both vol on full, neck tone rolled off, bridge tone rolled to around 4

and the BeesT set to

The more I play with it, it really is a 4x12, 50 watt Supro!

And for anyone who might have been curious, no, it does not work well with a bass.

Come to think of it I had a Kay bass amp that was similar to a supro and about 50 watts .... 1x15 tho

Finally had a chance to put the 4 Beest through the paces.
I used a Gibson R7->beest->germino club 40.
Level knob was at 10oclock for the entire session and easily had enough volume with a full band. My initial thoughts......very impressed. I had the 3 knob beest and i really prefer the tweak ability of this guy a lot more. The pregain knob really helps balance the gain and treble w the nature knob down. The gain knob doesn't really do much past noon but honestly there is no need for any more gain out if it otherwise it would be a different pedal altogether. I was getting some compression with all my settings.
I decided to switch to a tele and must admit.... It does sound better to my ears with single coils.

Going to do some more jammin tomorrow and try stacking! Still loving my honey bee more though!

Someone had to check eventually, ya know?

Many a mediocre bass amp has been many an excellent guitar amp as we well know.

Believe it or not, I've actually had really good results using an EGDM on bass. Other than fuzz pedals, it's my favorite "intended for guitar" dirt pedal on bass.
