Corpulent Bee is an overdrive circuit inspired by Beetronics Fat Bee, a collaboration between pedal designer Howard Davis and Beetronics. It offers a unique blend of JFET overdrive natural and amp-like sounds with the fat and gurgling sounds of Beetronics pedals. The basic tone is nearly transparent, except for a tender softening of the top end and a throaty thickening of the lower mids. As the gain increases, the drive grows in warm, sweet, and stickiness, with very little ‘air’ but plenty of midrange bark to let choppy power chords cut through. The tone knob acts essentially like an amp’s presence control, varying from extra spiky at the top of its range to smooth near the bottom. Corpulent Bee has three controls: Gain, Tone, and Volume. The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive, Tone adjusts the presence of the sound, and Volume adjusts the overall output level. With these controls, users can harvest the best tones and get its unique, tasty sounds.
