Honey Bee OD 4K:

The Honey Bee OD 4K overdrive pedal is a faithful evolution of the legendary BJFE Honey Bee model, now reimagined with four control knobs for a deeper tonal range. This model maintains BJFE’s hallmark soft texture, while delivering a clear and controlled tone that stands out, particularly in ensemble settings. The Honey Bee OD 4K offers both nuanced expression when connected to a clean amp and a powerful overdrive when paired with a slightly distorted amplifier.

 

Key Tonal Characteristics:

• Flexible Tone Expression: Connect to a clean amplifier to bring out subtleties through your guitar’s volume and picking dynamics. Achieve a mellow tone with flat strings and vintage-style light distortion with round strings.

• Dynamic Overdrive Response: Pair with a mildly distorted amp to access the classic, resonant distortion reminiscent of a combo amplifier. This pedal brings out the best of your sound, blending depth and clarity with a strong core.

• Versatile Uses: The Honey Bee OD 4K can serve as a distortion effect or a pre-amplifier pedal, adjusting the tone to a warm response while enhancing low-mid frequencies.

 

Controls:

• V Volume: Adjusts the overall output volume. Start at the 12 o clock position for a balanced tone.

• D Drive: Controls the level of distortion. At 12 o clock, you can vary distortion by altering your picking strength.

• B Bass: Allows precise adjustment of low-end frequencies for a fuller tone.

• T Treble: Fine-tunes the high-end pitch, allowing you to shape the top end of your sound.
