DISTORT – Transistor Distortion Pedal
3
Description
DISTORT is a completely new 4-transistor overdrive circuit. It does not employ diodes or
transistor saturation to produce clipping, but rather transistor cutoff. Based on my 1995
"gamma" patent, it uses a differential pair at its core, supported by a pre-gain buffer and
DC servo. Clipping is clean and smooth, almost tube-like. By turning down input DRIVE,
you can use it as a high-gain clean boost.
