Distortion

Evolution

The Evolution by Buffalo FX is a highly unique and massively tweaked amalgamation of two famous pedals. It is designed to provide light drive to full-on British-style tube amp distortion with articulate mids and the right amount of low end to stand out in a band mix. The pedal features a blend of silicon and germanium components, great dynamics, and touch responsiveness, making it sound and feel like being plugged straight into a cranked tube amplifier. It includes standard drive, tone, and volume controls, complemented by a contour control that allows setting the mid-range response from pronounced to a more flat response. The pedal is true bypass and features top- mount power and signal jacks, high-quality components, and low current draw.

EQ

Carrera Overdrive

The Buffalo FX Carrera Overdrive is a lower gain pedal designed for clean/edge of breakup tones. It adds a slight boost to lower and upper mids frequencies, providing better balance throughout the guitar's notes. The pedal features passive bass and treble controls for a more natural sounding EQ, and it can deliver vintage full-bodied overdriven tones. The technical specifications include: \- 100% Handmade \- True Bypass \- Gain, level, bass & treble controls \- Top mount power and signal jacks \- High-quality components \- Low current dimmable LED \- Requires 9v center-negative power supply or 9v battery \- Dimensions: 120 x 95 x 35mm (4.7 x 3.7 x 1.5") (Enclosure only) \- Power consumption: 7.5 mA \- Input impedance: 1 MΩ \- Designed and handmade using the highest quality components \- Hand drilled and screen printed \- Neutrik fully enclosed panel mount signal and DC jacks (Not board mounted) \- Audio grade through hole components from MMK, Wima, Epcos, Vishay, Panasonic, etc. \- Low noise metal film resistors The Carrera Overdrive is known for its warm treble and percussive low end, reminiscent of a Klon set for clean boost. It is suitable for cleaner single note work with more note definition and dynamics.

Fuzz

18v Power Booster

The 18V Power Booster by Buffalo FX is a pedalboard-friendly recreation and expansion of the legendary Colorsound Power Booster circuit. It offers a versatile range of features and specifications: \- Controls for Gain, Level, Bass, Mild, and Treble to shape the sonic character of the effect \- True bypass operation \- New external switch to select “Hot” (factory default) or “Mild” gain headroom \- New Mild control - only active when in mild switch mode, allowing adjustable lower gain levels to taste \- Dimmable LED, internally adjustable with a hex tool \- Requires a 9-18vDC center negative tip power supply \- Dimensions: 112 x 60 x 31mm / 4.4" x 2.36" x 1.22" (enclosure only) \- Input impedance: 1 MΩ \- BC169 and BC184 transistors \- Current draw @ 9V = 5mA / 18V = 10mA The pedal is designed to provide light tonal grit, hair-raising overdrive, light to medium fuzz, and/or clean to gloriously filthy boost, with bass and treble controls for further tone shaping. It runs on 9 to 18v DC, with 18 volts allowing slightly more gain. The 18V Power Booster is a versatile dirt box that adds new dimensions to a variety of rhythm or lead guitar applications, without overtaking the player’s tone.

Patriot

The Patriot by Buffalo FX is a fuzz pedal designed to deliver a distinctive tone. It is 100% handmade using high-quality materials and low-tolerance components. The pedal features rare Russian diodes to emulate the sound of David Gilmour's lead tone. The circuit is tweaked in all the right places, and it includes internal trim pot to control the huge low end typical of this type of pedal. The technical specifications include true bypass, selected transistors, high-quality construction and components, Neutrik jacks, Vishay/Panasonic/Wima/Epcos capacitors, 5% metal film resistors, fixed internal battery clip, internal low cut variable resistor, Davis knobs, heavy- duty cabling, and low current ultrabright LED. The Patriot requires a 9V center-negative supply or a 9V battery and comes in an enclosure size of 120x94x34mm.

Overdrive and Boost

TD-X

The Buffalo FX TD-X is a handcrafted equalizer/gain booster pedal designed with high-quality components and true bypass functionality. It features gain, level, bass, and treble controls, along with top-mount power and signal jacks. The pedal is equipped with a low current dimmable LED and requires a 9V center negative power supply or 9V battery for operation. Its dimensions are 120 x 95 x 35mm (4.7 x 3.7 x 1.5 inches) for the enclosure only. The TD-X is known for its faithful sonic replication of a well-known valve-powered pedal, with a two-band EQ tweaked for less harshness and fizz at lower volumes. Additionally, it offers additional headroom, allowing it to be used as a clean boost to push a tube amp to its sweet spot or to produce musical overdrive for a natural tone into a clean platform. The pedal is made in France and is a revamped version of the BK Butler Tube Driver.
