Lovepedal – Kalamazoo

Well, yet another Lovepedal on the chopping bench – the Kalamazoo. Ok so what we know – it’s a tubescreamer derivative. Check out the tones on the demo video:

Some circuit board images were donated to freestompboxes.org and a retrace begun. WhiteKeyHole produced this schematic:

As you can see it’s a straight tubescreamer derivative. There are a few unknown values here and there (In brackets) but you should be able to have a tweak yourself and come up with something that suits you a little better. The tone control set the basic level of treble roll off while the glass control sets about boosting/cutting the treble in the same manner that a standard tubescreamer tone control works. There is some interactivity between them but nothing to write home about.

Well, I suppose that’s it. Here’s an image of the Lovepedal Kalamazoo circuit board:

And some more guts;
