[/quote]Yep, definitely close enough in sound to be accounted for by pot tolerances.[quote]
I think i read that differently then you meant it, or not....

Pot tolerances, indeed???

Oh, sorry for any confusion, i just meant that they sounded very close to one another. Close enough that I was thinking that the tolerances in the part values probably account for any difference in sound heard. I hope that made sense. I was just trying to say that the Bearfoot HoneyBee is legit!

Just sounds like pot values may have influenced the decisions in designing and manufacturing the honey bees. Gotta watch out for the beer values too!

Did you find an EGDM?

I think everyone got it... Just a little word play is all. Maybe some folks have higher tolerance for pot tolerances than others :crazy:

Oh...I get it... Pot tolerance :mrgreen:

Sorry, I'm slow. Probably all the pot tolerance... :laughing7

All right so here is the answer as to which Bee was which in my clip:

Bearfoot was first, followed by the BJFe

Disclaimer: No Bears or Bees were harmed in the recording of this clip!

The BJFe is from a batch that Bjorn did a year ago, so it is of recent vintage.

The votes on the forums were almost evenly split between the two, which proves that the Bearfoot is about as close to the BJFe as you're going to get!

I start out with one of the pedals and strum an A chord. Then I play a little melody. Then I play an ascending chromatic chord pattern and come back to the A.

You'll hear me say "Two!" and then I run through the same pattern again with the second pedal

Guess which is the BJFe, and which is the Bearfoot- answers forthcoming tomorrow:

So my HBOD has arrived but my girlfriend is in town so I won't have a chance to test drive it until some time next week

However, based purely on the fact that I liked #2 better in the sound clip I'll say that was the BJF, although they do sound like the same pedal just with the drive knob turned up and maybe the nature down slightly on clip 2 compared to 1. So I'll say...

#1 BearFoot
#2 BJFe

But to be fair I feel like I can get both of those sounds out of my BJF so it's starting to look like Donner and Bjorn haven't been blowing any smoke up our So I'm glad my optimistic thoughts have been confirmed. Great work Donner/BJ
