ahum -- new demos of Sweet Honey vs Honeybee are uploading

[Bobby D]

after seeing the Gearmanndude demos of Sweet Honey vs Honeybee, I felt i had to set the record STRAIGHT

he obviously DID NOT understand the difference between the nature knob and the focus knob

anyhow. i have recorded TWO NEW demos with Sweet Honey and Honeybee, and am uploading them now

wow....BOTH sound great......but i am still in love with the HONEYBEE, while just have a friendship with Sweet Honey

Great call Donner.
Part 2 Gave me Cat Scratch Fever.
It's a much more informative demo Bobby D.
Gearmandude's recording didn't show the colours or clarify much
for people who might have assumed the SHOD was simply a Mad Professor version of the Honey Bee.
Things can be similar without being the same.

Your demo shows how different they are- even though in places they can cross paths.
Should be a far better indicator for people who haven't decided which one to get- which of course is both!
Dubloon the pleasure of them thar golden treasures!!!!!
It's ok...I'm walking the plank as we speak.

Hi,

RRRRRR

Thank you,

Well I had different goals

Like this

FOCUS: If you start fully ccw you'd be the closest to HB and as you turn cw you dial in more aggression which makes more distortion particurlarly on the D&G strings which makes this sound easierly played with leads and this is a register that is present in some amps and less present in others and therefore during development I thought this would be of use to control between amplifiers and more so than any other register I could think of with the amplifier backline I had at hand.
On some amps Focus could barely be opened from fully ccw while on others the whole range was useful and yet other amps sound felt more alive with Focus at least halfway up- that's be about noon.
To get as close to HB as possible you'd set Focus at barely open from ccw.
SHOD will still though sound a bit healthier as there are fewer distortions going on

NATURE: I gather most users set this at 10:30 as that gives about unity.....turn this ccw for more distortion in the low registers and a looser feel-this makes a clear note harder to play turn this cw to thin the sound out a bit.

Once at Music toyz Honey Bee created its own myth as there was a demo where a guy played a strat but with a humbucker and he had some distortion........this would not happen with an ordinary strat and because the Honey Bee has its distortion controlled by the input voltage. Rumour had it then that were two Honey Bee versions........
Because with a humbucker there was distortion while with a lowoutput single coil sound was more like an archtop

At shows I have choosen when showing the HB to use a Les Paul since then I can play whisper soft and harder and harder until downwards hard like Johnny Ramone to get people to want to try for themselves.


Have fun
BJ
