A quite interesting one. It is basically an old Tim Escobedo circuit (Punch in the Face silicon/FET fuzz face variant) sandwished between two op amp gainstages. The input cap is only at 220pF, try 4,7nF-10nF to fatten things up a bit. A trimpot is added for easy biasing for the J FET. Stock fixed value is 5,6k.

There was quite some hype and interest in this one a few years ago but it was never fully traced. Obviously it was based on a DAM Meathead but and the product description mentions a low pass filter for the "Low" control. guitarfxservice traced it a few days ago (thank you!) and it turns out that it is a stock Meathead with an input cap selector switch and the "Low" control is basically Pre Gain control. Nothing new under the sun(n) I upload this to demistify it.

These things is getting really expensive especially since it got hyped by JHS and was included as the "XR" mode in their Bonsai pedal. It is basically a YATS/Boss-OD-1 with some value changes here and there and assymetrical soft clipping.

Very close to a stock Soda Meiser but with a ground lift control (Drone) for the transistors.

The last layout of 2022!
Thorpy Fx take on a Rat. An input MOSFET gain stage with a bias control, a fancy high end single op amp and LED hard clippers. Looks fun!

With some modern improvements:
Another Exar box traced by Vitali from Drunk Beaver pedals. I've been curious about this one for a while. It turns out that the fuzz section are a Boss DS-1 derivate. The interesting part lies in the Eq section. The Frequency pot controls both a Big Muff tonestack (with a very deep mid scoop notch) and an active bandpass filter. The Equilize control pans between both filters...
It came out quite big but it will fit in 125b box if mounted sideways.
