Beetronics' goal was to embrace a classic nostalgic vibe in both its design and tones, seamlessly integrating modern features while looking ahead to create a unique futuristic fuzz tone and I beelieve we nailed it!
The Abelha offers three distinct flavors of fuzz via a toggle switch at the pedal's center. "Polen" delivers a sagged and spitty tone reminiscent of a dying battery on a germanium fuzz style. "Nectar" provides a round and huge-sounding fuzzy option, while "Honey" offers slightly more contained gain with impressive versatility. The Buzz and Loud controls adjust the fuzz and volume, while the HI and LO controls provide a versatile range to shape your EQ to perfection.
The highlight of this pedal is its Tropical Mode—a high-pass filter that introduces the characteristic Brazilian buzzing fuzz tone, instantly transporting you to the tropics. Activate it momentarily by holding the footswitch or toggle it on and off with a double tap. There’s also three footswitch profiles to adjust the tempo of the momentary function to your liking.
With that said, there’s no need to be a Brazilian music aficionado to get hooked on this pedal! It's a Beetronics masterpiece, showcasing what we do best —vintage-voiced, forward-thinking sweet fuzz tones. Perfect for any music genre or style that craves an outstanding fuzz tone."
