Sweet Honey

[zion]

I'm giving it a workout tonight...

First impressions are that this is a great middle of the spectrum OD.

In terms of the amount of drive available, I'd say somewhere between Klon and Timmy.

Honey Bee clone? No - Much less finicky but has that feel, that touch sensitivity that to me makes the Honey Bee great. I find the Honey Bee finicky in terms of pickups (which is not necessarily a bad thing - Just a characteristic that I hear). With it I'd have to adjust the settings quite a bit to optimize for a Tele, Paul, and/or Strat. Not so much with the Sweet Honey.

Seems to be less compressed and not tied into the Supro sound.

The focus knob is a subtle adjustment at lower volumes, but crank up your amp to hear the ground that it covers.

A cool thing is how low-gain it can go while retaining volume.

It looks sweeeet.

I will not succumb to your feeble attempt to give me GAS.

Please delete this post immediately.



I now have GAS. Damn you Zion.

Hi Zion

What do you make of the rocketride?

[CitizenAudio]

Describe the finicky aspect of the HBOD you didn't like.

Rocketride Asteroid - I'm really enjoying it. It's got a depth that's hard to describe. This ain't your Small Clone!

The Vibe side is dreamy. Sounds like my Vibe without the "throb" noise. Can get seasick!

mmmmm can't wait for mine to land. and my Asteroids DLX is in the mail right now, woohoo :AOK

Damn, I'm GASing now for a SHOD. Any favorite settings?

[zion]

Settings - What you see pictured is nice.
Amp on the edge of clean/breakup. Running into the clean end of a RetroMan DumBox for some added girth and EQ.
Dig-in for some "Hittin' the Note" leads, back off for some breathy chords. Very nice!
