Sharkbomb Audio Duck Duck Drive

I built this pedal to replicate tones of Rick Mitarotonda of Goose.

The name of this pedal is a play on words. This pedal is inspired by the Lovepedal Box of Awesome used by Rick Mitarotonda of Goose, hence, the duck duck goose pun. I made this pedal by reverse engineering a Lovepedal SRV Super Six pedal and duplicating it inside one box, as well as beefing up the power supply.

FEATURES Featuring two independent identical channels, this pedal allows for extreme versatility and acheives a variety of unique tones. Whether set to be bright and sparkly or gainy and saturated, each channel adds a unique weight and shimmer to any tone. Each channel has 4 knobs: Level (controls the pedal's output volume), Gain (controls the drive amount), Tone (controls the amount of high-end present in the guitar's output), and Bass (controls the low-end saturation present in the gain). The channel order switch in the middle allows for experimentation with both of the channels.

The Tech I made the boards using surface mount resistors and capacitors; however, I hand stuff the op-amps and diodes to allow for customizability, and I hand-wire the jacks and components for serviceability. As it is a tube screamer derivative at heart, I typically use 4558-style op-amps in them.
