Brown Eye & Hairy Brown Eye Are Here

[Doubleneck]

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.

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.

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!!
Cant believe that I am getting such KILLER MARSHALL tones out my Randall!!

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

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..........
