BJFe is a Swedish boutique effects pedal company founded in 2000 by Björn Juhl. The name stands for Björn Juhl Förstärkarelektronik ("Björn Juhl Amplifier Electronics"), reflecting Juhl's origins as an amp repair technician before he began designing effects in the late 1990s. Pedals are hand-built by Juhl in small quantities, with his wife Eva hand-painting the lettering and illustrations on each enclosure, giving every unit a distinctive folk-art appearance.

The brand is best known for warm, dynamic, amp-like overdrive designs that have become reference points in the boutique pedal world. The Honey Bee Overdrive, released in the early 2000s, is widely regarded as its signature circuit — voiced to emulate a worn, low-wattage tube combo. Other notable designs include the Sea Blue EQ, Emerald Green Distortion Machine, Model G, ODS-34, Pale Green Compressor, and the Baby Blue Overdrive, along with a range of fuzzes and a Green Mini Vibe.

BJFe follows a color-plus-adjective naming convention across its catalog and prioritizes touch responsiveness and frequency balance over high-gain saturation. Juhl's circuits have been licensed and adapted by other builders, most notably through Bearfoot FX (which produces pedals based on BJFe designs for wider availability) and Japanese brand One Control, for whom Juhl has designed numerous production pedals.

BJFe has 21 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Fuzz Effects Pedals, and Univibe & Rotary Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Pop. Notable users include Archer Prewitt, Ariel Posen, and Pat Sansone.
