The D*A*M Super Bee SB-68 was mentioned as something that had not been traced yet, which made me curious. I looked at a few photos and found that there are two versions. One with OC82s and one with OC78s. Some very slight differences, but otherwise, a MKII Tone Bender cramped onto a smaller board to fit the enclosure.
I still haven’t been able to spot the value of the electrolytic capacitors on the input and on the Attack pot. These should not make a significant difference to the sound.
If you have any more info or disagree with the values shown, please let me know in the comments. Components with a red outline are assumed based on other TBs.
D*A*M SUPER BEE SB-68 – VERO LAYOUTS
OC82 VERSION
- No 10n cap to ground on Q1 base
- 100k bias resistor on Q2 collector
- 8k2 / 560 ohm bias resistor combo on Q3
- The resistor hiding under the electrolytic near the output cap is most likely the same value as an Italian TB
OC78 VERSION
- 10n cap to ground on Q1 base
- 47k bias resistor on Q2 collector
- 8k2 / 1k bias resistor combo on Q3 collector
- There doesn’t appear to be a resistor involved with the attack pot, like on the Italian TBs (none that can be seen anyway)
