Info from the manufacturer: The Red Snapper is the original Menatone pedal. It debuted in 1996 to fill the need for a very open and uncompressed overdrive. The circuit has remained essentially unchanged except for the addition of the “hi cut” control, which allows for complete control of the treble response after the overdrive. The … Read more
Info from the Menatone about the original: The King of the Britains is based on the famous ’67-’68 plexi that was all the rage in the eighties, but, this King is all hopped up on STEROIDS. This little beast can take you from clean to scream at a twist of its Gain, or a turn … Read more
Now verified but note changes in pot lug connections from the original layout posted. If you’re going to build this then use the latest layout shown below. Info from the makers: Need to melt peoples brains with supersonic chaos?Want a different sound than everyone else? For an endless amount of full, insane, buzz sawing, jaw … Read more
And so on to the next AMT pedal, this one is based on the Bognor Triple Giant Sharp Channel. I’ve included trimmers with this one to help bias the alternative JFETs so this may be a better one to start with if you’re interested in building an AMT pedal. I haven’t included the cab sim, … Read more
Verified but with a caveat. Two people have verified the main board and the cab sim separately, but there are definitely biasing issues dependant on the JFETs you use. This was designed around the 2SK208 SMD transistors and so when using the common through-hole JFET, they will need biasing differently and so it would be … Read more
