www.ProGuitarShop.com - Homebrew Electronics Big D Distortion Pedal
The Homebrew Electronics Big D Distortion Pedal is an extremely versatile overdrive/distortion capable of achieving many different sounds ranging from light bluesy overdrive to modified hi-gain tube amp distortion.
Homebrew Electronics Big D Distortion Pedal Controls * Input-Instrument in. Unplug when not in use to conserve battery life. * Out-Out to amp * 9VDC Jack-for use with - (Negative) center, 9VDC, filtered, and regulated power supply. * Gain-Varies the amount of overdrive. * Level-Varies the amount of output. Capable of driving an amp in to saturation. Sounds best when ran a little above unity. (Louder with the pedal on) * Tone-Works backwards from a traditional tone control. Increase the tone control for more bass response. * Bigger-(footswitch) Switches in and out the "Bigger" control. * Bigger-(control) Variable boost gain stage, switchable with "Bigger" footswitch. * On/Off-True bypass of effect. (Note: a small pop may occur when effect is switched * on/off. This is normal and is a trait associated with true bypass.) * 5-Way Diode Select: (left to right) 1- Classic overdrive-tight and controlled 2- More output and gain than position one. 3- More output and gain than position two, increased bass response. 4- More output than position three, less clipping, open sound. 5- Less output than positions one thru four verging on fuzz with slight compression. * Clip: Changes the dynamic response of clipping section. Hard: Increased output, reduced clipping. * Soft: Less output, more clipping. (Will not function on diode select positions four and five.)

  • i have this pedal,the sound is good,can cover many style of playin,but seems so bright n open for me which is not to my taste,i prefer od type pedal like visual sound route 66..btw my big d has been upgraded with burr brown op amp..more warm n rounded but stil bright...closely to my taste right now.

  • HomeBrew continues to impress me, their ODs and other pedals are just top shelf tone!

  • ds1 on steroid!!!!!definitely!!

  • so, why don't you guys just buy a transistor amp? lol

  • yes sounds like a satchurator,

    but has its own things going I really like what I hear here.

  • @Guitarstestdummie I'm not trying to be rude, but this pedal was made before the satchurator was.

  • Gilmore FTW

  • Social D! oh, Nice pedal too...

  • Camile, from the New Orleans Radiators, was playing through one of these last night! Sounds bad ass!!!
