The Beekeeper is a dual-channel D-style tube preamp inspired by those rare L.A. boutique amps everyone talks about, but few can realistically own.

The Clean channel has a Fender-style foundation, but with a gentle midrange boost. It sounds wide open, with plenty of presence and headroom at lower gain, and moves into transparent overdrive at higher gain settings.

The Overdrive channel is thick and creamy, with rich harmonics and smooth note bloom as the gain goes up.

The Beekeeper uses a cascaded channel design, where the Clean channel feeds the Overdrive channel and acts as a boost in front of it. Balancing the CLN VOL and OD controls lets you shape the feel and character of the overdrive.

Its “Skyline” EQ is an improved take on the classic passive 3-band tone stack, with better control and less interaction between the knobs. The EQ and toggle switches affect both channels.

The Beekeeper can be used into the front of an amp, into a power amp, or directly with a cab sim. A side-mounted Tone Cut switch helps roll off excess treble when used into the front of an amp. It also offers external channel and bypass switching via a 3.5 mm jack on the side next to the output jack. Tip selects the channel, ring controls bypass, and the sleeve is grounded.

The pedal runs on a standard 12VDC input, internally boosted to 280VDC to power the tubes at proper voltage. A high-quality wall power supply is included. It can also run from a pedalboard power source using a 12VDC/500mA outlet or two 250mA outputs via a current doubler.

A true-bypass switch keeps the signal path intact when the preamp is off.

The Beekeeper covers a wide range of styles, but naturally leans toward blues and jazz.

Love it
Color: Dark Green, Size: Small
I got the dark green. Love the sweater and it's warm. I do layer the sweater as well. It is as pictured. Size is perfect to me. I like sweaters to be longer and a bit wider in case it is freezing and I need to layer it. This sweater is perfect for layering. It comes closer to my backside, it is a little wide and not snug, and I like that the sleeves come over my wrists

Still soft but looks terrible after 1 wash. Save your money
Color: White, Size: Small, Color: White, Size: Small
Update: sweater looked great when I received. After 1 wash it looks terrible. Looks like it’s been washed too many times, material fuzzy and piled. After wearing it once, it snagged and the knit pulled through. I would NOT recommend. I had such high hopes. Save your money. Very nice sweater, especially for the price! I love the details of the buttons on the sleeves. It is SO soft. It’s not super thick as I can see my skin through it when pressing my hand up against fabric. However, it’s not see through when wearing it. It’ll be perfect in cooler weather and perfect in the winter with a coat but won’t cause me to overheat when in a heated environment. I do feel like it runs big. I could have sized down a size. Although I’m not sure if it’ll shrink after a wash or two.

Disappointed.
Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large
This sweater is so comfortable and very soft. It fits well in a flattering, oversized way. But after one wash it is pilled everywhere which makes it look old and shabby. It’s at a price point where I feel compelled to return it.

Perfect for casual wear and dressy style
Color: Dark Green, Size: Small
This sweater is soooo soft and the color is so rich. The fit of it is perfect, not too tight and not too baggy, just right and I used the size guide to pick my size. Just for reference, I am 5'3" and 130lbs, 38C bust. It's well made and washes great. I chose to hang dry mine as I typically don't put any of my sweaters in the dryer to dry, just to fluff them. I have this one in two colors, the green and the tan/beige and I would say they are both a true representative of the color shown.

Love the long sleeves!!!
Color: White, Size: Small
Love it! I'm 5' 11" tall and I purchased this according to reviews. Several people commented on the length of the sleeves. I have a hard time finding sleeves long enough if it's not " tall" sized. It was perfect for me. If this washes nice I'm going to consider purchasing more in other colors. I ordered the white and just love the long ribbed cuffs with the line of buttons. Very soft.
