Die One Control Hooker's Green Bass Machine bietet einen weiten Dynamik-Bereich, der locker mit klassischen Röhren-Verstärkern mithalten kann. Dabei erhält das Pedal alle klanglichen Nuancen im Sound, die Bassisten mit ihren Fingern erzeugen können. Das breite Spektrum an möglichen Overdrive- und Distortion-Sounds beinhaltet eine schöne, musikalische Kompression, die an alte Transistor-Verstärker erinnert. Die klare, nicht zu scharfe Attack und die dynamische Ansprache überzeugen auch beim schnellen Spiel mit einem Plektrum und selbst Slap-Sounds kommen wunderbar zur Geltung. Für drückende Heavy-Sounds steht zusätzlich ein Trim-Poti zur Verfügung, der den Bass-Bereich im Signal boostet. Die Hooker's Green Bass Machine bietet eigentlich mehr als genügend Low End, aber wenn es etwas mehr sein soll, hat man mit dem Trim-Poti alle Möglichkeiten. Der Treble-Regler hat einen vergleichsweise eingeschränkten Regelbereich. Da moderne Bass-Verstärker mit sehr leistungsfähigen EQs ausgestattet sind liegt der Fokus hier bewusst auf einer sehr feinfühligen Feinanpassung des Sounds. Natürlich harmoniert die Hooker's Green Bass Machine auch ohne Probleme mit einer Gitarre.

The One Control Hooker's Green Bass Machine has a dynamic range as wide as a bass tube amp and picks up all the subtle expressions that bassists create with their fingers. Transitions between clean and distorted sounds are smooth and it creates a gorgeous but stable compression tone like an old transistor amp when you increase the distortion. It won't miss any finger touches and accurately produces any groove from blues, fusion, or hard rock to metal. Its moderately sharp attack and clear sounding keys do not decrease the speed realized by picking. With slapping, percussive chunks of sound by thumbing pop up, and sound created by pulling can be maintained and kept stable. The ability to freely control distortion enables you to play in a relaxed and comfortable way. For heavy tracks using a multi-string bass, the Low trim pot on the side does its job. The OC Hooker's Green Bass Machine has enough low-end, but if it's not enough, adjust the trim pot to unlock even more low-end. The Treble knob has a limited range to allow subtle adjustment. Many music venues and studios have modern bass amps equipped with powerful EQ and basic bass sound is created using that. What is required for an overdrive pedal is delicate sensory adjustment that is impossible with amp EQ. This pedal can also be used as an overdrive pedal when paired with a guitar.

One Control Hooker's Green Bass Machine & Sonic Silver Peg - Review by Gitarre& Bass [DE], [11-2020]

Hooker's Green Bass Machine

Das One Control Silver Bee OD bringt neuen Schwung in das Rennen der schönsten Low-Gain Overdrive Pedale. Basierend auf dem beliebten Honey Bee OD Design präsentiert Bjorn Juhl mit dem Silver Bee OD ein Pedal, das sich klanglich an den beliebten, amerikanischen Combos mit der silbernen Front orientiert und mit schimmernden Höhen einen schönen Break Up-Sound erzeugt. Während das Honey Bee eine sehr betonte, fokussierte Midrange bietet, kommt das Silver Bee OD mit einem tighten, sehr modernen Sound, der vor allem durch brillante Höhen, eine 'scharfe' Ansprache und eine subtile, Amp-ähnliche Verzerrung definiert wird. Das Effektpedal reagiert dynamisch auf den Volume-Regler der Gitarre und die Pick Attack und bietet neben den bekannten Regelmöglichkeiten für Volume und Drive einen nützlichen 2-Band EQ. Wie das Honey Bee OD lässt sich das Silver Bee OD perfekt für Gain-Stacking verwenden: Egal, ob man den Haupt-Verzerrer mit etwas Schimmer und Gain für das Solo pushen möchte, das Front-End des Pedals mit einem anderen Pre-Amp Pedal 'anschiebt' oder mit weiteren Fuzz oder Distortion Effekten kombiniert - das Silver Bee OD bietet alle Voraussetzungen für ein klassisches 'Always-On' Pedal in jedem denkbaren Setup.

