Beetronics Royal Jelly Pedal Beetronics

Our Take:

The Royal Jelly OD/Fuzz from Beetronics is an incredible solution to a dilemma that many guitarists face: how can I properly blend my overdrive and fuzz tone with minimal hassle? The Royal Jelly employs two separate circuits in parallel and allows you to blend them as you see fit. Plus, it also comes with two presets – a Queen and a King – for quick, on the go switching between tones. If that wasn’t enough, the Royal Jelly has an onboard EQ, a DRY control to also blend your clean tone into the mix, and a BUZZ switch for the option of a crazy, buzzing high end that is normally found on vintage fuzz boxes. The Royal Jelly is a super powerful pedal that offers you tons of tonal variety, while saving you real estate on your pedalboard!

Beetronics’ Take:

The Royal Jelly is an overdrive/fuzz blender like no other pedal. It can cover any ground from overdrive to fuzz, running two circuits in parallel and giving you the possibility of blending it or having them separately. It also has two presets of the blend, called Queen and King. The presets allow you not only to have two different sounds on the fly, but also make for a very natural transition between them, since instead of switching pedals, you are mixing the levels between your overdrive and fuzz. It’s also possible to blend in your dry signal, a great feature for bass, drums and synths or any studio use. On the guitar the DRY control is great to create unique clean tones with a fuzzy background. The Jelly’s powerful EQ gives you 10dB of cut/boost for HI and LO making it possible to shape your tone in many
different ways, while the BUZZ switch adds that nasty high end usually found on the vintage fuzz boxes to its fuzz circuit. The Royal Jelly drips tone and it’s a pedal that can change your approach to overdrive and fuzz.
