Fulltone's all-analogue Custom Shop Queen Bee pedal delivers gloriously-saturated, old-school fuzz tones. Reacting beautifully to the position of your guitar's volume pot, the Queen Bee can be cleaned up to provide subtle boost and mild overdrive sounds – all the way up to ferocious high-gain fuzz.

The Custom Shop Queen Bee is powered by a trio of NOS military “Flying Saucer” germanium transistors, in an original Fulltone circuit that behaves in an amp-like manner. This meticulously-crafted design allows the Queen Bee to respond dynamically to the input from your hands and guitar, and is very touch-sensitive. Sweet mids, precise note clarity, piano-like sustain and rich harmonic content are all there – forming an incredible-sounding stompbox that can elevate any dull-sounding amplifier to new sonic heights!

Unique Circuitry

Queen Bee's first and second transistors are configured to achieve maximum gain in order to hit the third transistor extremely hard, creating more sustain and distortion than is possible with typical 2-transistor fuzzes. This proprietary design also gives the pedal a surprisingly low-noise floor for such a high-gain design.

Rich in Mid-Range

Another thing the Bee has, something that many fuzzes lack, is ample mid-range! Fender amp owners will appreciate the 'Passive Hi-Cut' tone control for taming the treble, while further sonic-sculpting is accomplished via a smart, loss-less 3-position Bass switch (placed before transistor #3) tailoring the low frequencies and keeping the bottom-end tight.

Adjustable Bias

Inside the pedal is a trim pot that allows you to adjust the bias of the third transistor by a range between 2 and 6 volts DC. Fulltone's favourite is somewhere between 3 and 4 volts. The trimmer should be adjusted by ear as there are no wrong settings, and a slight turn results in a drastic change in sound, volume and compression characteristics. Suddenly firm becomes soft, bright becomes warm, grainy becomes smooth… it’s astonishing what this little trimmer does!

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Custom. Fuzz — A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players. Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive..
