Description

Okhtyrka Honey Bee takes the legendary low/mid gain overdrive of the BJF Honey Bee and elevates it with our own refinements, giving you even more expressive control and versatility. The Pete Cornish-style input buffer, featuring a NOS KT3102 transistor, ensures your guitar's natural tone remains clear and dynamic, even in the most complex pedalboards. Our enhanced clipping section, featuring a smoother op-amp stage and a unique Germanium + LED combo, delivers distinctive, touch-sensitive drive tones that respond to your playing. The rare NOS MAC157 op-amp by Tesla (their take on the CA3130) and the fine-tuned J113 FET stage offer both warmth and clarity. With the dedicated mode switch, you can easily tailor your sound: the upper position provides your playing with more low-end depth, while the lower position offers focused, tight tones with a strong low-pass filter. The result is a smooth, dynamic overdrive pedal that perfectly adapts to your rig, playing style, and genre needs.
