The Procyon Natural Overdrive is a clone of the BJFe Honey Bee Overdrive, which is known for its low-gain tone and vintage Supro amp-inspired sound. The circuit design of the Honey Bee Overdrive is unique, incorporating both soft and hard clipping and utilizing frequency-dependent negative feedback from different points in the circuit. This results in a tone that is often described as “amplike.”

Originally handmade in Sweden, these pedals were quite expensive, ranging from $300 to $400 USD. However, in 2011, an agreement was made with BearFoot FX to produce them in the USA at a more reasonable cost.

Bearfoot FX has also released several variants of the Honey Bee circuit, such as the Model H, Model G, Honey Beest, Uber Bee, and Sparkling Yellow Overdrive. While these circuits are similar, the Procyon project specifically supports the standard Honey Bee circuit, both the BJFe and BearFoot versions, which may have minor differences.
