Beetronics Releases the Seabee Harmochorus Pedal

Beetronics has unleashed a new pedal called the Seabee, a multi-chorus pedal featuring analog bucket brigade chorus tones. It has three chorus modes for all the classic sounds we’re used to, each mode having different control sets.

The pedal can also deliver a brand-new type of modulation.

“By digitally controlling the chorus delay time, the Bees have created Harmochorus – a never-before-heard pitch-shifting modulation that can certainly inspire new genres,” they write. “The easiest way to explain it is that, when clean, it sounds like angel bees are accompanying you, and when paired with some buzz, it sounds like a swarm of killer bees producing the most dangerous pitch-shifting modulation are after you! You can choose between two different pitches and speeds, a combination of twelve chords and twelve different arpeggio patterns, or simply choose between thousands of random patterns. No matter which mode you choose, the Seabee will navigate you to inspiring and creative places.”

The Seabee’s control layout includes three knobs with lots of options, including alternate controls, three ramp shapes, tap tempo, a four-way tone filter, feedback control, and a shifting rate range. It also has plenty of connectivity with stereo output, 16 onboard presets, MIDI control, expression input, and an external tap.

Four input levels let you adjust the pedal to accept guitar, bass, synthesizers, and more.
