The basic feature set is the “boost” control (naturally), and the “Range” control (taken from our JDM Tonemaster “EQ” control) which varies from a chunky, full range boost (Iommi/Stoner Rock Style) to a classic treble boost (Clapton Beano/Marc Bolan, etc.)
These pedals are hand-assembled and fine tuned (biased) to perfection; built on a hand cut board using top-quality components.
NO ONE offers a deal like this, especially with OC-series vintage Germanium transistors? Why do we do it? So you'll grab one and get to know JDM Pedals - you'll never look back!
The really cool part is you pick your OC series vintage transistor – the finesse of an OC71? The Classic OC75? The crunchy OC44? We also have OC72, OC83, OC602, and OC304 in stock. After ordering, let us know which transistor you prefer. Email for a full list of what we currently have available.

The
pedals are built battery-only, no power supply connection (we can offer a PSU connection if you prefer). Batteries
will last YEARS in one of these as long as you disconnect the input
cable when not in use (this disconnects the battery). We can add an
optional power supply jack, but this circuit is the classic
Rangemaster-style, and cannot be daisy-chained with other
negative-ground pedals, it is positive ground. Trust us, battery is
enough, and sounds best. NOTE: NPN transistors such as the OC139
allow us to build you a pedal that runs on standard +9vDC center
negative. Again - these are custom made to order, write to us! ( joedocmusic dot com - contact form )
For
an additional $10, add a 3-way top-cut switch (pictured above). This
allows you to shave off some of the highest frequencies, which can sound
a bit “harsh” or “brittle” depending on your amp/speakers. It’s a
3-position switch with center off. The other two positions we set to
“just take off the edge” in one position (can help cut hiss or
interference if you experience it at a gig). The second cut “warms up”
the tone, just right for brighter American amps (Fender, Boogie…).
Alternately, we can set the cut to go deeper, creating a prominent mid
boost. You let us know, we customize.
Drop us a line, and get your tone on!
We custom build these to order and ship from Berlin, Germany - but if for some reason you need to return or mod/repair we will provide our US JDM Pedals address for you to send the pedal to, saving international ship costs.
