I saw this and thought it sounded pretty cool.

The gut images are a little small, but was wondering if anyone knew anything about these or had seen better pictures under the hood.

i don't suppose you happen to have a schematic for this one,do you?..... :)


Kind of reminds me of the Lovetone pedals,like the Brown Source,has anyone built one of those?.... :)



Looks cool anyway.... :)

Thanks! Still Learning!

From what I can tell this thing has Cross Over Distortion, a Wet/Dry mix, Octave up, and Oscillation. Be still my beating heart!

Construction looks half decent too! Jacks are off center though, minor pet peeve!

Slightly better picture

Wow,you don't often see cros-over distortion implemented in a distortion stompbox,normaly cross-over distortion is something to be avoided in amplifiers since it makes amps sound very rough at low volumes,hmmm...intreguing..... :hmmm: ...... :)

I dig the "shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line" approach to the wiring. So far I see a pair of yellow LEDs and a quad of some type of silicon diodes. Yellows for hard clip to ground, silicon diodes soft clip in the feedback loop, maybe? Or perhaps an arrangement like the Prunes and Custard if we're talking crossover distortion..... Any ideas on the opamps? I can't make them out.
Loud's a tone, right?

I couldn't tell if the diodes were yellow or water clear. I'm not sure how much of an effect the photography/surrounding components is having on how we get to perceive the colour.

That's a very cool pedal.
