Wow.

just wow...I have wanted one for what seems like an eternity...ever since it was released and people on the Musictoyz forum would go on about it.

Somehow I never bought one...until today...I managed to score an of the first 100 made.

I am just blown away by the dynamics of the pedal...it really is as good as people say it is, and it stacks incredibly well with my Model H.

Oddly enough, while people say that it is best to go MH > HB, I found that HB > MH sounded way better to me. Also stacking it with my silver Klon send it into Neil Young territory...such a great dynamic sound.

what a pedal!

Great score!

I've got #005 Honey Bee, that has been in my board since 2002.
What's your HB's serial number?

Hey thanks!

my serial is #078, so still pretty early, but not as early as yours!!

what amp do you run it through?

It is such an awesome pedal, I am just totally floored by how good it is...it plays well with my silver Klon, and my BJFE 4K Model H.

I pulled the trigger on a 5K Model D this evening...can't wait to see how it stacks with the Bee!

I know the early HBOD's are said to be different than the modern ones. Can you get a new HBOD that will sound exactly like the earlier ones? Or did the first ones use parts that are now gone/scarce/hard to find?

My understanding is that the newer HBs have been modded a bit along the way to get to their current state, so the only way to get the "early sound" is to get one of the first 100 or so made.
