CKK / Sinvertek Releases a handful more Modded SH-1N Scream Honey Overdrive Pedals in Gold and Dark Gold Editions
Kind of as predicted in my end of year roundup for 2021 - where I bemoaned my missing out on the original 170-run Scream Honey release last year. I did predict though that Mr Wu would likely make a few more modded editions eventually - probably in much the same way as he did with the N5+ 3D : Gold and Titanium Editions - and where I was lucky enough to snag a Gold variant.
So I was both excited and filled with trepidation when the new announcement went out - just 59 more each of Gold and Dark Gold editions - both around 20% improved - as hand-tuned by engineer Wu Nan himself. Several of my most loyal readers have one of the originals - and I was really hoping to join their ranks - and add a matching pair to my N5+ 3D Gold. So I’m delighted to report that I’ve already processed the invoice and received payment confirmation from Sales Manager Tina - and now there is a Scream Honey Gold with my name on it! Due to be delivered in 2-3 weeks!
This is a superbly articulate and harmonic overdrive - with so much character and dynamism - that you can really turn it to most purposes. The core controls are the classic 3 knobs - of Level, Tone and Drive, you then have a couple of further EQ toggle-switches - 'H' stands for 'Hollow' and cuts some of the Upper-Mids, while the 'B' / 'Bold' switch accentuates both low and high frequencies - a little like a one-shot Spectrum control.
This is just a wonderfully articulate overdrive which some of my readers are using as a harmonic boost - which should mean a lot of scope for me. I've been kind of lucky of late in securing a number of these limited edition pedals - and I always feel blessed when my luck is in. There's been quite a number of misses over the years - so it's nice when the lottery goes your way.
I hope all of those I communicated with recently managed to snag one as well. It's always very nervy when you are waiting a number of days for a response. And it's all great of course when it works out - and I'm happy now to own 5 of Mr Wu's pedals.
I look forward to with catching up with everyone on their experience of this special overdrive.
I would imagine that these additional 118 pedals are long since sold out by the time this article goes live. I made sure that I knew what my own status was before sharing this post - as I didn't wish to jinx it.
I sincerely hope all my folks managed to snag one and that all will be as delighted with the Scream Honey as Pete Thorn seems to be :
