Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
At its heart, the Joe Gore Gross is a simple one-transistor distortion from the same family tree as the Electra circuit. This simple but powerful effect was integrated into Electra guitars in the late '70s and was later adopted by many boutique pedal manufacturers. For good reason: it's a lively, dynamic and responsive circuit with less compression than most modern IC-based distortion pedals. The transistor raises the level, then the signal hits a pair of clipping diodes, which provide the signature distortion. Each combination of diodes has a slightly different sound. In fact, several boutique pedal companies have based their businesses on creating Electra derivatives with slightly varied diode choices.
