Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive VS Bjfe Honey Bee guitar effects pedal shootout demo 

thanks for the great demo. both are great sounding but the sweet honey took away the natural sound of the guitar to give it a more fuller but slightly processed sound. the honey bee was quieter but more pleasing to my ears, a little more clear and defined from string to string, peace, rich

great demo/comparison video. i like the honeybee better with single coils. but that SHOD is just RAGING with humbuggies... RAWK!

so the best is both pedals together it seems,best of both worlds,dude...

That SHOD has "I Don't Need No Doctor" screaming from it. Perfect with the Les Paul.

Sweet Honey by Mad Professor wins the day!

Stacking these low gain pedals sure does sound great.

i just recieved my sweet honey today and it's exactly what i wanted for a low gain pedal that doesn't sound all shity when you play complex chords.. great for the funky type shit.

Sounds like the SHOD is way more "open"! Sounds great! The honey Bee is a classic though.

@yjmsrv yes! great idea...b/c everyone uses the same reverb and we'd definitely know what the pedal sounds like if reverb was on...i get what you're saying, but thats the point of a demo to hear that pedal and ONLY that pedal...i don't want 23 other effects running while i'm trying to hear this pedal...thats why people like GMD, Andy @ PGS, and burgermann are so popular...b/c they know how to do these demos right

Mad professor is the one I'd take! It's awesome.

That les paul looks great!

i'd like to see a vid were gearmandude tells us his top 10 pedals out of all the thousands he's played.

I don't think he's talking about demos in general...I think he means to bring out the best in these pedals...at least to his tastes.

I would use 1 additional condenser mic to capture the room. It will bring some life to the sound without adding any reverb.

Dear GMD, what is the difference between the fire red fuzz and the candy apple fuzz?

The best segment of overdrive comes at 8.03 directly after Yip.

The volume differences on these pedals ruined the demo. Louder volume gets perceived as better tone. A lot like those Visual Sound demos.

I've bought and sold 3 Honey Bee's. In this video comparison I'd say the SHOD just stung the HBOD. SHOD sounds much better to my ears.

What guitar and amp combinations do you feel would be more appropriate and why?

@yjmsrv no, If you play live, Reverb do suck some times. Use the natural sounding.

hey, could u compare sweet honey mad prof v.s. mi audio blues pro?

sounds like a pedal that would be good for flirtin with disaster man awesome pedals ss72

Who needs reverb for a overdrive pedal review anyway? I like the SHOD more 'cause it has more midrange detail and bite.

Reverb is awesome if you know which, when or how to use it. The Honey Bee is WAYYYYYY too fucking low in output, huge amount of compression, but nice knee ( compression) on the lower mids - so the 4th -5th string bended notes bloom.

yes all demos on youtube should be done with a gibson les paul with single coil pickups and use a crate solid state amp. every one knows that.

For a gear demo, I wanna hear a dry sound that showcases the sound of the pedal I might spend some hard earned cash on. Reverb can enhance your sound in the right context, just like any effect can, but this is not it. @JackOrion0670 Throw some reverb on, then you have the same dime a dozen rock licks... with reverb.

Reverb does not suck.

i dont dig either of them to be honest, but to me the sweet honey sounds better

@rexasul amen...i guess some people don't understand the POINT of these demos

also you should compare crybaby classic and hendrix CB

reverb is great in the right situations..but you get a better idea of what the pedal sounds like without any added effects..

single coils dont come in les pauls, except for p90's which are just two single coils on top of each other, which is pretty much a sideways humbucker.

Sweet Honey for sure... Warmer, thicker, thumpier..... Ok, ballsier....gutzier.... ;)

Those are the newer p-100s. A real p-90 is a single coil.

i build sweet honey clones with a added toggle switch for stock or more gain. i can also do them with a active eq

The Professor killed the bee!

Mad prof !

Because this is actually true. Reverb is covering the poor sound. If something sounds great without the reverb, then it's just true...

Or just have him show us his actual pedal board... what does he use when he is just playing out and not demoing.

We want Metal, We want Metal:) Sorry dude, couldn't resistXD

Mad Professor. Way better mid range response.

Lol, Awesome Tones, Thanks Germanndude :p .

Sweet Honey sounds godly at 3:50

"Because reverb sucks". Actually, I think that is the only thing I hate about GMD's gear demos, to flat, dry and dead sounding. He needs reverb something fierce. Not tons of surf reverb, just enough to sound like he's in a room, not a box! Gear Mann Dude, get over your reverb phobia, it's killin' your tone on every gear demo you have!

Everything sucks if you don't know how to use it. I must admit, for all these dirtboxes GMD reviews reverb isn't as sweet as with a clean sound.

:53 to 1:05

Both the Same！

SWEET HONEY - gain sounds slightly grittier at less than 50% HONEY BEE - sounds smoother ***like always, it depends on what other gear you're using, how all of your gear complements/works against each other, what sound you're looking for, how it feels, and what you're willing to pay.***

hahahaha 8:03

Reverb sucks? Tell that to Ry Cooder. I guess if your into soulless run of the mill dime a dozen rock licks then reverb may not be your thing. To each is his own I suppose. Cheers!

neither.

No. Reverb is for hack guitarists and sound engineers to use on recordings.

Reverb does suck...

reverb sucks ? I think NOT gear man dude !

haha : "why????? because THE REVERB SUCKS"

reverb does indeed suck!

Wrong amp and wrong guitar for these pedals. The Sweet Honey doesn't excel in anything, is just another OD pedal. The Honey Bee is unique, is for the few clever guys who like saggy and warm distortion. Also the sweet honey is louder and you may be influenced a lot by that...

REVERB SUCKS!!!

as nice as both pedals are, not worth the 300+ price tag.
