NAMM 2024: Beetronics FX has unveiled the Abelha Tropical Fuzz, a three-mode fuzz pedal inspired by the psychedelic sounds of the Brazilian Tropicália movement, with some of the tricksy features you might expect from one of the world’s most original guitar effects pedals.
The Abelha is arguably the most personal pedal in the Beetronics lineup. Filipe Pampuri, the company’s founder, was born and raised in Brazil, and this is very much a love letter to the sounds of Brazilian popular music in the ‘70s.
