    FATBEE – JFET Overdrive.

    The Fatbee is a compact overdrive pedal with a big, warm tone—built around a custom JFET circuit that responds like a tube amp.

    Designed in collaboration with legendary circuit wizard Howard Davis, the Fatbee was the very first of the Babee Series. It delivers natural breakup, smooth drive, and dynamic touch sensitivity in a format that’s simple, responsive, and pedalboard-friendly.

    Whether you’re warming up a clean tone or pushing your amp into rich saturation, the Fatbee adds weight, sweetness, and just the right amount of sting. It’s the tone honey every hungry bee is after.

    Compact, Slanted Design

    Small enclosure with top-mounted jacks and a sloped housing—built to fit any pedalboard.

    COMMON QUESTIONS

    What makes the Fatbee different from other overdrives?

    It uses a fully original JFET-based circuit—designed with Howard Davis—to achieve amp-like warmth and natural breakup in a compact pedal.

    What does the name “Babee Series” mean?

    It refers to Beetronics’ smaller-format pedal line. The Fatbee was the first—offering huge tone in a small enclosure.

    What instruments can I use with the Fatbee?

    While voiced for guitar, it also works well with bass and synths—especially when you want to add warmth or saturation without overwhelming the signal.

    What kind of power does it require?

    Standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (not included).

    Is the Fatbee true bypass?

    Yes, it features true bypass switching to preserve your clean tone when disengaged.

    What are the dimensions and weight?

    Approximately 5.5” x 3.5” x 2.75” and about 0.5 lbs—compact and rugged.
