Convincingly tweedy

This is an emulation of a 1959 Fender Bandmaster (5E7). And it is among the most realistic tweed emulators I've heard. It's based on three-stage Zener diode clipping, giving a more tube-like response than back-to-back diode clipping. The 2 band EQ is subtle, but effective enough. Gain goes from mild colouring to aggressive and quite fuzzy. At max gain, lots of fuzzy bass dominates the signal in a nicely chaotic way, like a real tweed circuit does. With the gain at less than 12 o' clock, this could easily be an always on-pedal, nicely colouring the signal while retaining the top and bottom of the guitar signal.

Not a build for absolute beginners, but not too difficult.

just a heads up, zeners are cool for audio but are notoriously unreliable parts... hopefully you sourced yours from a supplier that has a 'high reliablility' option... although its a 9v box I guess, but still, people should be aware
