Touch-sensitive gain with a strong, aggressive, cranked-amp voice

The Skreddy Pedals™ Major Overdrive cleans up well with the guitar volume and has a massive voice like a huge early 70's British tube amplifier.

Has a "brown sound" flavor, kinda like a tube amp that has a variac on the power supply to reduce the voltage slightly.  The tone is clear, focused, and balanced with a beefy low-mid and a buttery high end.  The attack is punchy and cutting, with just enough compression to be chewy and in the pocket.

Thick slabs of rock'n'roll goodness!

Power

Regular 9v negative ground, no special power requirements. 9v battery is not included. If you use a battery, then remember to un-plug the input cable from the pedal’s input jack when not in use to prevent draining (or you can also just plug in a power-supply, which disconnects the battery).

You may supply external power through an AC adapter. All Skreddy Pedals accept the industry-standard 9v DC plug (5.5mm barrel x 2.1mm center coax), negative tip. Please use a quality, regulated, filtered power supply.

Skreddy Pedals Major Overdrive KICKS ASS!!! Thanks Marc Ahlfs !

(Marc:) "It wasn't till the final tweak I made to this circuit that I discovered just how on the nose it covers Van Halen's first album tone."

Barry: "you know, I've heard of that guy. But it does WAY more - great volume clean up, nice touch. It sounds great at many different levels of gain. Just love it!

...

you just have the greatest dirt sense Marc - chewy and yummy. Now I can leave my 74 Mark II in the basement ;^} "
