The Bulldozer - A Unique Overdrive For Bass or Electric

The Bulldozer - A Unique Overdrive For Bass or Electric


The preamp section of the circuit consists of an op-amp overdrive with asymmetrical soft clipping. This goes into a 3 EQ tone-stack to shape the gain stage sound. Finally, a clean blend is added to retain the low end of your signal


Utilizing the blend feature you can control what part of your guitar signal you want to distort and what part will bypass the distortion circuit all together. Although this feature works well for both electric and bass guitars, it does have a specific benefit for bass players. Bypassing your bass frequencies from the distortion section of the circuit, will retain the low-end bass content of your bass guitars signal producing a crushing bass line.


The PCB is designed for a 125B enclosure, but has been reportedly noted to fit in a cramped 1590B enclosure.
