WOW! Honey Bee!

Cool!
I have a Honey Bee on the way and I'm hoping for some thick chewy tones.

 

the Honey Bee is also really useful for 'flavoring' the Timmy,,, so try the HB into the Timmy into the UG30, maybe back the level on the HB back to unity......but you can use it to get more of the touch dynamic distortion and still get the Timmy/UG30 sound your diggin...

 

****!!!! i erased, by accident what i just wrote! shite!! anyway, with my strat, which has the phenom wagner sr set, the bee gives up blind faith circa clapton. it kills with a leslie, too! but for a GREAT working mini-od station, place an everman fuzz drive g2 before it to get into landgraf/cjod territory with much more slice! pure tonal heaven, trust me. it really is a special overdrive!

I, too, have recently learned to speak Bee.

It is very cool. i am definitely a bee keeper.

 

yeah, that was me, ricky. you know, as a player & writer of his own music for years, i've always been envious of those who play in cover bands. i've always had to snatch disruptive minutes out of a rehearsal, just to play the solo section from "ice cream cakes" or "celestial seasonings" (you know, the tune in a loop from birds of fire). so the answer to your question re "had to cry today" is yes, if you give me a minute or 2.

Just got my Honey Bee today and I'm floored. Haven't had a lot of time with it but theres so many different tones in that little box. The drive tone is exactly what I was hoping for and the Nature control is just wild. As a bonus full CCW on the Nature and it has a cool fuzz tone! Well worth the cash.

 

do the honey bee's have a decent amount of volume on tap? can it only be used on an amp that's set clean or can it be used on an amp that's already slightly overdriven. once i save some money the next two pedals on my list are the honey bee and sea blue eq. i already have a timmy on the way and that should be enough for overdrive pedals. a good delay is the only other thing i'd really need.

 

My Timmy won't be constructed till October, but my HoneyBee is somewhere over Helsinki. I really like what Bjorn is doing- his designs are refreshingly original. Bit by bit, I'd like to replace almost everything on my board w/ BJF.

As truly fabulous as my Memory Lane is, I'd be very interested in his take on an analog delay circuit. Very interested. Are you reading this, Bjorn?

 

Hi Thank you for the good words gentlemen,

Your HB I think should be over the Atlantic...

Yes, drolling, I am reading.

At your service
BJ

 

Just so you know I asked Jason to tell you for me, but I am extremely pleased with the EGDM you sent me (#75) It is absolutely fabulous. I love it. I will be getting more soon probably a honey bee. Thanks BJ.

 

Hi,

Well, pleased to meet you,pacomc79.
Ah, the 075, yes I do remember that one, I am glad you enjoy it.

Best
BJ

 

Hello BJ,
May I ask you a question? I have looked at your honey bee pedal for some time. I've read all the comments. Sounds like a great pedal. My question is, I'm a Gibson, humbucker player. Not a Fender, single coil man. Many pedals seem to work well with either type but, not always well with both.....does that make sense? I run my Gibsons into an old Park 50 watter, Marshall 50 watter or Orange OR120. Will your pedal work well in my situation? I like a warm, overdriven sound. Just past the early, break-up stage.
Thank you.

 

Hi

Pleased to meet you noctilux1 ,

Hm, yes I think the HB would work fine in your setup, as fast ricky love says- pleased to meet you too btw.

The key to getting the most dynamic response outof HB is to run amplifier fairly clean or at the brink
of distortion.

HB should be rather smooth and as, a friend, Seegs,
said onto me HB puts a glaze on the notes.....
On most guitar amplifiers this would be noted as smooth but not toothless, just never too bright.
HB does what it does maybe best with humbuckers and
I have done several tests to find something that can predrive HB to make similar results for strats and for this RRB works best of all I have tried - however it still sounds like a strat.....

Thank you for the good words and your interest

Best regards
BJ

 

Love my HB with P90s. The most dynamic, touch sensitive pedal I have ever heard.
