Just a quick review of my new nickel plated 4 channel Guardian saber!
Mid grade blade looks fantastic.
I tired a new option with the Pointed tip. All my other sabers have the rounded tip, but now I prefer the pointed version.
I know the Nickel plating is not accurate to the movie version of this saber, but the shine is fantastic and makes it look even better.
I got a blue illuminated AV switch on channel 4 in series with the blade. This was recommend by some people on the forum, and a great choice. I only wanted it to be blue, and can now increase or decrease the brightness.
I missed out on a Nickel plated version of this saber a few months ago. I emailed Emory and got a quick reply. He said their would be Nickel plated Guardians in stock but he was not sure when. Im glad I waited!
Initially I struggled using the Obsidian launcher on my first saber. After a while I got used to it and now find it very easy. The Obsidian Launcher for the LED looked a little confusing. But after watching a few tutorial online and exploring it myself it was very straight forward and easy to use.
The fact that this saber can pulse from one colour to another is brilliant. With 2 pulses and 1 Flash on Clash, you can pick three of your favourite colours to use! You can even control the time it takes to build up to a colour, maintain a colour and then build up to a second one. Plus you can control how many times your saber will Flash. All of this is incredibly easy. No load screen and you can test a colour at any point!
Here shows the saber pulsing from Arctic blue to Guardian blue. 0.5 second build up and 2 second per colour.

http://youtu.be/A89iYIc3VKQThe only thing I was a little concerned when ordering was the sound. I had previously ordered a separate Guardian pommel to go with my Bellicose. The sound was a little muffled. BUT the pommel that came with this saber was amazing. The holes for the sound are a different shape. It keeps the sound very loud. Just as good as my other sabers.
If anyone is thinking about getting an Emerald driver on their next saber I would really recommend it.
The next one for me... The Graflex CE
