Custom plug-in Distortion module kit

Experiments in Distortion – Unleash Your Inner Tone Alchemist

Beyond the core clipping options, the Pro-Modular TODP unlocks a universe of distortion possibilities with its “Experiments in Distortion” daughter boards. These boards let you delve deep into the nuances of clipping diodes, offering a level of customization unmatched in the pedal world. Craft your perfect distortion by mixing and matching components, exploring different characteristics, and discovering the perfect sound for your playing style.

  • Germanium vs. Schottky: Experiment with the subtle compression and warmth of germanium diodes (D9A, D9L, D9K) or the faster response of Schottky diodes (BAT85).

  • Ge/Schott Stacking: Increase the compression or volume, with single or double stacking options.

  • LED Clipping: Discover the expressive qualities of various LEDs, from the warm clipping of red to the later breakup of blue, with options for low, medium, and high brightness.

  • Material Choice: includes RoHS-compliant parts for the TODP.  Explore the differences in component characteristics.

  • Mix It Up?: The world is your oyster.

These boards are designed for the adventurous tone seeker and for use with a range of projects, including the Real Tube Experiment Board Dev Kit, for the serious experimenter.

The result is a truly unique and personalized distortion experience.

Key Features:

  • Highly Customizable: Offers extensive options for diode selection, stacking, and LED choices.

  • Sonic Exploration: Encourages experimentation and discovery of unique distortion textures.

  • Professional Appeal: Appeals to musicians who value customization and precision.

  • Flexibility: Use the Mix-It-Up feature to add some variance in symmetry.

NOTE: You may not sell your TODP with non-RoHS components inside within the EU, EEA, or UK
