Great...and they're next to impossible to find now...and you pay through the nose.IMO - nothing.
That Nature knob and the inherent dynamic qualities are unlike anything else I've tried.
Yeah, kinda sucks.Great...and they're next to impossible to find now...and you pay through the nose.

I agree. If you want that tone you'll have to pay for it. Quite different than anything else I've found.IMO - nothing.

IMO, I agree with Erksin's HO.IMO - nothing.

How many drinks are we talkin' ? ....when i play crap crap bars sometimes i tweak a keeley bd2 and get it close... after a few drinks... if you are really conservative with the tone knob...
i prefer not to take my babies into scummy bars... fulldrive into keeley bd2- leave the Zen and HBOD at home...
BINGO!My fender champ turned all the way up sounds just like one.
just enough to loosen up a bit and fudge on the picking dynamics- which no other pedal does like a bjf. the tone knob on keeley's can get you ballpark for a few select settings, but the nature knob is unique for sure. that fizziness of the honey bee is there on the bd2 though. hmmm. theres the missing compression on the bd2 also.
its not really ideal, but it will make do on occasion. basically its cheaper and sounds ballpark gritty overdrive and with keeley its more bass conscious and tonally, but lacks some of syrup-y compression of hbod. dynamics are decent, but having any pedal company try to compete with the mad prof's picking dynamics is madness itself.
Well maybe I'm the exception (though I think DonneR holds the same opinion), but through my rig the HBOD sounds like a big '60s Ampeg V-4. I never understood the whole 'sounds like a cranked Supro/tweed/whatever' comments myself - unless you're cranking the gain on it or something.Nothing sounds like the HB....except a cranked tweed amp. My fender champ turned all the way up sounds just like one.
