Product Description
Pedal Kit - Mod Electronics, The Saturator
The Mod Electronics Saturator is an overdrive pedal kit that can cover a wide range of gain effects, transitioning smoothly from a massive clean boost to a warm and saturated distortion with the turn of a knob.
The saturation is controlled with the Soak knob, which dials in the amount of symmetrical soft-clipping applied to the guitar signal. When fully counterclockwise, the signal is unaffected and clean. Rotating the knob clockwise will incrementally increase the soft-clipping, morphing from a clean signal through subtle-to-heavy saturated overdrive sounds and straight into distortion territory. The Level knob sets the overall volume of the clean or saturated output. Unity gain is at roughly 8 o'clock. With the Soak set to clean, rotating the Level knob clockwise will increase the level to upwards of 30 dB.
Build Difficulty Amateur (2)
If you have little to no experience, but would like to gain experience by building circuits with a few more components than the level-one projects, this build level should be okay for you. Just be sure to take your time when making each connection.
