here is the screaming mimi boost! it is an linear power booster with a switch to toggle between more or less treble in the mix. the k**b is to adjust overall output/volume.

mimi is #7 in the garbage gang series and sort of the last one for now. i may or may not have already made #8 so who knows. that being said there is a plan in the works for a dozen more in the series, so stick around!

now in my reverb shop/link in bio/ hit me up on here if you are interested!

very unofficial demo coming soon!

huge, #6 of the garbage gang, is a throwback to one of the first products made. the confusingly named m**f overdrive is a mild big m**f simplified down to a singe volume k**b. crank up your amp and dial back the guitar volume and you have the perfect rhythm overdrive. take your guitar volume to ten and enter into some fuzz territory. sounds like a vintage tube amp with a worn but warm speaker…in a box! the switch toggles between stock clipping diodes and red LEDs for different tones.

the m**f overdrive was my first pedal and given to me as a christmas gift in 2009. i am very happy to now put one out into the world with a goofy garbage pail kid on it.

here is the bloody mary boost! it is an earthquaker devices speaker cranker with a switch to toggle between different transistors for different amp breakup.

mary, #5 of the garbage gang, is a boost/overdrive that adds grit & boost to your guitar signal without drastically changing your tone, resulting in tube like break up.

here is the stella overdrive! it is a dan armstrong blue clipper with a k**b for volume and a switch to toggle between stock clipping diodes and LEDs for higher/hotter output.

stella, #3 of the garbage gang, is a high gain overdrive with some midrange bite and fuzzy attitude. now in my reverb shop/link in bio/ hit me on here if you are interested!

this was the first proper pedal i ever built almost two years ago. it was such a massive struggle to get it working. after
getting it all together the pedal didnt sound great. even with both k**bs maxed out it was too quiet.

so last night i took out the old circuit and threw in a glitchy octave down fuzz circuit and now it has a lot more personality. while i was poking around i cleaned things up and now it is good to go. i had so many firsts with this build and i am so glad it is up to code now.

im 90% done with the garbage gang and will be posting them up soon, but wanted to situate this pedal before going onto the next step. cannot wait to show you them!
