Motel

The Motel by Pine Box Customs is a versatile overdrive/distortion circuit designed with a cleaner, more overdriven feel compared to the original. It features the following technical specifications:

- Internal voltage doubling circuit, utilizing a premium chip, taking the pedal from 7v to a high headroom 18v power input.
- Toggle switch for switching between a compressed, hard clipping distortion circuit and a more open, uncompressed overdriven sound reminiscent of tube breakup.
- Extended gain range and special attention to low/high filtering with reduced mid focus, suitable for lower gain and overdriven sound.
- Doubled input impedance to reduce tone sucking and preserve the original sonic features of the guitar, allowing the chip to begin clipping and reducing the need for diode clipping.
- Redesigned buffered output control to act as a post-gain amplifier, providing more gain and volume.
- Controls: VOLUME (overall output volume), TONE (high/low frequencies), DRIVE (overall gain), and TRANSMITTER (toggled up for lower gain, louder, and less compressed circuit; toggled down for a more traditional feel with more gain).
