OVERDRIVE- CALINE CP-503 Queen Bee... old style hardclipper that started with the Rat & Boss DS-1

$45.00 USD

 CALINE CP-503 QUEEN BEE OVERDRIVE 
 The Caline Blue Sky is still being called a Timmy but not a good one ...when in fact it is a perfect copy ...yes dead on knock off of the $475 Vemuram Jan Ray.
This one is just new and getting labeled a Fulltone Queen Bee. It is in the ballpark sound wise but for one thing Caline do not tend to ever be that obvious. I am convinced it is the 12 year old contemporary classic ...the T-Rex Mudhoney.
I even put it side by side with the infamous King of Tone and when the KOT is stacked with one side boosting the other the similarity is undeniable.
CONCLUSION
It is a very good medium gain old style hardclipper OD pedal. Not unlike the first OpAmp pedal the Boss OD-1 and a few others less noteworthy. If it does not fill in a missing spot in my sound it certainly fills in some cracks :-)

  1. I read that It sounds quite the same as the Mad Professor Sweet Honey. According to you, which one is the best between the Joyo sweet baby, Caline queen Bee and Mad Professor Sweet Honey?
