VFE Distortion3

Based on the legendary MXR Distortion+, the VFE Distortion3 is set up to give the sounds of not only this pedal but two others based on the same platform, the MicroAmp and the DOD 250. With the addition of a Filter control for taming the high end and the clipping setups of all three pedals, the VFE Distortion3 is able to accurately reproduce these classic tones with some extra versatility to boot. The Mode switch takes the user between the three original clipping stages, Germanium (Dist+), Diode Lift (MicroAmp), and Silicon (DOD 250). In addition the VFE Distortion3 adds a three-way toggle for OD that provides more clipping options; Asymmetrical, MosFET, and Clean. Both clipping switches are in different parts of the circuit and can be used in conjunction with one another for a plethora of tonal options. In addition to the clipping options, the Fidelity switch changes from a lo-fi 741 op-amp to a hi-fi Burr Brown OPA134PA op-amp. This subtle shift in tonality is just what the doctor ordered for some and will satisfy the modders that like to try different components. Among the myriad of options the VFE Distortion3 offers is an internal DIP switch that selects between Diode Lift and 5mm red LED clipping in the Diode Lift mode. The LED's provide a more natural sounding crunch for the modern player. The VFE Distortion3 makes full use of this classic circuit and its counterparts providing the guitarist with a versatile tone monster of a distortion pedal.
