The Queen Wasp Drive is the first dual overdrive pedal from Black Kat Devices, designed to meet every guitarist’s needs.

By combining two Wasp Drives into one pedal, the Queen Wasp offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to activate the two channels separately while taking up minimal space on your pedalboard. Its versatility lets you achieve a wide range of tones, all while maintaining the unmistakable sound characteristic of the Wasp Drive.

Unlike the single Wasp Drive, the Queen Wasp features internal controls for "FAT", "+" and "CLIP", easily adjustable via dipswitches, allowing for even deeper sound customization while maintaining a compact and high-performance design.

CONTROLS

​

✔ GAIN – Adjusts the signal gain, from light saturation to a thick crunch. Up to half, the sound remains clean, while at 3 o'clock, you reach a rich and aggressive overdrive.

✔ HI CUT – Controls the high frequencies of the signal. With the knob turned to minimum, it emphasizes the mid/high frequencies, and turning it clockwise reduces the brightness, producing a warmer, rounder tone.

✔ VOLUME – Adjusts the pedal’s output level. When turned fully counterclockwise, the pedal is muted. Turning it to the right increases the output volume.

✔ RIGHT FOOTSWITCH – Activates Pedal #1. If Pedal #2 is already active, Pedal #1 will modify the sound before Pedal #2 in the signal chain.

✔ LEFT FOOTSWITCH – Activates Pedal #2. If Pedal #1 is already active, Pedal #2 will modify the sound after Pedal #1 in the signal chain.

✔ RIGHT LED – Indicates activation of Pedal #1 with the LED lighting up when the right footswitch is pressed.

✔ LEFT LED – Indicates activation of Pedal #2 with the LED lighting up when the left footswitch is pressed.

DIPSWITCH SETTINGS

​

By removing the cover, you will find the internal DIPSWITCHES that allow you to configure the pedal to your liking:

✔ FAT – When activated, it boosts the low frequencies, changing the tone control’s response and making the sound fuller and more substantial.

✔ + – Adds a signal boost, increasing saturation and bringing the sound to a higher gain level, offering greater dynamic range.

✔ CLIP – When deactivated, it removes the clipping diodes, enhancing dynamic response and increasing volume for a more open, natural sound.

Note: Some settings combinations (e.g., Hi Cut at 0, no clipping on both channels, high gain and high volume) may cause internal oscillation.
