Happiness is a Wide Open Throttle
Ok, this is pretty cool. A guy by the name of Abram Taylor has made a one-off overdrive pedal out of a toy car resulting in a pretty sweet sounding stomp he calls the Wide Open Throttle overdrive. According to the builder, the pedal itself is based loosely on the Tubescreamer circuit, but does have some differences. The steering wheel operates the drive, so fully off can be a clean boost and it adds gain as you make a right hand turn. The Supercharger is a 555 timer circuit, which is only on when the pedal is depressed. The gear shift changes a capacitor between first and second gear. See a video of the inventive stomp after the jump!
