Yes, it’s true: we have another wonderful, awesomely-noisy creation from our friends at Beetronics for you. This one is a bit different, as it takes fuzz, distortion and octave flavorings, tosses them into a sonic blender and spits them back out with a random abandon few have ever known. The Swarm Analog Fuzz Harmonizer is its name, and it has come to play. Blowin’ out headphones and amps and anything else that gets in its...

Not to brag, but we knew about Beetronics FX before most of the rest world did. Back in 2015, we reviewed their first pedal, the Boos-tah Preamp, and have been fortunate to have more of their pedals come through the shop in the time since. After the success of the Overhive, Whoctahell, Royal Jelly and more, today we’ve got a small, simple and powerful little pedal, the first in their Babee Series. The Fatbee is hiding a lot of...

The WhoctaHell is a crazy, wild effect, combining octave, fuzz and synth tones into one glorious machine, perfect for anyone who likes to make noise and draw attention to themselves at a gig. This one is from Beetronics’...

Effects pedals that house more than one effect are always good for an experimental day, week or year. The mix of Overdrive and Fuzz in one pedal, however, doesn’t seem to appear all that much, so we couldn’t wait to check out the Royal Jelly from Beetronics. Running two circuits in parallel and giving you the ability to blend them together as you see fit, this powerhouse of a pedal brings the best of two worlds together,...

Along the way in this awesome pedal adventure of mine, I come across a TON of pedal builders, and try to do my best to help out all the little companies I can: get their name out into the world, get links from my site and social media pages to theirs and, of course, buy a pedal whenever the funds present themselves. I’ve been looking for a simple, one knob, always on boost/preamp pedal as of late, and decided to take a chance on...
