Amber Overdrive (Handwired)

The Amber Overdrive sits between overdrive and fuzz, designed by Björn Juhl to simulate a vintage fuzz going into a cranked 100-watt Marshall. The circuit runs silicon fuzz into JFET-based overdrive, creating thick sounds whether playing chords or single notes.

Medium input impedance deliberately loads your pickups for smoother tone. This means the Amber works best as the first pedal in your chain. Running a buffer ahead will increase treble and upper midrange, which may or may not suit your needs.

The Drive control allows pickup-volume-controlled saturation at lower settings. The Tone knob is a shelving EQ operating between a bright switch and typical amp treble control. Volume sets output level with enough range for significant boost.

Hand-wired version features point-to-point construction in Finland. Same BJF circuit with premium boutique build quality.
