This project began as a custom pedal for guitarist Blake Doyle; Sawyer Hill's lead guitarist. Blake needed a fuzz pedal to recreate some studio tones; in particular the solo tone on their viral hit \"Firestarter\" which is also the pedal's titular inspiration. The latest version of the circuit features a blend control for dialing in some of the clean signal which is perfect for adding back in some of the low frequencies of a low tuned guitar, baritone or bass. The clipping switch allows you to select between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping to find your way to tonal nirvana. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt nails those classic thick fuzz\/distortion tones but the addition of the Choke control allows you to get some truly incredible starved voltage tones. My favorite way to run it is to crank the fuzz and volume and dial the choke \u003c\/span\u003ein to\u003cspan\u003e where the circuit begins to gate and you have the most amazing textured graininess that practically plays riffs on its own.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis brand new pedal ships fast and free cuz that's how we be!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Crotronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556647120954,"sku":"NP-CROTRONICS-FIRESTARTER","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/7064\/4549\/files\/IMG_9294.heic?v=1721582214"},{"product_id":"crotronics-peasants-overdrive","title":"Crotronics Peasants Overdrive","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Crotronics:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crotronics Peasants Overdrive (NES) is our love letter to the famous original version of the Nashville staple, the Nobels ODR-1. We have meticulously copied the entire audio path of the earliest version of the circuit and have used as many of the same components as possible as the original version of the pedal here and made the same way using through hole 1\/4 watt Carbon Film resistors, ceramic capacitors, 100 Volt Metalized Mylar Polyester Film capacitors and Electrolytic Capacitors. We've painstakingly tracked down the original Korean made inline 9 PIN 4558S Op Amp, NOS 2SC2362 NPN Si transistor, NOS Philips BC264 Jfet (which ceased manufacturing in the late 90s), NOS K222E Jfet, K30A-Y Jfet. And while the last two Jfet types are mainly used for the original pedal's bypass circuit, because they're still part of the audio path when the circuit is engaged we've included them here for vintage accuracy. Because the original pedal's bypass mode has some disadvantages to the true bypass method used more commonly these days we have opted for that here despite recreating some of its circuitry where it could still affect the audio path when the pedal is engaged. All those nerdy details aside, the pedal sounds incredible for low to medium gain distortion sounds and can even be used as a wonderful clean boost as a great \"test\" for this style of pedal is to dial in your clean sound and test with the pedal on and bypassed. At the correct setting there shouldn't be any difference as this circuit was originally designed to be a natural sounding overdrive reminiscent of a cranked Black Panel Bassman going into a 2x12 cabinet (quite different to the honkiness of the other green overdrive box that was ubiquitous at the time of release).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brand new pedal ships fast and free cuz that's how we be!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Crotronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556650561594,"sku":"NP-CROTRONICS-PEASANTS","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/7064\/4549\/files\/IMG_9288.heic?v=1721582357"}],"url":"https:\/\/eastsidemusicsupply.com\/collections\/crotronics.oembed","provider":"eastside music supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
