Overdrive Pedal: An overdrive guitar pedal is kind of like a less harsh distortion pedal. Technically speaking, whereas a distortion pedal clips an amplified waveform at a particular height, the overdrive pedal actually rounds the top of the clipped wave. While thi…

For sale we have a Tru-Fi Colordrive Overdrive pedal in Seafoam Green finish. Hand built in the USA in 2021. The pedal is in excellent used condition showing very little wear. There are one or two pin head sized dings in the finish and some light scuffs on the bottom plate, aside from that the pedal is nice and clean. The Colordrive is a handmade recreation of the famous Colorsound 9V Overdriver made famous by Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Marc Bolan and many others in the 1960's. The pedal features controls for Treble, Drive and Bass as well as a volume control on the side, true by-pass, On/Off LED and is powered with a 9V negative tip power adapter or 9V battery (neither included). Will be properly packed with care and shipped priority within the continental U.S. Thanks for looking.

I've seen a few designs out there that starve a tube filament to maintain a low voltage and still provide nice results. The Matsumin Valvecaster is one of them. For those afraid to work with tubes due to high voltage (cue Electric Six, "Danger! High Voltage!"), this keeps the power at safer levels. It also allows a 9v battery to be used (or 12V) but will consume them fairly quickly... so an AC adapter is recommended. The design is nice and simple, and for beginning builders it's not too hard to follow the circuit visually. There are a couple of variations floating around, so if you're looking at multiple schematics or diagrams, be aware that they aren't all the same. Other builders have created their own unique pedals based on this design, but the values of the parts are different, so again, be aware ;) Matsumin Valvecaster schematic from hgamps My favorite diagram/illustration was from David Smith. The input and output jacks are included as well as the 3PDT switch to bypass the circuit. David's illustration is intended for a turret board, but if you prefer point to point it's still easy to follow. Be sure to note the orientation of the 3PDT switch, it won't work if it's oriented differently (i.e. twisted 90 degrees). David Smith's diagram offers an easy-to-follow layout Here's another diagram from Stompboxed, it's a little harder to follow but still helpful. Another diagram for reference. You'll probably want to use one of the larger Hammond 1590BB (or Hammond-style) chassis as I don't think trying to shoehorn this into a 1590B would be terribly easy. The 1590BB is available from the usual suspects, Mouser, Digikey, etc. in a variety of powdercoated colors. You can also go to Mammoth Electronics and get some much cooler paintjobs for a few more bucks, or go crazy with some waterslide decals... the sky is the limit. For this project I went with a purple Hammond 1590BB ... you can almost taste the grape looking at it. These are cast aluminum, so you need to treat them a little more gently than something that's extruded (e.g. try to do more drilling on the drill press rather than punching holes). Punching out the holes with a tool can sometimes take away more metal than you anticipated. I used larger Alpha pots in this build as I had them in the work-bin. CTS, Bourns and PEC also make good pots, and if you want to check out surplus, Clarostat and Allen Bradley are also great choices. The ceramic 9 pin tube socket is set against the chassis with a rubber "o" ring which can help quash microphonics. It's overkill for this build, but I had it in the bin. Beltons are cheaper and work great as well. There is a corresponding PCB to be used with CNC tube socket as the solder tabs are quite small to solder accurately. These can be found on Ebay by searching for "9 pin PCB", and Partsconnexion also carries them. The Russian PIO caps are a little on the large side and have metal shells, so they need to be carefully placed so they don't short any leads. They can also be covered with heatshrink. PTFE (teflon) tubing is placed on bare leads to ensure they don't short either. Also space needs to be given to the open-frame Switchcraft 11 1/4" jacks so they don't bump into any parts or wires when being inserted. Using different colored wire during the wiring process can help you visually follow the circuit if it doesn't work upon plugging in for the first time. Having a rat's nest of the same colored wire makes things much more difficult. Valvecaster wired up point to point On top of the chassis a tube shield will be installed to protect the tube from an errant foot. You can find these in a number of anodized colors from Angela.com. I thought the gold looked nice contrasting against the purple. Top of the Valvecaster with Tube Shield off... ...and tube shield on Hope you enjoyed the build process of the Matsumin Valvecaster Effects Pedal. You can see it's pretty easy to build a great effects pedal without a PCB and just a few parts. Remember to use good quality parts like Switchcraft 1/4" jacks, Alpha or CTS potentiometers, etc. to ensure your new pedal lasts a good long while.

