Building Versatility into the Twin Boost: A Buffered Bypass
Creating the Twin Boost’s mostly-clean, characterful boost was just the start. Making it versatile for any pedalboard setup meant tackling the challenge of buffered bypass, from designing a dual buffer circuit to solving power supply interference. Here’s how I approached it.
(re)Designing the Twin Boost Pedal - part 2
After a year of refining, the Twin Boost has evolved. With a compact circuit, a cleaner boost free of hard-clipping, and fresh graphics that align with Hamilton Effects’ style, this redesign brings out the true character of your guitar and amp—especially when stacked with other effects.
Designing the Twin Boost Pedal
The first of my pedal circuit designs features two independent boost circuits—one with a gain control for added grit and the other with a bias control for shaping tone. It offers clean boosts to fuzzy overdrive, making it a very flexible pedal!
