Black Cat Wee Buzz
The Wee Buzz is a more compact and affordable variant of the Bee Buzz and is based on the original Roland Bee Baa as well.

Closely resembling other Black Cat pedals, the Wee Buzz carries only the basic features and is pure fuzz. It does not include a control to dial in the fuzz as it is handcrafted to be maxed out always.
