Revolustortion



b

Designed with the guitarsound of "Revolution" in mind

All jfet audio circuitry laid out after the topologie of the famous EMI REDD 47 tube preamplifier as used at Abbey-Road. Here you have two of those amps, seperated by a gain control and followed by a passive Baxandall EQ.

True-bypass switching
Power requirement 9VDC regulated, arr. 100mA


Overfuzz Sofajams Edition




Limited edition of eleven units.
Developed in colaboration with Chris Noack.
Graphic design by Henner Papies.

Very versatile breathy fuzz from "Satisfaction"- like sounds to blocking-distortion stutter. Swichtable low-boost. Works great with bass also.

Input impedance 1MOhm
True-bypass switching
9VDC operation

Dirty Compressor




Variable-mu compressor for guitar or bass
The compression effect is achieved by shifting the DC-operation point of a Junction-FET. This adds harmonic overtones at the same time.

Input impedance 1MOhm
True-bypass switching
9VDC operation


Overcarsten Overdrive




Built like an amp - sounds like an amp!
Design directly evolved from a tube-circuit. Handwired on tagstrips with high quality components and selected FETs. Special circuitry to achive the same dynamic response as a tube guitar-amp. Now with treble boost- and roll-off pot and switchable low-cut.



Highly touch-sensitive overdrive effect. Soft distortion without unpleasant and harsh treble. Natural compression,  just like an amp with tube-rectifier. Character of the effect adjustable with HONEY control.
A special highlight is the overcarsten at settings where it "just breaks up". Here it provides a touch-response and riches of tone otherwise only known from real amps and at significantly higher volumes.

Great also as clean-boost or as distortion for bassguitar.
