What is considered the cutoff between v.1 and v.2 of the Honey Bees?

Does v.2 literally start at #101 ?

I've got #147 and am trying to figure out exactly where it fits in the picture.

I cannot remember the exact number, but I remember reading about it in a past thread here.

Maybe do a quick search? I am pretty sure the number is on the forum, my HB is #078 :)

Yes, the details are somewhere on the forum. I think it was later than 147. I have had four different honeybees over the years and they have all sounded different!

Hi There,

as I recall it was about #147 and it was a forum member Dannyboy that came to my workshop and asked if I could make a Honey Bee with more treble.
Dannyboy and another guy also started the myspace page for Honey Bee.

I changed then what happens at full cw on Nature control so that it instead of cutting treble- actually it nulled a filter that bostad treble by 3dB but at full cw boosting was defeated.
Instead I wired another treble boost function by bypassing a source on an internal transistor and then limited the range by ear to something that gave a mild treble boost without altering sound.

I think the whole story should be on this forum
