One Control / Honey Bee OD 4K Mini Custom

The One Control Honey Bee OD 4K Mini Custom is a custom version of the legendary BJFE Honey Bee OD overdrive pedal, which laid the foundation for today's amp-like pedals.

The Honey Bee OD 4K Mini Standard reproduces the original Honey Bee OD sound, but the Custom is a limited custom version with more gain and a thicker tone, mainly in the low-mid range.

It has four knobs for more precise tonal control, and the B and T knobs provide separate and accurate control of the low and high frequencies.
In addition, the miniature size allows it to be installed on different pedalboards without taking up too much space.
BJF's years of research have made reproducing the original tone possible, even with mini-sized SMD parts.
Mini pedals are designed differently from conventional handmade pedals that use through-hole parts. Mini pedals are affected by "coast components" that do not exist as "parts" and do not appear in the circuit, so the sound will be different if the same schematic is used.
BJF has considered all influences, from the characteristics of the parts to the ghost component, to recreate the sound of the original BJFE pedal.

It is the perfect overdrive pedal for electric guitars and guitar amps set at about clean to crunch and works best with other effects and distorted amps to create a fat, warm, overdrive character.
In particular, its dynamics can be easily adjusted from clean to overdrive with the touch of a hand. Its overwhelming response has an old small amp's headroom and frequency response, making it sound like it was recorded with a small amp, even with a big one.
When connected to a clean amp, picking, and guitar volume can enhance expression with tone. For example, flat strings give a mellow tone, while round lines give an old-style light distortion.
Pushing a lightly distorted amp will reveal the characteristic overtone distortion of the combo amp. The tone is powerful, as if strongly distorted, even though the actual gain is not set high. In other words, it simultaneously delivers the power of a drive tone with increased gain while maintaining its core and penetrating power.
It can also be connected just before the amp and used like a preamp pedal that adjusts the overall tone and creates a soft response and a characteristic that lifts the low mid slightly.

■Controls
V (VOLUME): Adjust the overall volume; try starting the tone adjustment around noon.
D (DRIVE): Adjusts the intensity of distortion; at around noon, you can control the distortion by applying a stronger or weaker picking action.
B (BASS): Adjusts the low-frequency range of the tone.
T (TREBLE): Adjusts the high-frequency range of the tone.
MODERN/VINTAGE: Switches between a custom early Honey Bee OD sound (VINTAGE) and a current Honey Bee OD sound (MODERN).