While I know we've posted this previously, I found this layout to be one of the more useful ones. Look into our archives / previous posts for more Valvecaster layouts. Power source I was getting better results with 12v 1A, see Garth's 24v version below. -K Another idea is to incorporate a boost of your own choice (i prefer the alembic stratoblaster) and hook that up before C1 . This gives the pedal an extra boost to the circuit so it distorts more. I would use separate pots for this, not a dual pot.

Here's a simple one-knob drive that's ripe for modification. It uses an interesting combination of one NPN and one PNP silicon transistor stacked together. There are a few different values you can tweak to taste. Here's a schematic for reference: The input capacitor (C1) could be increased for more bass. C2 could be increased to 47-100µF for more drive. The output capacitor (C3) could be decrease for more treble. R5 could be replaced by a 10-20k pot, lug 1 going to ground. C2 could then be moved between lugs 1 and 2. This would act as a gain control (much like in a Fuzz Face). R3 (trimmer) could be moved off-board as an alternative bias/gain control. I haven't tried these modifications, but they should do something interesting. YMMV

The Herculean Deluxe Overdrive is latest member of the Mythos lineup of drive pedals. Combining a revised version of the Herculean and Runestone circuits, this two-in-one pedal gives you a huge variety of sounds and can be your standalone drive for nearly any gig. This is your drive section. The Herculean side is voice to be reminiscent of the iconic "D-Style" amplifiers, with it's Clarity and Bass controls you can have thick syrupy leads, clear and defined boosted tones, or smokey low gain sounds. The Runestone side is their take on the classic BB circuit. Unlike most versions of that circuit, the Runestone has plenty of output and has been tuned so it truly is "transparent". Keeping your guitar and amps personality intact, its Voice knob allows you to shift the sound from bright/brash to mellow and smooth. The face of the pedal features an order switcher that allows you to change which circuit comes first in the signal path. Both sides of this unit operate independently from each other to create interesting stacking combinations. Internally the Herculean Deluxe Overdrive has a 4-way dip switch allowing players the choice of 3 clipping options per side. The Runestone side features no clipping, soft or hard clipping and the Herculean features no clipping, stock soft clipping, and "Zen" Mosfet/NOS Germanium diode clipping. Lastly the Runestone side has an internal Presence trimmer to further shape the top end for maximum flexibility.

Noble Screamer Overdrive and Boost Imagine the ability to combine the best and defining characteristics of different overdrive & boost pedals in order to create hybrid sounds no one has ever played through before. That is exactly what we've engineered with the Noble Screamer. It’s a 4-in-1 pedal that gives you two very familiar drive circuits and two brand new amp-like overdrive and distortion tones. It’s almost like pedal-modeling, except these are 100% analog circuits, and you decide which tone-control or clipping-section you want to play through. Toggle between battle-tested, classic overdrive effects or innovate your sound using new hybrid tones; let your ears be the judge. Even with all of these features, the pedal remains a user-friendly three knob overdrive. The innovation in the Noble Screamer doesn’t end there; our new design features true-bypass or buffered, truly silent switching, on the fly. Tone Control Broad Spectrum Tone Control or Narrow Focus Filter Control: The Noble Screamer gives you two tone control circuits to choose from. Go from a flat EQ to an EQ that has a boost in the treble and bass response, or engage a Low Pass Filter that rolls off the high frequencies only. Diode Clipping Hard or Soft Clipping: The Noble Screamer gives you both styles of diode clipping. Diodes are used to create hard clipping distortions or smooth overdrive sounds. Hard Diode Clipping brings an edgier, more aggressive tone, while Soft Diode Clipping sounds like a tube amplifier softly overdriven. Both Buffered and True Bypass The Keeley Noble Screamer features our Vitamin K Infused Buffer for noise free switching. This amazing sounding buffer not only makes your rig sound better, it gives you silent switching with no tone loss. No more pops and clicks to distract from your music; let your music be the only voice. A 4-in-1 pedal that gives you two very familiar drive circuits and two brand new amp-like overdrive and distortion tones and a user-friendly three knob overdrive New design features true-bypass or buffered bypass Tone Switch toggles between a “Spectrum” tone control and a Low Pass Filter tone control Drive switch offers “Hard Clipping” Overdrive or “Soft Clipping” for tube amp-like breakup 100% analog circuits
