Beetronics - Seabee Lite in Cream

Beetronics has a way of making pedals that feel like they were built by someone who actually loves playing guitar — and the Seabee Lite carries that same DNA. It's a bucket-brigade analog chorus that doesn't ask much of you, just plug in and let it wash over everything. The Seabee Lite draws its inspiration from Beetronics' own Seabee, distilling that lush, organic chorus character into a more streamlined package. Three distinct chorus modes give you real variety — each one has its own LFO style, delay time, and voicing, so you're not just tweaking depth and rate and calling it a day. One mode might give you that slow, hypnotic shimmer that makes clean chords feel three-dimensional. Another digs into something more alive and pulsing, the kind of chorus that makes a Stratocaster sound like it's breathing. The third sits somewhere in between — useful for adding subtle movement without announcing itself too loudly. What makes this one feel genuinely well thought-out is how it handles the practical stuff. No menu diving, no alt-controls, no holding two buttons while tapping your foot. The 16 onboard presets mean your favorite settings are actually there when you need them, and full MIDI support makes it a natural fit for a more organized pedalboard setup. Stereo outputs open things up nicely — run it into two amps and the chorus gets that wide, spatial quality that mono just can't touch. There's also an input level selection, which matters more than people expect; it means the analog bucket-brigade circuit is getting the right signal regardless of whether you're running humbuckers or single-coils. Expression control rounds it out, letting you sweep the effect in real time for those slow, dramatic builds or quick tonal shifts mid-song. The tone itself has that warm, slightly dark quality that bucket-brigade circuits do so well. It's not the sterile, clinical shimmer of a digital chorus — there's a softness to the modulation, a little bit of grit in the character, and a sense that the signal has actually traveled through something rather than been processed by a chip. It's the kind of chorus that makes you want to leave it on. **Specifications:** - Type: Analog Bucket-Brigade Chorus - Chorus Modes: 3 (distinct LFO styles, delay times, and voicings) - Presets: 16 - MIDI: Yes - Outputs: Stereo - Input Level Selection: Yes - Expression Control: Yes - Controls: No alternate menus or hidden controls
