Our Flagship guitar pedal: An all-Germanium two-in-one knockout punch of classic boost and fuzz. YOU. NEED.

Q: JDM Cascade Tremolo Pedal

The JDM Pedals “Cascade Tremolo” is not just a tremolo, but also an “amp-in-a-box” pedal, giving you sounds very much like a Fender Princeton Amp, or other vintage tube combo with tremolo. We’ve designed the pedal to be VERY reactive to your playing. Not only do the cascaded MOSFET preamp stages provide a tube-like sensitivity to your playing dynamics, the tremolo also reacts dynamically - crank it and hit a chord and the tremolo “ducks” the chord before swelling up again, letting rhythm parts come clear when you dig in. Pick lighter, and the tremolo comes through- this is JUST the way the great old tube combos “feel” when you play. The master volume and double-speed switch make possible a wider range of overdrive sounds and tremolo effects than a vintage amp can do, especially at modest volumes! Our pedals are hand-assembled, feature true bypass, and use top quality components throughout. The MOSFET preamp and output stages provide high input impedance and low output impedance, keeping the tone clear and present even with long cable runs.

Q: JDM Pedals "Elektrika" - Limited Edition Mullard "Red Dot" OC42 - Units #25-50

JDM Pedals "Limited Edition" Elektrika These have been by far our most popular pedals, and the search is on to find the proper vintage germanium transistors to get "that sound". This run is built using incredibly rich sounding and at the same time low leakage & stable OC42 Mullard transistors. These are the coveted "Red Dot" Mullard transistors, which have a red dot on the metal cover over the glass tube, and a white collector dot. These are very quiet when your volume is turned down, and create a rich fuzz when cranked - a hair less gain than the Valvo Black Glass, but trading that "hairiness" for a rich, 3D clarity. Features: All vintage Mullard OC42 "Red Dot" germanium transistors. Internal analog voltage inverter, allowing power standard +9vDC, center negative ("Boss Style") power supplies for easy integration into modern pedalboards All of our Tonebender MK1 mods, as featured on the Elektrika (Gate & Tone controls, Fat/Tight Switch) Gold Hammerite finish, hand printed black silkscreened graphics joe

Q: JDM Pedals "Elektrika" - Limited Edition Mullard/Philips "black glass" OC45 - Units #01-25

JDM Pedals "Limited Edition" Elektrika - OC45 This run is built using Philips/Mullard OC45 transistors, and tonally these have shown themselves perfectly suited to the Elektrika circuit. Lower noise than the OC44, with gain characteristics closer to the OC75, these fall neatly "in the middle" of those two pedals. An optimal all-around perfect fuzz for stage and recording. Features: All vintage Valvo/Mullard OC45 "Red Dot" germanium transistors. Internal analog voltage inverter, allowing power standard +9vDC, center negative ("Boss Style") power supplies for easy integration into modern pedalboards All of our Tonebender MK1 mods, as featured on the Elektrika (Gate & Tone controls, Fat/Tight Switch) Gold Sparkle finish, indelible UV printed graphics joe
