The One Control Silver Bee OD 4K Mini is a version customized by BJF himself based on his legendary pedal, the Honey Bee OD.

Now that we have created it in the mini format, it can be installed on various pedal boards without taking up too much space. And after many years of research by BJF himself, it became possible to reproduce the original tone even with mini-sized SMD parts.

The design method is different between conventional handmade pedals that use through-hole parts and mini pedals. Because there is the influence of "ghost components" that do not exist as "parts" in mini pedals and do not appear in the circuit, the sound will be different if you simply make it with the same schematic.
BJF reproduced the sound of the BJFE original pedal, taking into account all the effects from the different characteristics of the parts to the ghost components.
Once the sound was completely satisfactory to BJF himself, we were able to release the Silver Bee in a mini size. And to take it to the next level, we also used BJFE's style for pedal design graphics.

The dynamic range response can be easily adjusted from clean to overdrive with the touch of your hand, which is also a characteristic of Honey Bee OD, and a tone that feels familiar as if there is a classic combo amplifier in front of you. It’s a tighter, slightly brighter tone with a firmer low end.

The flat low end and the tone of the sharp and airy top end are reminiscent of the best characteristics of the American-style combo amplifier. Despite the thick presence, the SBOD 4K Mini has a glittering tone that puts you in front of the mix. The tone also has enough flexibility to reduce gain and be used as an “always on” pedal.

While it is the same gain range as Honey Bee OD, it has the best tone for more modern rock/blues/altcountry, creating a large modern to reissue American amplifier tone, whether you are using single coils or humbuckers..

The 2-band equalizer on the SBOD 4K Mini is widely controllable and allows you to easily control the tone to adapt to various guitars and amps.
The T-knob can control the brightness, high-frequency and harmonic components of the tone, creating a drive tone with a beautiful metallic sound.
The B-knob is centered on the low mid, a critical frequency that gives the ability to adjust your tone according to the characteristics of the stage, the amplifier, and guitar.

Highly responsive overdrives sometimes feel difficult to use, but the Silver Bee OD 4K Mini has a solid presence in the sound itself, so it's easy to play with high dynamic response. It combines the expressive ability to freely control the tone with your hands and fingers, as well as sharp articulation and sense of speed.

And there is a VINTAGE/MODERN switch under the Output terminal. This is a switch that switches the response of the whole sound, especially near the low frequencies.

Originally, it was a switch to switch between the current sound of Honey Bee OD, which became the base circuit of the Silver Bee OD, and the earliest sound. Silver Bee OD was already based on "modern" HBOD when it was first developed as a circuit, so we gave you the option to switch to the earlier style circuit, with slightly more sag and a shift in the low mid frequencies.

This switch is a very subtle tonal change, and you may feel that the sound does not change at all depending on the guitar or amplifier you use. However, you can make the whole tone a little thicker or a little cleaner.

Die TORNADO Fx Produktlinie von One Control stellt den Höhepunkt in der Entwicklung des Overdrive Effekts dar. Der TORNADO Drive Brass ist ein Overdrive-Pedal, das unter der Aufsicht von Mr. TK (Ling Tosite Sigure) nach dem Austausch verschiedener Ideen und Meinungen entwickelt wurde. Es ist die Krönung des Overdrive als Effektpedal und ein Pedal, das den von TK gewünschten Sound erzeugt. Die ersten Prototypen wurden mehrere Jahre lang bei TKs Live-Auftritten verwendet, und sowohl Bjorn Juhl als auch TK nahmen Anpassungen vor, die auf dem Sound und dem Gefühl des Pedals auf der Bühne basierten. Der Ton ist dick und dreidimensional, kann aber auch fein und raffiniert sein. Trotz hoher Gain Reserven und unterstützendem Sustain besitzt die tonale Gestaltung stets viel Klarheit, um auch komplexe Akkorde transparent darzustellen. Das Gehäuse ist aus massivem Messing gefertigt. Außerdem gibt es im Vergleich zum Aluminium-Modell einige Unterschiede bei den Bauteilwerten in der Schaltung. Des Weiteren verfügt das TORNADO Brass Modell über zwei spezielle Trimmpotis an der Seite des Pedals, um die High-Treble und Mid-Range Feinabstimmung des Pedals in Bezug zum verwendeten Equipment und der Bühnenumgebung zu gewährleisten. TORNADO Drive Brass ist das Spitzenmodell unter den Overdrives, hergestellt mit einem luxuriösen Gehäuse und Komponenten, die genau den Ton und das Gefühl vermitteln, das TK verlangt. Es ist ein Overdrive-Pedal der Spitzenklasse für Gitarristen von heute, die den bestmöglichen Sound suchen.

