BLAMMO! Electronics Shrew Pedal
The Shrew is our take on a classic opamp-based distortion circuit but with a few modern upgrades and a bit more tonal flexibility. Here’s what we did: slimmed down the enclosure, beefed up the power filtering, upgraded the footswitch to a relay-based true bypass system that doesn’t click, added an optional noise gate, and then modified the clipping section for more colors.

The noise gate is designed to quiet the hiss, and hum heard between notes or when not playing, which is inherent to high-gain circuits. It also adds a snappier attack under the fingertips, which is great for faster players. The ‘CLIP’ knob controls the hard clipping diodes that, when set far left, offers the symmetrical option employed by two germanium diodes (D9J and 1n34A) and an asymmetrical option when dialed all the way right side that uses an LED.
