This is an excellent recreation of the Crowther Hot Cake. It even recreates the sound changes over the years with toggles to bring those modes in. Overall, it's solid as an overdrive and great as a boost as well. Please read the notes below from the creator of the pcb. AionFX is dedicated to recreating old circuits down to their finest details. Feel free to ask me any questions. Find out more on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
Description from the pcb creator:
The Anomaly Vintage Distortion is an adaptation of the Crowther Hot Cake, an overdrive pedal from New Zealand that dates back to 1976. While the Hot Cake has seen many revisions throughout its history, the Anomaly is based on the 2008 revision that includes internal switches for “Bluesberry” and “XLF” (extra low frequency) modes. This version was traced by Aion FX in 2020.
An updated version of the Hot Cake was released in late 2020 and moves the switches to the outside of the enclosure, although according to the manufacturer’s description the “Cream” mode is not the same as the earlier “Bluesberry” mode.
The Anomaly is an identical reproduction of Hot Cake in effect mode, although the bypass mode is somewhat altered. The original Hot Cake uses a relay to disable the gain of the op-amp and deactivate other frequency-shaping filters, transforming it into a unity-gain op-amp buffer. While creative, this approach is overly complicated. The Anomaly converts it to a standard true-bypass configuration.
