Brownie

OVERDRIVE

Description

The Brownie is an all analog pedal based on the BSIAB circuit (officially licensed). It’s built to mimic a Marshall amp at full tilt so it has a lot of gain and sustain. You get the typical Level, Gain and Tone controls. Pedal can be run from a 9v battery or with a power supply. Oh, there’s a VERY bright blue LED. The circuit uses a JFET to generate the gain and you can switch this out for different types getting more or less gain. I tried the pedal with a JFET that should give it less gain but the difference wasn’t really that big, still, it is a nice feature!