The One Control Silver Bee OD takes players for a fresh spin around the low-gain overdrive race track. Drawing from his very sought-after Honey Bee OD design, Juhl conceived the Silver Bee to excel at capturing that 'on the edge' sound, with shimmering treble just on the brink of distortion, reminiscent of classic American 'silvery' combo amps. Where the Honey Bee has a very prominent mid focus and a rich, syrupy haze of low-gain goodness, its new silver sibling has a tighter, more modern overall sound, flying along with sparkling highs, razor sharp edges, and sweet, subtly-distorted amp-like tones. Like the Honey Bee, Silver Bee offers hugely dynamic breakup, with the amount of overdrive highly controllable by the player's hand. Featuring Volume and Drive controls, as well as as a highly controllable 2-band EQ, Silver Bee caters to players who appreciate the rawness and shimmering presence of a tube amp on the brink of full breakup, and those who enjoy using various preamp and distortion-style boxes to stack their pedals. Whether you use it to kick your main drive pedal into full-on solo mode by adding just a touch of gain and high-end shimmer, or pummel the front end of this Bee with your own favorite preamp or overdrive to send it buzzing into an otherworldly overdrive of your own, or simply employ it as an 'always on' pedal, the Silver Bee brings a new sting your tone.

Das One Control Strawberry Red ist ein flexibles Overdrive Pedal, das sich mit praktisch jedem denkbaren Verstärker kombinieren lässt und 'den' Overdrive-Sound bietet, den eigentlich alle Gitarristen suchen. Egal, ob man nach einem natürlichen, fast cleanen High-End Amp-Sound oder nach einem satten Break-Up Overdrive an der Grenze zur Distortion sucht - das klassische Overdrive von Bjorn Juhl ist die richtige Wahl! Das Strawberry Red OD reagiert extrem feinfühlig und dynamisch um die besten Eigenschaften des eigenen Equipments und jede Nuance im Spiel bestmöglich zu betonen. Über den vielseitigen Treble-Regler und den seitlichen Low Trim-Poti lässt sich der Sound präzise verändern und der Drive-Regler bietet ein breites Spektrum an möglichen Dirt-Styles. Lässt man den Drive-Regler auf dem Minimum und dreht den Volume-Regler voll auf, erzeugt das Pedal einen +6 dB Clean Boost. In Kombination mit einem Röhren-Verstärker betont das Pedal die positiven Eigenschaften des Amps und bietet einen traumhaften Drive-Sound. Egal, ob man bei britischen Verstärkern das Potential der Klangregelung erweitern möchte, bei amerikanischen Verstärkern nach einer kräftigen Verzerrung mit balancierten Regelmöglichkeiten für Tone und Level sucht oder moderne High-Gain Amps durch gezieltes Gain-Stacking in die Sättigung bringen will - das Strawberry Red OD macht überall eine gute Figur und hilft sogar dabei, einen natürlichen Röhren-Sound mit einem Transistor-Verstärker zu realisieren.

The One Control Strawberry Red is a versatile overdrive pedal that pairs with any amp and creates 'the' sought-after overdrive sound guitarists are looking for. Whether you are looking for a clean, high-end guitar amp-like sound or an edgy, highly distorted sound, this classic BJF overdrive pedal does it all. The Strawberry Red OD reacts highly responsive and highly dynamic to highlight the best of attributes of your equipment and every nuance of the played signal. The versatile Treble control and the Low trim potentiometer on the side allow a precise adjustment of the sound while the Drive control offers a wide range of possible dirt styles. If you keep the Drive at the minimum level and increase the Volume knob, it becomes a clean booster at +6 dB. If the Strawberry Red Overdrive is used with a tube amp, you can emphasize the benefit of the amp even further and attain the ultimate drive you're looking for. You can use the pedal with British style amps to expand the potential of the amp EQ, you can produce a powerful distortion with balanced Level and Tone controls with American amps, use it with modern high-gain amps for tight gain-stacking drive and distortion or the Strawberry Red will even help you to recreate that high quality tube amp tone when you use it with a transistor amp.

Strawberry Red Overdrive

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.
