Beetronics · pedal
The Beetronics Seabee Harmochorus is a multi-mode modulation pedal built around a genuine BBD bucket-brigade chip with digitally controlled delay time. Six modes split into two groups: Chorus modes (Roto, Depth, Sting) deliver analog modulation with ramping and dual-speed options; Harmochorus modes (Dual, Arp, Mad) add pitch movement, arpeggios, and thousands of randomized harmonic patterns. Controls include Rate, Mix, Depth, Ramp/Tone/Pattern, and Feedback/Harmonies knobs. Features tap tempo, 16 onboard presets, stereo outputs, MIDI, and expression control. Pedal size 5.5 x 4 x 2.75 inches, 250mA. Reviewed by Guitar.com as bringing multi-modulation carnage from genuine analog circuits.
