2 Introduction & Usage

INTRODUCTION

The Procyon Natural Overdrive is a clone of the BJFe Honey Bee Overdrive, a circuit first released in

2002 that is credited for starting the "low gain overdrive" trend.

The circuit itself is a rather unique overdrive design, incorporating both soft and hard clipping and

utilizing frequency-dependent negative feedback from different points in the circuit, for a result that is

often called "amplike" in tone.

These pedals were handmade in Sweden and were extremely expensive ($300-400 USD), and so in 2011

an agreement was made with BearFoot FX to produce them in the USA for a more reasonable cost.

Bearfoot has also released a number of variants of this basic circuit such as the Model H, Model G,

Honey Beest, Uber Bee, and Sparkling Yellow Overdrive. While each of these circuits are similar, the

Procyon project only supports the standard Honey Bee (both BJFe and BearFoot versions, which have

minor differences).

USAGE

The Procyon has the same control layout as most overdrive or distortion effects:

• Drive controls the gain of the op-amp stage which increases the amount of signal clipping.

• Nature is a very unique tone control, doing two things at once. On one half of the rotation it

affects the amount of bass and changes the gain structure of the circuit. On the other half of the

rotation, it blends in a frequency bypass capacitor on the gain-recovery FET, causing the highs to

be emphasized more. The end result is that you have more bass on one side and more treble on the

other, but the manner of accomplishing this is very different than something like the Big Muff.

• Volume controls the overall output level of the effect.
