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.

Der Sonic Blue Twanger ist ein weiteres Design aus der Amp-In-A-Box-Serie von One Control und BJF, das den legendären Sound alter Fender Blackface-Verstärker reproduziert. Wie die meisten von BJF entworfenen Pedale von One Control wird der Sonic Blue Twanger in einem superkompakten Gehäuse mit vier einfachen Regelmöglichkeiten geliefert. Der Treble-Regler arbeitet als Tone Balance (wie bei den Originalverstärkern), mit dem ein 'shelved' EQ-Setting verstärkt oder verringert wird. Volume- und Master-Regler arbeiten als Pre und Post Volume, sodass der cleane Headroom und die Verzerrung des Signals variiert werden können. An der Seite des Pedals befindet sich ein Rhythm/Lead Schalter, mit dem zwei Gain-Einstellungen ausgewählt werden können. Im Rhythm-Modus bietet das Pedal 18 dB Gain (-80 dB Noise Level) und im Lead-Modus 40 dB Gain (-74 dB Noise Level). Egal, ob man den Sonic Blue Twanger als Pre-Amp in Kombinationen mit anderen Overdrive oder Distortion Pedalen oder als eigenständigen Effekt verwendet, um einen 'amerikanischeren' Sound zu erzeugen, der Sonic Blue Twanger bringt Gitarristen bei jeder Lautstärke zurück in die 'Blackface-Tage'.

The Sonic Blue Twanger is another design from the Amp-In-A-Box series by One Control and BJF, designed to reproduce the legendary sound of old Fender Blackface amplifiers. Like most of the BJF designed pedals from One Control, the Sonic Blue Twanger comes in a super compact housing with four simple controls. The Treble control is a tone balance (like on the original amplifiers) which increases and decreases a 'shelved' EQ setting. Volume and Master controls work as pre and post volumes allowing to vary the amount of clean headroom and distortion in the signal. On the side of the pedal is a Rhythm/Lead switch to choose between two gain settings. In Rhythm mode, the pedal provides 18 dB gain (-80 dB noise level), and in Lead mode, the pedal provides 40 dB gain (-74 dB noise level). Whether you are using the Sonic Blue Twanger as a preamp with other overdrive or distortion pedals, or as a stand-alone effect to achieve a more American sound, the Sonic Blue Twanger will take you back to the 'blackface' days at any volume.

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.

CRANBERRY OVER DRIVE

Das One Control Jubilee Red ist ein modernes High-Gain Distortion Pedal, das auf den legendären britischen Silver Jubilee-Verstärker aus den 80er Jahren basiert. Mit dem Jubilee Red AIAB haben Gitarristen vollen Zugriff auf die Mitten in ihrem Sound und profitieren wie bei allen One Control Effektpedalen von einem extrem rauscharmen Betrieb. Die Stompbox harmoniert gleich gut mit Humbuckern oder Single Coil Tonabnehmern sowie modernen High-Gain Pickups oder aktiven Schaltungen und hat auch mit dem zusätzlichen Low-End bei 7- oder 8-Saiter Gitarren keine Probleme. Der Mid-Regler kontrolliert die Tiefe des Mitten-Notch, der bei 600 Hz liegt. Dreht man den Regler auf, wird der Notch ausgeglichen und der Frequenzgang linearer. Der Treble-Regler arbeitet als Tone-Balance und kontrolliert das Verhältnis von Höhen und Bässen um den Mitten-Notch mit einem Treble-Shelf bei ungefähr 2 kHz oder einer Betonung der Bässe bei ca. 100 Hz.

The One Control Jubilee Red is a modern high-gain distortion pedal with tonal roots descending from the legendary Silver Jubilee series of British amplifiers that were created in the late 80's. With the Jubilee Red AIAB, guitarists have access to an enhanced midrange control as well as low noise performance. The pedal pairs perfectly with either humbucker or single coil pickups, including more modern high-gain and active designs. It is also very well suited to handle the additional low end of 7 and 8-string guitars. The Mid control sets the depth of the midnotch and it is centered at 600 Hz - the tone control network creates a midnotch, while turning up the Mid knob lessens the notch and flattens the tonal response. The Treble knob is technically a tone-balance that sets the balances of treble and bass points around a midnotch and the treble shelf is about 2 kHz while the bass hump appears around 100 Hz.
