The fuzz tones were really quite awesome coming from the BEEST. I enjoyed playing it while I had it, but now I want it back. 8)

Good luck, Donner!

Yeah this actually reminds me alot of a favorite stack of mine - CAF on octave with the fuzz down into HB -- but the gain sack and clarity are off a bit .... dont want to clean this mess up too fast :mrgreen:

I remember one of the best delay tones I ever had was this old Arion SAD that was a bit broken and the delays were a bit cracked and screwed with just enough to be annoyingly interesting like a crinkled tape machine ... well I looked at the board itself and noticed some of the traces were a little compromised and I reflowed them with a soldering iron and shazzam! it was healed .... and normal... and boring again :mrgreen:

so yeah thats one reason I wanted to offer to let anyone off the hook that wasnt in an exploring mood --- I wanna dance with this one a few times before healing it and moving forward ~~~ :glasses

So...what do you think of this current voicing compared to the first, and what, if anything specific are you aiming for with the Beest? I take it "boring" would somewhat equate to, a near straight clone of the Deluxe Bee with trim-pot maxed? I can understand mixing it up, if that's the case.

:think: Hmmmm, just HOW do we want our Bee to Bee-have? :mrgreen:
