Description

This dual Op-Amp distortion pedal isn’t subtle, isn’t transparent, and isn’t for the timid – it’s a one-knob monster that will drive your tone from unsettling crunch all the way to devastating doom.

It’s based on the Acapulco Gold and is designed to fit perfectly in a small, 1590A enclosure with everything, including the pot, onboard.

Different to my other pedals, this one has the parts needed printed directly on the board, but here’s a bill of materials for your shopping list:

• 2x LM386 ICs
• 1x 1M resistor
• 1x 68K resistor
• 1x CLR resistor for the indicator LED (I use 4K7)
• 1x 1N4001 diode
• 1x 4.7nF capacitor
• 2x 1uF electrolytic capacitors
• 2x 10uF electrolytic capacitors
• 1x 100uF electrolytic capacitor
• 1x 16mm A100K right angle potentiometer
