Beetronics is here to make your fuzz a little more tropical thanks to their new Abelha pedal. Abelha, the Portuguese word for “bee,” is heavily based on the Tropicália music movement of the ’60s and offers a lot of that fuzzy psych-heavy tone. The Abelha offers three fuzz modes, all of whcih you can access via the toggle switch on the pedal:
- “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
- “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. Get the Abelha Tropical Fuzz Pedal here for $289.
