If there were a Venn Diagram showing the overlap between ‘90s British shoegaze and ‘90s Swedish death metal, Jugendstil would feel right at home in the middle. The circuit starts with a simple, high-gain silicon fuzz section which cleans up extremely well and can even be used as a clean boost at low settings. That’s all well and good, but Jugendstil’s secret weapon is a fully maxed out HM-2 style EQ, labelled “loud” and wired as a parallel blend — use the loud control to blend in as much or as little of the HM-2 sound as you like!  The sweep control (labelled "focus" on these blemished units) controls the center frequency of the mid boost.  Set it around 1 o'clock for the classic HM-2 sound.

Inspired by an overdrive/distortion favored by many guitarists from the Merrimack Valley hardcore scene of northeastern Massachusetts, Riffchild is an excellent way to push a tube amp into anything from subtle boost to over-the-top distortion. It features an active bell-shaped bass boost to add depth without mud and a passive treble shelf for to smoothly add definition and focus. Warning: this pedal is very loud!

Jugendtief is an absolutely savage bass drive for when only the filthiest of bass tones will do.  It features two parallel dirt controls; an overdrive and a fuzz, as well as an HM-EQ with bass friendly frequency curves. There's also trim pot inside to control presence frequencies for all the hackers out there.

Inspired by Rat and Muff circuits and with a new old stock LF351 at its heart, Bad Larry forges its own path through a forest of daggers into a putrid sea of grime.  A favorite around the studio for clanky bass, it's also fun for thick, saggy fuzz tones.   

"Bass" switch affects how much low end is allowed into the clipping stage.

"Clip" switch changes between hard clipping, boost, and bass boost modes. 

"Mid" switch affects the character of the Muff-style tone stack, allowing for the traditional mid cut sound, as well as flat and boosted mid responses.

Onslaught is a simple yet highly useful one-knob distortion for pushing medium-gain tube amps.  It's also an awesome transparent boost for guitar or bass. 

This updated version expands upon the original with the addition of a "Mode" switch.  "B" for boost is the original sound, "D" for distortion adds hard clipping to increase distortion and decrease output, and "S" for sub, which applies hard clipping to only the high frequencies, resulting in a perceived sub frequency boost.
