Effect pedals are used by guitarists to achieve certain sonic tones that are otherwise unattainable from the standard strumming of a guitar. Our product is an analog guitar pedal with an equalizer that houses the Hornet fuzz and BluesBreaker overdrive guitar effects. The Overdrive effect is a soft-clipping distortion while the Fuzz effect is a hard-clipping distortion. Both effects are achieved by driving the operational amplifiers and transistors of each circuit past their output capability. The effect pedal will include the Hornet, BluesBreaker and EQ in a stomp-box enclosure.
