One Control Honey Bee OD - Overdrive

Wonderful Supro Overdrive Sound

I was looking for a basic tubescreamer-style overdrive and ordered this one as well, as I'd heard good things about it. I was only planning on keeping 1 pedal, but I couldn't resist and kept this one as well (the other one was the JAM TubeDreamer). The Honey Bee sounds like a Supro. It's a wonderful, creamy overdrive tone that gets very growly when you up the gain. It's got a drive pot, a volume pot, and a 'nature' pot which colours your tone through frequency adjustment. The nature control isn't a filter or standard 'tone' knob, I'm not sure what's going on exactly but it sounds awesome. This thing can go from a soft purr to some real crunch. It does lose some dynamic range at higher gain levels, though. The vintage/modern switch gives you a slightly different sound as well. Not necessary, but why not? Overall I'd recommend checking out this pedal if you're looking for a boost and/or a pleasant overdrive pedal that isn't a Klone, a Tubescreamer, a Rat or an OD-1.
