Now here's a beautiful handbuilt BJFE Honeybee clone from the highly regarded Handsomerik. It's a cool low to mid gain overdrive. The original is sold for 300 odd quid and this one will cost you a mere £55! I'm selling as I have a couple of similar pedals, one I want to keep and one that's a bit tempramental (unsellable).
Rik's description: Having built over 30 famous boutique circuits this is my favourite, which is why I built a couple of extras though the other spare is now gone to a very happy customer. The sound is wonderful out of this thing and the tone/nature knob is very different to all the other tone out there. It completely changes the character of the sound as well as the tone.
Official blurb:
The Honey Bee sounds and reacts like small vintage combos with nicely worn tubes and speakers.
The Volume control controls the overall volume without changing the distortion.
The Drive control varies the distortion complexity and saturation.
The middle control adjusts the 'nature' of the EQ - begin with this control at straight up 'noon' ~ to the right there is a subtle adjust ment to the upper frequencies with the most treble at full clockwise.
... turning this control counterclockwise from noon adds in lows and changes the distortion saturation interactively with the Drive knob ~ and at full counterclockwise the Honey Bee is fully bloated and saturated like a small combo pushed to its limits.
