Homebrew Electronics FMJ Full Metal Jacket Distortion Pedal
The Homebrew Electronics FMJ Full Metal Jacket Distortion Pedal is a simple, yet effective distortion pedal. Adds all the gain, sustain and output you could want without affecting the tone of your guitar or amp. Even order harmonics, JFET based construction, produces a distortion similiar to over driven pre-amp tubes.

- Input-Instrument in. Unplug when not in use to conserve battery life.
- Out-Out to amp
- 9VDC Jack-for use with - (Negative) center, -9VDC, filtered, and regulated power supply.
- Gain-Varies the amount of distortion. Higher settings may cause noise.
- Level -Varies the amount of output. Capable of driving an amp in to saturation. Sounds best when ran a little above unity. (Louder with the pedal on)
- Tone -Varies the amount of treble or bass. Output is increased with higher settings. Suggest setting it as flat as possible and using your amp's tone controls for EQ'ing
- Boost-Increases the amount of distortion. Similiar to adding an extra pre-amp tube making the FMJ like a two channel tube amp. (Note: a small pop may occur when the boost is switched)
- On/Off-True bypass of effect. (Note: a small pop may occur when effect is switched on/off. This is normal and is a trait associated with true bypass.)
