Hello everyone, I just got a One Control BJF Silver Bee pedal and I’m really loving it. I just have a question: can I use this pedal when I practice? It sounds so good! Or maybe set it to low gain and higher volume?

Great to hear that. You can use it for boosting so that you can practice your picking dynamics. Plesae make sure that it is louder than normal tone. Great overdrive pedal.

You can practice chromatic scale, Blue Monk melody, Shuffle bassline, Shuffle Riff groove etc. When you practice R 3 7 Swing Groove, better not to use any pedals.

Enjoy!

I know what you mean, Tobi! I absolutely love my Silver Bee! I use it with the Keeley Nocturne when performing. You're right, It sounds so good. I also got a Beth Reverb; it's so worth it, too. I got a Honey Bee Mini and a Prussian Reverb and a Strawberry OD from One control. One of my favorite pedal companies. I want to get Tomo's little One Control amp BJF-S1000 one day.

Hi Tobi - I'm sure that there will be lots of opinions on this question. But when I'm practicing, the only two pedals that I use are my tuner and a looper. I don't use any overdrive, delay, etc. I think that anything other than a clean guitar tone will mask any noises and mistakes that need to be worked on, and I have PLENTY that needs to be worked on. :-)

Yeah, I understand. I guess I was just trying to find an excuse to use it, lol ! This pedal sounds so good, I’m in a good mood because of it. You're right—maybe practicing hard first and then using pedals for fun is the better way to go

I wasn't trying to dissuade you from using it! When you're playing, crank it up and have a blast! In my mind, playing and practicing are two different things. I have two overdrives and a vintage ibanez delay on my pedalboard that are so much fun to play with and sound so good! But I use them when I play, not when I practice.

Thank you tomo sensei!!

Wow! I’m so excited. I was thinking the same thing—it makes the sound louder and clearer without sounding too 'overdriven.' I'll definitely keep it off when practicing the R 3 7 swing groove. Thanks for the advice!

This pedal gives me so much motivation hahaha
