  • ABELHA TROPICAL FUZZ

  • Through the psychedelic soundscapes of Tropicália, fuzz has made its mark on Brazil's musical journey. ABELHA, which means "bee" in Portuguese, captures the very essence and vintage allure of this tropical fuzz phenomenon. It reimagines this classic vibe, infusing it with a forward-thinking twist, destined to become a timeless classic for the future.

     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.

    Dive into psychedelic realms with the "Tropical Mode", a high-pass filter that transports you straight to the tropics. Activate it with a double tap on the footswitch or hold it for momentary sonic exploration. Three footswitch profile options enable you to adjust the tempo changes for the momentary function to your liking.

    The ABELHA is the ultimate pedal to create a world of fuzz sounds, bridging the gap between old-school charm and modern musical innovation.

      Abelha – Tropical Fuzz Reimagined.

      A psychedelic fuzz that captures the wild spirit of Brazil’s Tropicália era, with three distinct voices and a sting all its own.

      The Abelha (Portuguese for bee) delivers vintage fuzz tones with a modern twist. Three unique fuzz modes, a powerful 2-band EQ, and the special Tropical Mode give you everything from spitty and saggy to bold and biting.

      Tropical Mode recreates the iconic sound of a fuzz pedal plugged directly into a recording console — bright, raw, and edgy — even when played through an amp.

      Bluesbreaker + Klon Inspiration

      Two distinct circuits with complementary voices — one smooth and dynamic, the other tight and punchy.

      Series or Parallel Routing

      Stack them for saturation, or run them side-by-side in parallel for wide, articulate tones.

      Full Control on Each Side

      Three-way voicing switches, Honey (gain), Taste (tone), and Volume knobs per circuit — plus dedicated footswitches for each.

      COMMON QUESTIONS

      What makes the Wannabee different from other dual overdrives?

      Most dual drives only offer stacked series routing. The Wannabee also gives you parallel routing, letting both circuits run side-by-side for more clarity, depth, and control.

      Can I use each side independently?

      Yes. Each drive has its own footswitch, so you can run them solo or together — however you want.

      What do the voicing switches do?

      On the Bluesbreaker side, the switch shapes the low-end response (Mid Boost, Flat, Low Boost). On the Klon-style side, it controls how much clean signal blends in (None, Medium, Full).

      Can I switch the signal order in series mode?

      Yes. You can choose which circuit comes first when stacking the drives in series.

      What power does it need?

      9V DC center-negative (standard pedal power supply).

      Is it true bypass?

      Yes, it features true bypass switching to preserve your signal when the effect is off.
