Applause Super Distortion

 A quite rare distortion from late 80s or early 90s. And it is quite an interesting design with three cascaded op amp gain stages followed by hard clippers. The active "wave" control looks cool too...

Schematic is avaiable HERE.

  1. Hello,
    Thank you for the layout!
    Isn't it the same pedal as the Next Distorsion X, under another brand and name?
