I think it helped that quite a few people rallied behind the idea of the MiniVibe coming out, regardless of the poll... Plus, DonneR did say that he was partial to some 'Vibe action...

Anyway, I'm just super stoked that it DID happen. When Bearfoot first launched, I was figuring that the 'Vibe might be the most difficult one to have realized....

You were correct !! It is the most difficult thing in the whole line and of course requires its own PCB and its still giving us trouble :mrgreen: But yes actually the pole and all the feedback has helped a great deal ... there are things in the works that take more time and effort than others and there will be some tweeks and updates as things cross the BearFoot river ....

I just put up some vids on the BF Facebook page that will show a bit of the immiediate future ....

One we have been working on is the Honey Beest - the ST standing for 'stripes' and used in the name as a descriptor ~ ' Beest' ---- it is a pregained HB ---- basically its the Honey Bee Deluxe without the Boost or the trimmer ----- it STARTS where the HB stops --- like having the internal trim on the HBD all the way up which is really good for single coil players that cant easily get enough dirt out of the HB - the HBst will be a limited production for now ....

This I want.
Somehow you read my mind ;)
Sign me up? Seriously this is a must buy for me for sure.

Also -- any way I can change my MINT green minivibe to a Bathtub Blue Minivibe? Love the new custom box!

The Honey Beest is an excellent idea. The HBOD DLX is amazing straight up. With the trimmer all the way clockwise your are in a brand new world of super gain. COUNT ME IN!

Whoa! I thought you were joking about the Honey Beest! Higher gain isn't something I'd want, though... I play single coils and I'd actually not mind less gain from my Honey Bee. Lol. Still, the box is almost enough to make me buy it!

Is there any chance you'd make a Mint Sparkle Mini Vibe? Because that would be AWESOME. It'd make me buy a second MiniVibe sooner than later....

I can't wait for the BeeST Donner! My favorite HBDLX settings were with the internal trim pot maxed out, so this is a must buy for me! :music

Yeah I was just going to ask this too- I got in on the pre-order, but I'd happily wait and pay a little extra if I could get mine switched to the sparkly blue one too. Is that possible?

I think a HB with less drive is the SBEQ :wink:


I may do the mint sparkle sometime , I do like to change up the customshop stuff alot, so people can get something unique ....
