FAQ

Description
As time went on, the Honey Bee OD underwent gradual changes in its sound due to unavoidable parts modifications and user requests.
While there are no differences in tonal characteristics, pedal features, or specifications, the current HBOD has a slightly more energetic and vibrant sound compared to when it was first released in 2002.
The Honey Bee OD Retro is a pedal that recreates the sound of the original HBOD released in 2002.
There are plenty of warm and mild overdrive pedals out there, but there are hardly any other pedals that sound like the HBOD.
It works perfectly when combined with other effects and distorted amps, creating a thick, warm overdrive character.
Another major feature is the dynamics, which can be easily adjusted from clean to overdrive with just a touch of your finger.
The HBOD is an overdrive pedal characterized by its overwhelmingly dynamic response, even within a pedal system. It offers headroom and frequency response reminiscent of a small, old amplifier, allowing you to achieve a tone similar to that of a recording made with a small amp, even with a large amplifier. Furthermore, it can be optimally positioned within a complex pedal system.
The Drive knob might seem to have little effect on its own. You'll feel its dynamics if you set it to 12 o'clock and strum the strings hard.
The Nature knob adjusts the frequency range of the distortion. Turning it counterclockwise strengthens the low frequencies and low-mids, while turning it clockwise results in a softer output. Try setting this control around the 12 o'clock position. Usually, turning it slightly counterclockwise from there will give you a good balance for your guitar sound.
The Vol knob adjusts the volume balance between effect ON and OFF. Start by setting it to 12 o'clock, and then adjust the tone from there.
One example of using the HBOD is to connect it to a clean amplifier and add clarity or distortion to the tone depending on the strength of your picking. With flatwound strings, you can get a mellow tone, while with roundwound strings, you can get a light, old-style distortion.
