Gain Boy
The gain boy is a Freqscene original pedal, based around a modified Harmonic Percolator distortion/fuzz.
It has a MOSFET clean boost in the beginning of the circuit (think ZVEX SHO) that takes the classic Percolator to the next level, with loads of output volume on tap! This also makes this harmonic percolator variant more pedalboard friendly, where as the original circuit had to be put first after the guitar in order to behave as intended. It is also less compressed and more open sounding than the original. A unique fuzz tone!
The input control set the amount of pre-gain and harmonics and the output acts like a master volume.
I have included a mini FAT trimpot on the circuit board (last pic) that you can adjust with a little flathead screwdriver for adding in more low end and fuzz (works well with bass).
• Runs on standard 9V Boss-style power supply
• True bypass
• Handmade one-by-one from conception to product by a human in Vancouver, Canada
