Hi fellow saber enthusiasts!
After an edge-of-my-seat wait, I received my Emerald Shock with Obsidian v4 sound! As-ordered, it's set to Sunrider's Destiny, pulse to Emerald Green, FoC Arctic Blue. I haven't twiddled with the settings yet, but expect me to do some light mods and so forth after I finish my review.
This initial post is me unboxing the saber and posing with it a little. I will post a review video in about a week, time and resources willing.




Sorry in advance for the quiet audio. I stood back from my laptop, its fan was running, and I was trying not to disturb the neighbours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd10i9LVFi0

There are neither light or dark side; The Force is a vast and beautiful rainbow. I would seek neutrality and balance in and through the Force.

 Great shiny new toy !  You Look very happy thank you for sharing . The look on your face I might assume you were wanting to see the pulse/ flicker effect. If you don't already it c OK me stock set slow fade from one color to another.
           There are a few topics in the emerald enclave section that various people have put together for settings on flicker effect color patterns etc. Check it out. I'm currently on my phone  at work LOL or I'd paste them for you. Easy to find though.

Thanks, Bulvoy! I did observe the pulse during my unboxing video, and you're right, it's slow; the default cycle is 9 seconds long. It's hard to tell the difference on my laptop's camera because SRD and EG are very similar colours; SRD is 100% Green and 13% Blue, and the only difference for EG is 10% less Blue. It still looks amazing!
I've fiddled with the settings a bit and shortened the cycle to 5 seconds, and the overall pattern to a 5x extended "heartbeat" pattern. Idle on SRD for 2.5 seconds, both transitions are 0.5 seconds, and EG for 1.5. I might tinker a bit more, or shorten the cycle, but I'm very happy with it. I'll post a review later on this thread, once I've had a chance to get used to it a bit more.
