Boost of the Dead
Catch all Jerry Garcia style preamp pedal. This pedal contains versions of three buffering preamp style circuits Garcia used over the years.
The first circuit, the toggle, is a take on the Jerry Garcia Tiger Buffer. This buffer cleans up the signal really nicely, it adds clarity and sparkle.
Next, second circuit, the B on the right, is our version of the Stratoblaster circuit. Before the Tiger Buffer was put into Jerry's guitars, he most utilized FET based followers and boosts. This circuit at the lowest setting operates like a follower, and then engages boost when turned up. It fattens up, and can add growl, to both single coils and humbuckers.
Finally, third in line, the G on the left, is a modified Mutron style gain-stage. Old Mutron Envelope Filters are not true bypass, the gain-stage is always in the signal path, and for a time in the late seventies Garcia used the bypassed Mutron as his line driver. This circuit does an excellent job conditioning the signal, is a great overdrive, and provides a different tonal character than blaster type circuits. This circuit is a little warmer, thicker in the middle, and has less overall grit than the blaster style buffer boost... but is just as loud!
Jacks: In on the Right, Out on the Left
Toggle: Tiger Style Buffer
Right Knob: Blaster
Left Knob: Mu Gain
Right Footswitch: Blaster Style Boost
Left Footswitch: Mu Style Boost
This pedal does not pretend to make you sound like Jerry, is not a part for part clone of any other pedal, and doesn't guarantee anything to anyone... I built this for fun, and it should be used to have fun.
Industry standard 9vlt jack, no wall wart included, no battery option.
