Overdrive

Boost

Klon-based transparent overdrive with germanium/silicon clipping blend, clean mix, +12dB boost, and 4-band active EQ.

The Aquaria V2 is the updated version of Lichtlaerm Audio's Klon-based transparent overdrive with integrated boost and 4-band EQ.

Core drive circuit uses the Klon architecture with a Dynamics mini-pot (replacing the V1's toggle switch) that blends between germanium and silicon clipping diodes. Gain sets input drive, Level provides up to 6dB output boost, Tone sweeps a high-pass filter, and Blend mixes clean signal in parallel. The Boost circuit adds 12dB through its own EQ footswitch.

Four-band active EQ (Bass, Lo-Mid, Hi-Mid, High) with +/-16dB per band and non-interactive constant-Q filters. Internal 27V charge pump. 10 total controls. 9V DC, 100mA. SmartRelay switching. Handmade in Berlin.
