You can buy tone in Dallas? I’m on my way, my fingers need a top up.

This is the one you had on the chat, right? I can’t believe the difference changing the pickguard makes. I’m liking it, definitely different.

I like it a lot actually. I wasn’t expecting to keep it on my band pedalboard when I bought it but it’s really working for me. It’s one of those pedals I’ve always wanted to try but never did. A few months ago he put out 20 new Honey Bee pedals on the Bearfoot reverb page to celebrate the 20th Anni...

60s/70s Japanese Tele shaped object. A pal has one under the Zenta name.

In terms of sound, yes. That point of view doesn't put any value on design and development though, and often ends up with brands just copying each other to the detriment of moving things forward.

I've never done one for amps or pedals, but I've got one for guitars - it's long though. I'll try and dig it out.

Tone air.

Mickie, what did you grab for yourself from your visit to Eastman?

What do you think of the Honey Bee Thom? I’ve got one in a double pedal with a Sparkle Drive that Mike did for me a few years back.

Bees wax is important to get good tone from your bee string.

But what if I want good tone from my G string?

Some folks use straight paraffin wax some a mix of paraffin and bee’s wax. It’s best to suspend the pickup in the wax until bubbles stop coming out. I’ve never potted a pickup but I’ve watched a ton of videos and bought a 2nd hand mini-crock pot for the future. My brain read that as mini crack pot
