DIY ugly face+LFO pedal



DIY valve overdrive pedal

This is a very simple circuit that uses a 12AU7 valve, running at a low voltage. Because it is running at such low voltage it is very easy to overdrive.The schematic specifies an operating voltage of 9vThe chemistry geeks amongst you may, by now, have worked out where the inspiration for the name and colour came from.I have yet to print up and apply the decals for the pedal but there’s the standard 1/4 input and output jacks round the back. The top has the valve, a true-bypass footswitch and the power toggle switch. On the front, left to right, are the gain, a dummy pot (filling up a surplus hole in the old enclosure) and the output volume.
