THORPY FX: Heavy Water

A nice booster from Thorpy, most likely Dan Coggins design.  The build notes from PedalPCB suggest germanium diodes across the opamp for a dirty boost.

This puts out a lot of level, and the low cut can put it in treble boost territory on extreme settings without any trouble at all, otherwise generally handy to cut a bit of bass to tighten things up on the lower end. 


I haven’t included a trace of the wave, as it basically looks like a big sine wave – a bit of change with the bass cut, but nothing worth looking at.
