Hi PedalPCB Admins! Firstly let me say that having just now discovered your site/forum and about to embark on my first build, I am thoroughly BLOWN AWAY by the comprehensive breadth and scope of your overdrive/distortion offerings.
So here’s the pitch: I think a biggie you’re missing, and a massively underappreciated/undernoticed gem of the heavy metal crunch world is the Randall RRED pedal—itself based on the amazing jfet distortion circuit from the Randall RG80/100 solid state amps as made famous by the tones on the first two Pantera albums, and if you didn’t know, also on Dokken’s “Tooth and Nail”. To my ears it’s the PERFECT metal distortion: crazy-tight, yet rich and huge. Beautiful string-to-string separation, airy top end. Compressed but not sterile.
I own a couple of these in case one dies, and I live in abject fear of Randall discontinuing these painfully under-promoted stompboxes. I really need this circuit immortalized.
So HOW ABOUT IT?!?!
