Bass Grunge
THIS PRODUCT IS CURRENTLY OFFERED AS A PRE-ORDER ITEM, PLEASE READ THE INFO SECTION FOR DETAILS
A true to form clone of the DOD Bass Grunge, a very simple and easy to dial in distortion, it's hard to get a 'bad' sound on this one. Added hard and soft clipping options for more versatility but otherwise keeping the spirit of the original circuit.
The mix control is unique to most other blend circuits, it sits after the pedal input but before the level volume control which allows this pedal to double as a clean boost when the mix knob is turned all the way counter clockwise.
The EQ control is a gyrator focused on 53 Hz with a low Q value of about 0.5 giving this pedal plenty of low end when dialed counter clockwise.
This pedal includes a signal buffer, a Klon style buffered bypass was added to squash the oscillation feedback that happens with true bypass high gain pedals and also adds signal integrity to a signal chain.
*Note* This pedal runs on a standard 9 Volt centre negative power supply which is not provided, for suggestions on power supplies see the info section.
