In the heart of Brazil’s vibrant music scene, the Beetronics Abelha Tropical Fuzz pedal emerges as a groundbreaking innovation, merging the psychedelic essence of Tropicália with cutting-edge technology. The Abelha, named after the Portuguese word for “bee,” is a nod to the buzz and energy of Brazil’s musical landscape. This pedal is not just an effect; it’s a journey through time, combining the vintage charm of classic fuzz with modern, forward-thinking design.
Revolutionary Features for the Modern Musician
The Abelha stands out with its unique feature set, offering three distinct fuzz flavors. “Polen” brings a sagged, spitty tone reminiscent of a dying battery in a germanium fuzz style. “Nectar” offers a round, expansive fuzzy sound, and “Honey” delivers a more contained gain with impressive versatility. The pedal’s intuitive “Buzz” and “Loud” controls allow for precise adjustment of fuzz intensity and volume, while the “HI” and “LO” settings provide comprehensive EQ shaping capabilities.
Step Into the Tropics with Innovative Tropical Mode
Perhaps the most striking feature is the “Tropical Mode”, a high-pass filter that instantly transports players to psychedelic realms. This mode can be activated with a double tap or a hold on the footswitch, encouraging spontaneous sonic exploration. The pedal also features three footswitch profile options, allowing musicians to tailor the tempo changes for the momentary function to their playing style.
Designed for Both Traditionalists and Innovators
Beetronics has meticulously crafted the Abelha to appeal to a broad range of musicians. Whether you’re a traditionalist drawn to the nostalgic tones of yesteryear or a modern player seeking new sonic territories, this pedal provides the tools for expansive musical expression.

Quality and Convenience in Design
The Abelha is not just about sound; its design speaks volumes about Beetronics’ commitment to quality. The pedal features a true bypass design, ensuring your tone remains uncolored when the effect is disengaged. With top-mounted input and output jacks, it’s convenient for any pedalboard setup.