The TORNADO Fx product line from One Control represents the pinnacle in the development of the overdrive effect. The TORNADO Drive Brass is an overdrive pedal developed under the supervision of Mr. TK (Ling Tosite Sigure) after exchanging various ideas and opinions. It is the culmination of overdrive as an effect pedal and a pedal that produces the sound TK wanted. The first prototypes were used for several years at TK's live performances, and both Bjorn Juhl and TK made adjustments based on the sound and feel of the pedal on stage. The tone is thick and three-dimensional, but can also be subtle and refined. Despite high gain reserves and supportive sustain, the tonal design always has plenty of clarity to make even complex chords transparent. The housing is made of solid brass. In addition, there are some differences in the component values in the circuitry compared to the aluminium model. Furthermore, the TORNADO Brass model has two special trim pots on the side of the pedal to ensure the high-treble and mid-range fine-tuning of the pedal in relation to the equipment used and the stage environment. TORNADO Drive Brass is the top-of- the-line overdrive pedal, made with a luxurious housing and components that deliver exactly the tone and feel that TK demands. It is a top-of-the-line overdrive pedal for today's guitarists seeking the best possible sound.

Mit dem One Control MIDI-Dual-Stereo-Loop (MDSL) der Minimal Series bietet One Control dem Spieler eine einfache MIDI-Loop-Funktionalität, perfekt geeignet für kleine Pedalboards sowie für große Effektsysteme. Mono und Stereo-Signale können variabel verarbeitet werden. Es besteht z.B. die Möglichkeit Mono-Signale in Stereo-Signale umzuwandeln (Dual-Mono-Betrieb) und sie an Stereo-Effekte zu senden. Der One Control MIDI-Dual-Stereo-Loop kann zwischen 1-8 MIDI-Kanäle nutzen, um Steuersignale zu empfangen, und die beiden Effektschleifen über MIDI PC oder CC ein- und ausschalten.

With the One Control MIDI Dual Stereo Loop (MDSL) of the Minimal Series, One Control offers the player a simple MIDI loop functionality, perfectly suited for small pedalboards as well as for large effects systems. Mono and stereo signals can be processed variably. For example, it is possible to convert mono signals into stereo signals (dual-mono operation) and send them to stereo effects. The One Control MIDI dual stereo loop can use between 1-8 MIDI channels to receive control signals and switch the two effect loops on and off via MIDI PC or CC.

Das Strawberry Red Overdrive ist eines der am häufigsten verkauften Effektpedale der BJF Series, aus diesem Grund haben sich Bjorn Juhl und One Control entschieden das Konzept mit zwei zusätzlichen Pedalen weiter auszubauen: Dem Cranberry und dem Lingonberry. Das One Control Cranberry OverDrive ist eine Low-Gain Version des Strawberry Red OD. Neben einem verbesserten Regelbereich speziell für Sounds mit weniger Gain wurde das Voicing des Pedals gradliniger gestaltet. Das Cranberry OD eignet sich perfekt für cleane oder leicht übersteuerte Sounds und ist mit einer moderaten Kompression und einer schnellen Ansprache ein toller Lead Boost für jedes Genre.

It is safe to say that the Strawberry Red Overdrive is one of the bestselling BJF Series effects pedals. For this reason, Bjorn Juhl and One Control decided to expand on this models success with two other models: The Cranberry and Lingonberry. The One Control Cranberry OverDrive is a lower gain version of the Strawberry Red OD. In addition to having optimized control over lower gain sounds, the filtering has been altered to allow a flatter sound with more lows and highs. The Cranberry OD is perfect for clean or light distortion effects and with moderate compression and fast response, this pedal promises a superb lead boost for any genre of music.
