Silktone Green Hell Overdrive Pedal

Seller's description

I only ever liked one setting on the famous green overdrive. So I built a whole pedal around it. I've always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with the Tube Screamer. There's something really special about that focused, chewy, mid-forward overdrive when you've got it dialed in just right. But turn the drive up and, to my ears, things start getting weird. The sweetness gives way to a phasey, odd-harmonic dominated grind that I've never particularly liked. The funny thing is, I really do love the character of the circuit. I just don't like asking it to do much more than the one thing I think it's great at. And I didn't want to "fix" it by changing the clipping diode arrangement and turning it into something else. So I started experimenting with a Tube Screamer and our Expander side by side on my pedalboard, using the Expander to solve the things that bothered me while trying to leave the heart of the classic green circuit alone. Eventually it clicked: Stop asking the Tube Screamer stage to make all the distortion. Instead, I wrapped it in the harmonic architecture of the Expander and a new thing was born. A CLASSIC GREEN HEART. EXPANDED. At the center of Green Hell is the classic mid-focused overdrive circuit, with the character of the clipping stage left intact. What's different is how it gets hit and what happens afterward. Before the signal even reaches the overdrive stage, it passes through a JFET-based second-harmonic generator derived from the Expander. That's where the Gain control does its thing, adding body, texture, and progressively richer harmonic content. The gain and output of the overdrive heart itself is essentially fixed where I always liked it. Its output is then set to hit another JFET stage hard, voiced to behave more like smashing the first tube in an amplifier. Making a tube scream, if you will. That's also where the final Level control lives.. post smashed tube stage a-la expander. So instead of simply turning up the drive on the core circui
