Lovepedal Champ
This should emulate a Fender Champ sound. You can find original FSB thread and schematic here.

Lovepedal Champ
Been a while since I’ve laid out an Electra and I came across the Champ schematic on FSB, so here you go. Should fit with a board mounted pot in a 1590A.
Lovepedal Hi Vol
“The Hi Volt is a mid- to high-gain dirt box, with a fully saturated effect that is internally charge-pumped to 16VDC, and brandishes a high headroom, custom-tuned 3-band active EQ. This high-voltage configuration allows for very flexible and potent sonic possibilities, ranging from blues to metal and everything in between. With its generous low-end wallop, … Read more
Lovepedal Dragon, BBB, etc.
Here’s YAFF (yet another Fuzz Face) for Fuzz Friday. This is the basic circuit for many Lovepedal variations of the classic fuzz using both germanium and silicon transistors. If using PNP transistors whether germanium or silicon, be sure to flip the the polarized components, etc. Here’s the schematic the layout is based on.
Lovepedal Delux 60 Mosfet Boost
Hadn’t done a boost pedal in a while and hadn’t done a Lovepedal pedal in a while either, so I’m killing 2 birds with one stone. The Delux 60 uses a Mosfet gain stage set to give clean boost or to push a tube amp into break up. It’s simple but effective. This’ll fit into … Read more
Lovepedal Kalamazoo
Here’s another overdrive from Lovepedal, the Kalamazoo. Somewhat similar to the Timmy/OD11 but with different tone controls. D5 on originals is a 1N914/4148 (they’re pretty much the same diode), but a 1N5817 or even a 4001 would probably bet better (it’s for polarity protection). Also, I’ve included pads for the capacitor labeled “Cx” on the … Read more
Lovepedal Amp 11
Here’s Lovepedal’s clone of Paul C’s Timmy again. This time with on-board pots and a slightly modified power section. Sean added some extra power filtering that’s just unnecessary, so I simplified things. Drilling template can be found here.
Lovepedal Superlead
The Superlead is Lovepedal’s take on the Marshall Guv’nor. It has a simplified tone stack compared to the Guv’nor, but has a switch to select between silicon diodes and LED for clipping. Great for 80’s metal tones. On an unrelated note, I made a Facebook page for the blog. I figure you guys can post … Read more
Lovepedal Silicon Fuzz Master
For #fuzzfriday, here’s an interesting take on the Fuzz Face circuit. It uses silicon PNP transistors, but is still a negative ground effect (so daisy chaining power supply is still ok). I guess Sean had a bunch of extra 2N3906s lying around. I took a few liberties with the power filtering and polarity protection, but … Read more
Lovepedal Englishman
Here’s the Lovepedal Englishman. It’s claimed to sound like a cranked Vox (either AC15 or AC30 depending on which clipping diodes are selected). Like many of Lovepedal’s offerings, this circuit is built around a single transistor. Unlike many of Lovepedal’s offerings, it’s not based off the Electra Distortion. Instead, it draws from the EHX LPB-1 … Read more
