... but I'm building one anyway.

Pure PNP germanium end-to-end. This is a real overdrive with heaps of even harmonics. It isn't a fuzz/distortion/tone-bender/treble-booster. It sounds KILLER in front of my Dr Z amp - the best OD I've ever designed. Heck, the pedal sounds like a cranked Dr Z amp.

And it is negative ground and can be powered from a normal power supply, just like all your modern pedals

I'm likely going to add EQ similar to the FA-1 just before the output. It will be pure vintage awesome-ness.

Now... what should I call it?

Reserve one for me!

That's actually a pretty clever name for it! I like it.

My daughters will like this. They were making some geodes the other day with a crystal kit they got for Christmas

The 3dB point for the pedal should be about 40 Hz. So, yeah. Should be good for bass. I'll post actual test results when the full bread-boarded version is complete later in the week.
