Actual Guitar Players Only! Overdrive

[MichaelW]

Anyone built this one?

I mean aside from the fact that I might not "actually" qualify to play this thing.....

Is this a @PedalPCB original design?

No schematic posted but just looking through the BOM it looks it it may have TS roots with some interesting clipping and voicing toggles.

I bought us both one. Thanks for the heads-up

That’s why I won’t do interviews.

I actually thought it might be a pedalpcb project too. Must have this bit of drama when it happened! Another overdrive wasn't in the budget so it's fortunate I'm not an actual guitar player. I assume its the KHDK Ghoul JR for the actual overdrive jr. This and a few other projects without their proper names make me curious as to why they aren't attributed the same as the rest.

I suspect Robert must pick some PCBs just because they have amusing backstories. Blue Waffle being another example.

Ok that makes sense, I had no idea Kirk Hammett was building pedals.

But now this makes sense....more of @PedalPCB's humor at work hahaha.

So it sounds pretty cool in this demo although probably a bit more heavy than is usable for me. We'll see how it does in the lower gain modes!

Don't be afraid, a lot of what you're hearing in that demo is the amp, it's not going to turn you into a metal player.

It's really just a Tubescreamer based overdrive with some bells and whistles.
