Melo Tone Labs Silent Bee Overdrive - Anchor

SILENT BEE OVERDRIVE — ANCHOR The Anchor is for the ones who can't leave well enough alone. The ones who read the schematic. The ones who have an opinion about op-amps. Same handbuilt Blues Breaker-inspired circuit as the Core — now housed in a striking raw aluminum trapezoid 1590TRPB enclosure that immediately stands out on any pedalboard. Top-mounted jacks. Feather-light footswitch. Blue LED. The knobs are Davies-manufactured — the same knobs used on the original Klon Centaur. If you know, you know. And because we built this for the obsessive — the IC is socketed. The diodes are socketed. Swap op-amps. Try different clipping combinations. Tune it to your rig without picking up a soldering iron. What's inside: Blues Breaker-inspired two-stage op-amp overdrive Raw bare aluminum trapezoid 1590TRPB enclosure Top-mounted jacks Davies-manufactured knobs (as used on the original Klon Centaur) Feather-light footswitch Blue LED Socketed IC — swap op-amps freely Socketed diodes — experiment with clipping combinations High quality pots Tight tolerance resistors and capacitors Cloth pushback wire Lumberg 1/4" jacks Upgraded DC jack Hand stamped Hand assembled Specifications: Power: 9V DC, center negative Current draw: 5–8mA Input/Output: Lumberg 1/4" mono jacks Enclosure: Raw bare aluminum trapezoid 1590TRPB Controls: Volume, Tone, Gain LED: Blue IC socket: Yes — user swappable Diode socket: Yes — user swappable Hand assembled in the USA Each Silent Bee is hand stamped and hand assembled individually. Minor variations in stamping, finish, and appearance are part of the handbuilt character — no two are exactly alike. Socket and component placement may vary slightly between units.
