NPD Griffin Analog Paradrive

so I’m freaking loving this pedal from Wayne - here’s a quick and dirty clip with my Masterplex. You can tell by the start I don’t do much gain from the amp. Pedal is super versatile, this clip is the kinda tone I gravitate to, i know not for many people here lol but either way here it is!!

Nice clip! It's very open sounding....works nicely for your style D. I love Waynzo's stuff. 2/3rds of my board came from his hands. Congrats on the new gear!

hey thanks man!! I’ve got a Chiron too and a couple others, I think this is my fave!

What's is based on?

Wayne!!! need some details lolol He said it was a pretty unique circuit.

That sounds fantastic!

It's based on a pedal from the early 80's from Pearl ( as in the drum company ) it's the Pearl OD-05

The OD-05 has a standard feedback-diode clipping stage like a Tube Screamer, but the magic is what
comes in front of it: a parametric equalizer that allows either a cut or boost of up to 15dB in a range from
100 Hz to 4 KHz.
With this flexible preclipping EQ, you can get some incredible sounds out of it. You can crank the mids
for a cocked-wah sound, or tune the circuit to enhance the resonant peak of your specific guitar and
amp. You can even get a scooped-mids sound if that’s what you’re after, something that’s pretty rare in
an overdrive.

I remember this now. That's pretty sweet. My only beef with the design is Pearl didn't include any mini-toggelz in the circuit.

thanks man!!

 

[Wayniac3]

Sounds great!

Sounds great!

thanks!! It’s got a great feel too

Whats the big secret
How do i browse your inventory
How do i order

Im guessing the griffin site i found isn't you lol

anything I ever post is available ..... I have several PCB's fabricated at once .... so I always have the ability to build more

so your best bet in all honesty is just search me on here ... I've got stuff posted in the manufacturers section .... there's a couple of threads in the classifieds ...

if you're interested in something that I haven't built ... if it's analog ... and I can find a reliable schematic for what ever it is .... I can build it

I use all high quality parts in my builds

cost depends on .... do I need to fab a PCB ?? Custom graphics ?

the wait time is always depends on the time it takes to get the enclosure drilled , powder coated and UV printed

Might be good to make a full master list in a thread one of these days. Maybe list things in order from the most mini toggelz to the least amount of mini toggelz. I dunno, maybe just grouping by pedal type would make more sense but I guess it depends on whether potential customer is a mini toggel appreciator. I'm def biased I guess.
