New in late 2018 : Drive knob option.
The optional DRIVE knob (on the right) is exactly the same as standard Bad Bob when turned up all the way. The pedal adds a bit of dirt. You can turn it down to get a cleaner sound. Down all the way is a totally clean boost. Like many pedals, the drive knob has a voltage on it, so it will make noise when you turn it. You won't be turning it while playing so it's not an issue. You can also get clean sounds by turning your guitar down on any Bad Bob.
In 2010 Analog Man started to build these ourselves after taking them over from Robbie. See Buyanalogman.com for more info on our versions, exactly the same circuit as Robbie designed and built, using the same FET testing and sorting procedures.
The Bad Bob pedal is one of the best boost pedals available. It's a booster based on the famous and much copied mini-booster "JFET" design of Jack Orman (check out his site to learn more). This design was also used as the basis for most other boutique boost pedals but without credit or payment. We still buy the boards from Jack, so he is compensated for his work.
We have been using new Old Stock (discontinued) Fairchild 2N5457 FET transistors, selected for low noise and high gain. Now, we mostly use the current 5457 which is only made in a SMT (surface mount) package. They are made by ONSEMI who purchased Fairchild, so the part is the same except for the smaller package, and they are MUCH more consistent than the old ones, most of which we can't use as they have too low or high gain.
Bad Bob is a class A booster that is capable of driving your favorite tube amp into tonal nirvana! With well over 20dB of gain, the Bad Bob fattens up even the cleanest high powered tube amp.
Do you use a lower wattage amp already on the verge of breaking up? The Bad Bob pushes it over the edge to obtain rich sustain.
Do you like a vintage or modern 30 Watt Class A tube amp cranked to the hilt? If so you will love the Bad Bob...
Here are some of the features:
- Cast aluminum enclosure with baked-on silver powdercoated finish.
- True bypass switching with special wiring to minimize external noise.
- LED indicator.
- 2.1mm DC power jack for use with most standard regulated 9VDC adaptors (Boss PSA-120 or Voodoo Labs PP2 recommended).
- Low power consumption! Under 1mA when off, under 3mA when on, no IC chips, so battery will last a LONG time.
- Capable of running at up to 18VDC for a cleaner, punchier tone with more headroom!!
- Awesome after fuzz pedals to add more focus and cut
- Awesome after tube screamer type pedals, brings some low end back.
- Metal Film resistors and coupling capacitors for optimum tone.
