Title: Superbee!
Post by: G.G. on February 05, 2020, 03:12:00 AM
Hi Folks,
Here's an NPN Superbee I completed recently (except for forgetting I still need to glue in the LED). OC139s from the fine folks at Pedalhacker.

That labeling looks perfect.  How did you do it?

It's just a regular waterslide decal, but I did get a new packet of Papilio decal paper, we have a better printer now, and I managed to line up the decal for a change. So, Harmonic Convergence?  :D

That looks really good. How does it sound?

It sounds pretty good, very smooth. I like these Vox Tonebender variants and this is a good one. I reduced the size of the output cap a little to reduce the low end a bit. It doesn't have quite as much gradual cleanup curve with the guitar volume as the Jack Deville version but there's still a good range of light distortion up to thick fuzz, it's just kind of bunched up at the end of the guitar volume pot rotation. Worth a build-up if you like Tonebenders.
