Jersey Girl Fulltender
Not that common pedal up here in europe. I guess it’s the same with U.S. Anyway. Somewhat interesting take on a TS/OD808/SD-1.
Apocalypse Audio 4 Horsemen
One last one, for tonight. From RnFR: well, i came up with another dirt pedal the other day. lately, i’ve been experimenting with mixing different types of transistors together to achieve new tones, and this one kind of takes that idea to the extreme. it’s designed under the premise that the stages increase in breakup … Read more
Apocalypse Audio Dirty Boots Version 5
Continuing with the layouts I made that day. Here’s the fifth version of the dirty boots. It’s a germanium overdrive based on the first version, there’s an additional pre-gain pot that controls ho much signal is entering the effect.

Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom

I personally have a strong dislike to pedals which have more than one knob (level/volume) that can kill the signal by dumping all of it to ground. … Read more
ProTone Body Rot II
Here’s the ProTone Body Rot II, a heavy distortion pedal built around a 386 chip. It’s very similar to the Krank Distortus Maximus, and many other 386-based distortions.
