Ok, I got this pedal, Son of a Bee #7, a while ago and it has kicked all the other dirts of my board, sad to say but also glad to say. It's a modified clone of this old roland bee baa fuzz I believe, which was pretty sweet but the addition of a mid knob really adds to it's overall performance. I first plugged this in, and was like "Aw man this thing is wimpy" cuz it sounded like a zvex fuzz factory y'know blistery-all-treble-gross fuzz, (which may have been from my very bright eq setting to be fair) but i rolled up the volume knob to 1 o' clock and it turned into the fuzziest fuzz pedal EVAR. It was like bss bzz bsss bssssssewww, then DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA DWEEDLEEDWEEDLEEDWEDDLEWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not exactly like that, but you understand what I'm getting at. It's THICK. To get low gain tones you'll need to back off your volume knob on your guitar, since this is one extreme box! This pedal seems to be aimed at one specific sound, you'll always get a good sound from it, no matter where the mid, tone, and gain are. Like, the tone and gain don't do a HUGE amount but they will give you the specific sound you are looking for if that makes sense. So you won't go from one extreme to another, you have this fairly big nook that you can use to sculpt the sound very specifically.

So, I'm not very good at writing reviews but I want to tell you that this pedal is insanely awesome. There is only one or two other reviews out there, and i could only find one clip but don't let that discourage you from checking it out. The price is right, and the pedal is

sounds awesome! almost got a bee baa clone myself awhile back, it was like a modded boss phaser or somethin weird like that.

Interesting, but you may be thinking of the roland jet phaser, which was a fuzz/phaser.
The Bee Baa is a fuzz/treble booster.

you may be right, im pretty sure the person was touting it as a bee baa clone tho....maybe he was just using that enclosure? i have no idea.

Well, isn't someone on ILF an expert on old pedals? She/he can come clear this up.

I have one of these (Matt's prototype, serial number 0), and I really like it. The clips on Matt's site are pretty accurate. It can be noisy if you turn the gain up all the way, but there's not really any need for that, because it has plenty on tap. It kind of makes my guitar sound like it is angry and on fire.

The Roland Bee Baa AF-100 looked like this and as mentioned already was a (octave) fuzz w/ treble boost -- not a phaser.
It's a pretty brutal fuzz, not subtle in the least.



As also mentioned above, the Roland fuzz/phaser was the Roland Jet Phaser AP-7


EDIT: Ross did a combo distortion/phaser...might have been a clone of that?

the ross phaser/distortion is basically a mxr d+ and a phase 45 (i think) in the same box
