Skreddy Pedals™ Klipper: inspired by the amp that the good folks at Laney designed to emulate Tony Iommi's uniquely distorted sound that he had previously been getting by boosting his Laney Supergroup with a Range Master It actually took Skreddy a while to figure out what Laney's unique tube clipper was doing and how it worked. But then they had an "ah-ha" moment once they figured out it was a voltage-starved, cold-clipping phase inverter. What it was doing was clipping the negative side of the waveform, passing the signal along inverted, and then clipping the negative side again, this time clipping what was previously the positive side of the waveform. So Skreddy designed a circuit to do that using 2 negative feedback transistor clipping stages using tube-amp power rectifier diodes as the clippers and adding a little series resistance to soften the clipping, to make it more "tube" like and less "silicon" like. So they made it work and tuned every part to optimize that big amp sound while still keeping to Tony's treble-boosted character too.
