Beetronics Fatbee JFET Overdrive

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.

Simple, Intuitive Controls
Three knobs—Weight (volume), Flavor (tone), and Honey (gain)—make it easy to dial in rich, usable tones.

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