JHS Pedals Kilt Distortion

2-in-1 distortion/boost effects pedal that was designed to exact specifications of the legendary guitarist, writer, producer, and founding member of the famed UK band Delirious - StuG.The left side is heavily inspired by the original and sought after Expandora, but with some major tweaks that bring this classic effect to a new level of tones and usability. It allows for achieving transparent light tube-like breakup, bluesy overdrive, thick natural distortion, and even over the top fuzz from this one box. At the heart of the left/dirt side is a specifically chosen op-amplifier that offers super low noise, improved slew rate for a smoother structure, and a character that just feels better than the original. There are also 3 mini toggles for the left/dirt side that enhance tweak-ability and options even further. The "Cut" toggle provides the ability to cut or boost the low end frequencies. The down position is the stock setting that provides a significant and very useful bass boost over the original Expandora that lacked greatly in this area. The up position is closer to an original Expandora and thinner, hence the term cut. The "G1" and "G2" toggles allow for selecting various forms of distortion via select resistance values that switch in and out in the clipping section of the circuit. This method is very different than the normal diode clipping selectors that can be commonly seen on drive pedals. This provides multiple configurations and tonal options, helping the pedal cover light transparent drive all the way to a fat wall of distortion and everything found in between. The controls from left to right for the left/dirt side are "Volume", "Tone", and "Gain." The right/boost side is a JFET boost with an ever so slight amount of grit and presence that helps in boosting solos or slamming the front end of the left/dirt side to achieve even more distorted sounds. The "Boost" knob controls the volume level of the boost and the mini "Order" toggle allows for choosing between Boost pre left side (switch down) and Boost post left side (switch up). The pedal runs at 9V and has true bypass switching all inside a custom polished aluminium enclosure.
