I had to find, purchase and install a replacement IC. The circuit board was loose and briefly brushed the back of the speaker zapping the power amp IC. When I was working with one of my HT's, I had the battery connected, but the power switch was off. I offer no guarantee to it's accuracy and take no responsibilityīefore working on your HoneyTone: Disconnect the battery and power! I have no idea if the latest SMD model is the same or not. This is a schematic I made from my old HoneyTone, I recommend the HoneyTone to anyone who needs a small practice ampįor any of the above reasons. Heard good things about the the original Pignose, however it's a The jFET preampįor the price and size it's surprisingly good, and measures upĪgainst similar practice amps from other companies. It sounds like a little tube amp in it's own right. I plug my Harp Commander and Reverb pedal into the HoneyTone, Signals (ring and tip) from the 4mm stereo plug to the 1/4" jack's To make the cable you need a 4mm stereo plug, a 1/4" mono plug,Īnd a length of single core shielded, coax audio cable.

To really get that great tone out to the audience at any volume You canĪlso use the same cable from the headphone output into a PA or mixer With the help of a 4mm stereo plug to 1/4" mono plug cable it canīe used with a walkman as a very light portable mono boombox. It runs off a 9 volt battery (rechargables too) or 9 volt wall It's convenient compact size and light weight are also important The headphone jack is handy for practicing amplified It's great for practice, busking, or jamming as it's very smallĪnd portable. Overdrive & tone controls give plenty of variety to it's sound. Living room with an electric band at moderate levels. And it can get surprisingly loud - enough to jam in an average ForĪ 1 Watt amp it's got decent tone, better than some of the other miniĪmps I've tried, in fact a better tone than a few valve amps I've HoneyTone Mini Amp for practice, jamming, or performance. Latest models have SMD components which is beyond the scope of most of this article, with the exception of the two sections indicated. * Most of this only applies to earlier models.
