The Custom Shop Queen Bee is powered by 3 x New Old Stock Military "Flying Saucer" germanium transistors in an original design that behaves in an amp-like manner, meaning it responds dynamically to the input from your hands and guitar. Great clean-up by lowering the guitar's volume knob, sweet mids, clarity, sustain, harmonics...it's all in there.

As with most Fulltone pedals, the Queen Bee has True-Bypass switching via the Fulltone 3PDT footswitch for maximum signal integrity while the pedal is bypassed.

Specifications
Input Impedance: using 440Hz, 100k or lower
Output Impedance: varies with Volume knob position, range approximately 20k - 70k
Power Consumption: 5mA
Dimensions: 4.78" L x 2.9" W x 2.4" H

This fuzz leaves no doubt that you are indeed fuzzing. Fuzz comes in many flavors. This one is kind of in between a germanium fuzz face and tone bender type sound. There is no shortage of fuzz. Fizzy on the high end if you like, but it can also do a huge dark sound. It's a very thick fuzz with lots of mids. There is lots of volume output. Unity is before 1/3 output knob travel. You can melt an amp nicely. It cleans up with guitar volume reduction. It gets cleaner, but still sounds thick, not clean and bright like a fuzz face would. It's got an internal bias which I played with in an attempt to reduce compression for a bit more range. I found changing the bias made big changes. I settled on just a bit more voltage than factory setting. I think this pedal is a stand out if you want angry bees. I likes my single coils more than my doubles. At least to my ears - more dynamic range. I also own a fulltone '69 fuzz which is better if you want to just turn on a fuzz and use your volume and call it rock and roll. The queen bee is better if you want to get seriously fuzzy and don't need the rolled back sound as your foundation.

Saturday morning March 6th, 2021, one of the most significant things to me about the Queen Bee is something so simple. It doesn't muddy or color the sound of my amp. I hooked it up first in line, then Jekyll & Hyde, then Route 66. These are my go to pedals. Nothing wrong with them but they show how true to the sound of the amp the Queen Bee is. The Queen Bee in the first input on the Custom side of the 68' Reissue Deluxe Reverb to me sounds like the amp but with more.

# 00600! It arrived today. Will update for sound later and on Saturday will be back at the store to do a side by side with the OCD Ge. Queen Bee is a keeper. The build is over the top for quality. 5+ ; Features, I don't really know but believe it is a 5 as well. As for value, it looks and feels really top drawer. What I heard on YouTube made me a believer on first hearing. What I see in my hands is better than I imagined. Queen Bee medallion on the face of the pedal is incredible. Will update after doing a side by side later. I got mine from Salomon at L&D Prince George - All the guys at this store are the best "team" ever in my opinion.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
