Honey Beest Unleashed

[cajone5]

Ok looks like we have it solved and all shall soon be righted

turned out to be an unforseen part variance and while being a huge pain in the butt, we learned a few things and I think you will dig the final final Beest ...

I have the first corrected one and it sounds great and Ill torture it and see if I can make it malfunction in anyway but so far so good --- assuming all is well we will correct the other Beests that are here and get them out this weekend.....

This Beest is a higer gain Bee but we backed off the hugely saturated gain so it will still do the 'clean to dirt with pick pressure' effect that the Bee is famous for but as you get up to 10 to 2 oclock on the dirt it is higher distortion and past 2 oclock it moslty just increases the sustain/compression ...... overall the EQ has more headroom and less bass bloat which happens with the Bee when it is pushed or turned up --- so overall you have a more open sounding pedal with more actual distortion and more compression available in the upper ranges ...... sorry, no octave fuzz tones .

Sick! -- looks like mine will be coming back for the fix but not until I get back from out of town -- in Philly until early next week -- Look for it toward the end of next week though!

Glad this all got worked out

Yippee!!! Very good news.

yeah really the Bee / Beest difference is just about like the paintjobs as originally intended --- the Beest is brighter and tighter with more distortion/compression available..... but it still looks like a Bee.

Ahhh...so you flushed the rogue wasp out of the beehive...very nice. Thought he could get away with pulling a Pooh bear disguise just to steal some honey.

I say we pull his stinger out and let him scream his own octave fuzz tones in proper redemption form.

Ha, well I guess the ST could stand for Stinger Tweezed in addition to Sustain/Saturation/Treble and STripes ....

Ok I misspoke , will take the weekend to really check on the voicing of this one - I dont want another back and forth so the Beest swarm launch will be postponed til next week just to be sure ........

Im really diggin the Beest so far --- there is a nice spot on the left side of the nature control where the EQ is favorable to the whole range of strat pickup settings, and with nature and drive at noon the whole range of my Filtertron V is happy - Billy Gibbons needs one of these for his Billy Bo

[Donner]
