FS: HBOD #10

Postby musicsoma » Mon Sep 15, 2014 3:33 pm

Hi friends,

I am selling a few pedals to cover some unexpected auto expenses. I recently picked up a very early HBOD. It is serial #10 and has a very rare paint job according to Bjorn. I am asking $650 shipped in the US. If you are international and are interested, please contact me, and I will quote additional shipping charges. This is a RARE find.

My email and PayPal are the same: [email protected]

Here is the description from the previously owner:

The best of the best! A BJFE Honey Bee Overdrive - #10! And besides just being super early, it has 2 other interesting features. The first is that the 'Nature' knob is accidentally labeled as 'Tone', and the other is that this HB is hand painted with a beautiful copper-like transparent paint that is almost 3D in quality. And somehow, magically, isn't chipped! Besides the velcro on the bottom of the pedal, it's about as nice as a BJFE can be, especially one this early. I emailed Bjorn about this pedal and this was his response:

"one of seven units made with a paint experiment and those were the first after the initial three that were all painted with a spraygun but all after that have been painted with a brush I may have in my old computer the date this unit was made.
It should have said Nature on this unit as on all Honey Bees except a few that by accident got a different text and actually whenever that happens like once a year I'd let it be because even years after someone might ask about it and sometimes there's a story to tell about a unit."

How does this one compare with your other sub 100s headroom, gain and eq wise?
Thanks,

Darker, lower gain, thick and chewy. :)

I had decided to keep this months ago. However, I just accepted a new job and the family could use the extra funds in the mean time. I am relisting this at $650. If you are interested, email works best. I can be reached at [email protected].

I have never played another HBOD like this one. It does have as much gain as the versions that followed, but it has an EQ I prefer (especially with an ES335 or other humbucker guitars). Rare opportunity to grab a pretty incredible piece of Bjorn's early work.
