Fab Suisse

The Fab Suisse by Tapestry Audio is a small overdrive pedal designed around the classic Blues Breaker circuit and a 3-band EQ. It offers amazing vintage tones and is a low headroom pedal that can be pushed to 10. The circuit combines the front end of a Blues Breaker along with its diodes for soft clipping in the feedback loop of the op-amp. Additionally, it features "Marshall style" 3-band tone controls. The pedal includes LEDs in hard clipping mode, which produce a more open sound with more headroom and less compression, as well as a soft clipping mode. The toggle switch, being an on/off/on, enables the clipping elements to be disconnected from the circuit altogether, providing a third option which is no clipping mode or boost. This mode has the most headroom out of the three with the distortion coming out of the op-amp by itself.
