The Blind Panic Devices B2 Buzzy Bee Fuzzy Delay is a fuzz delay pedal: fuzz and delay in one box, with modulation on top. Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson, reviewing it with Matt Valentine, described it as a "Fuzz Texturizer" combining fuzz, delay, an LFO modulator, pitch modulation flutter, and a feedback micro looper1. It is, per the same review, essentially a Fuzzy Beelay V2 edition, and "a lot more than your typical Fuzzy Delay"1.
What it does
The B2 stacks a fuzz stage into a delay line and then modulates the result. Guitar Pedal X reported that it "produces Swarms, Drones, Bee flight sounds, and Drunken Bee textures", which is where the Buzzy Bee name comes from1. The LFO section shapes how the repeats move, and the pitch modulation flutter and feedback micro looper add further texture on top of the fuzz and delay core1.
Controls
The pedal's control layout, as reported by Guitar Pedal X2:
| Section | Controls |
|---|---|
| Master | LEVEL (master volume) |
| Delay | Mix, Time |
| LFO | Speed, Waveform (Triangle, Squiggly Saw, Square), LFO Intensity, Wave Depth, LFO Switch, Mode: Heavy (Intense) / Normal |
| Fuzz | FUZZ TEXTURE |
The delay section carries Mix and Time controls, and the fuzz stage has its own FUZZ TEXTURE control1.
What reviewers said
Guitar Pedal X covered the B2 twice in 2024. In the May review, Stefan Karlsson and Matt Valentine framed it as an unusual take on the fuzz delay format, calling it "essentially Fuzzy Beelay V2" and more than a typical fuzzy delay1. In a December roundup of the year's spatial and time-based effects, Karlsson was more measured:
"Blind Panic delivers some really unusual but cool quirky delays - and this Fuzzy Delay combination is not of its best."
That verdict is worth weighing against the May coverage: the same publication found the pedal unusual and cool overall, while ranking this particular fuzz and delay pairing below the maker's other work2.
Where it sits in the range
Blind Panic Devices positions the B2 as a step beyond its earlier Fuzzy Beelay: the maker describes this essentially Fuzzy Beelay V2 edition as "a lot more than your typical Fuzzy Delay"1. It carries a list price of $290 USD (also listed at £229)2.
