³²OD pedals - "batch B"

Post by laurie » Wed Jul 28, 2021 2:26 am

I'm slowly putting together the next eight ³²OD pedals - call this "Batch B". I had 20 PCBs originally made, and this batch is to use them up.

If anyone would like to reserve a pedal, please let me know.

Hi Laurie, By chance so you have any demos of the pedal?
Also what is the cost?

Thanks, Josh

Here is the ad I've put on my local kijiji that summarizes the 15 page thread...

These pedals are a new design, hand made made here in Calgary - there is nothing like this available anywhere else. See the block diagram for how it works.

The pedal uses five (5) vintage Germanium transistors to give a soft overdrive. From 0-to-7 on the drive knob you get overdrive. From 7-to-10 the design adds germanium distortion giving almost a fuzz when the drive knob is maxed.

The "add clean" works a bit like the Klon Centaur - in the Klon the clean signal is mixed automatically by the Gain knob (you can't control it separately), but in this pedal you can choose how much clean you want. By maxing the clean and minimizing the overdrive you get a slightly dirty boost - perfect for driving a tube amp.

The Baxandall EQ is the same style EQ used in the old Boss FA-1. It is hugely musical.

The jacks are Neutrik. The pedal is 3PDT true-bypass. The build quality is excellent (I have been building pedals for decades - I designed and built all the original DingoTone pedals).

For the schematic and full design description paste this into your favorite search engine:
"The 32 OD Pure Germanium Overdrive pedal - design and build in words and pictures"

These eight pedals are the last ones I will be making.
