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.

compact surrounds that blend well with the right setup
Size: 4” Woofer
I picked up the Klipsch R‑40M as part of a full 5.1 system built around the R‑50M fronts and the R‑50C center. My original plan was to use another pair of R‑50M speakers in the back, but they simply didn’t fit in the rear cabinet space I have. The R‑40M ended up being the only model that fit comfortably, so they became my surround channels. In terms of build quality, they feel solid and consistent with the rest of the Reference Next‑Gen line. The copper woofers and updated horn design give them the same visual identity as the larger models, which helps the whole system look cohesive. They’re compact enough to place in tighter spaces without compromising too much on performance. Sonically, the R‑40M does a respectable job as a surround speaker. Effects are clear, directional cues are easy to follow, and they integrate smoothly with the more powerful R‑50M fronts. That said, they are noticeably less powerful than the R‑50M, so you need to spend a little time balancing your levels. Once I bumped their channel trim a bit and adjusted the distance settings, the rear soundstage locked in nicely and felt much more even. They won’t deliver the same fullness or dynamic punch as the larger models, but for rear channels that’s usually not a deal breaker. What matters is clarity and consistency, and the R‑40M handles both well. Movies with active surround mixes feel immersive, and ambient effects wrap around the room without calling attention to the speakers themselves. If you’re building a system where space is limited in the back, the R‑40M is a practical and capable choice. Just be prepared to fine tune your calibration so they match the output of the bigger speakers up front. Once dialed in, they round out a 5.1 setup very effectively.

Great Bang for the Buck!
Size: 5.25” Woofer
These R50 Studio Monitors are worth every penny. One could easily spend a heck of a lot more to get less. Have been a pro audio engineer my entire life. These monitors kick out clean, solid bass and accurate highs. Klipsch did a excellent job designing these monitors. Perfect for smail spaces where fidelity is critical. If you wall mount these, make sure you leave at least a 1.5 inch air gap between the back of the monitor and the wall. These units are sweet.
