that is in the BE:)

I just got in from playing and A/B'ing the SL2 and the HBE. The HBE is alot fuller and more musical, the mids are perfect.

It has everything I love about the SL2 & the EG5 in one module!

I wouldn't say that the differences between The Brown Eye & the Hairy Brown Eye are that different (the gain structure is different) but they compliment each other very well.

I spent most of my time on the HBE, but yes the Brown Eye & the Hairy Brown Eye are different enough to warrant getting both.
 
I have both of them as well and I always find myself switching back to the Hairy Brown eye module. Love the Brown eye tone, but I feel that I can cop the feel of it by just turning the gain back a little on the HBE. But yes they compliment the rig PERFECTLY! Just cant get over that HBE tone!! Great mids and so VICIOUS in tone!! :worship:
Cant believe that I am getting such KILLER MARSHALL tones out my Randall!! :rock:
 
Any hope of some clips of the HBE?!?!?! Very interested in hearing a review of this mod.
 
Wonder if Dave could do the BE/HBE on my EG5?? Guess I could send him an e-mail :doh:

I doubt it, since the voicing of that module is very different than a SL2. His mod on an EG5 is killer though :)

Clips coming REALLY soon.

Eric, what does he do to the EG5 and how is it compared to stock??

Basically makes it more of a modern type tone. Takes the same tone stack, and adds some lower mids, makes the EQ a bit more diverse, and just adds some aggression to it. Smooths out the highs a bit, and gives it a even more muscular vibe to it. Definitely a really cool change.

When I spoke to Dave he told me he can make the EG3/4, SL2 or the EG5 into an HBE.

Just as a heads up you'll loose the function of the bright switches.

It really isn't a BE/HBE module either, it's really a HBE/HBE with the A side having slightly less gain.
 
Cool, thanks for the info!! Exactly what I needed. Now to determine if I should do the HBE or the standard EG5 mod........? Decisions.......... :doh:
