The PedalPCB Lamb Chop combines a soft-clipped overdrive path with a modified classic British-flavored preamp. The Lamb Chop exposes three extra controls¹ that were tucked away inside the unit it was inspired by, allowing maximum tweakability.
Controls
- Volume – Controls the overall output volume
- Overdrive – Controls the amount of soft-clipping
- Tone – Rolls off the high end (Turn fully CW to disable)
- Clean – Controls the level of the British preamp signal path
- Curve – Adjusts the corner frequency of the overdrive path
- Filter¹ – Adjusts the tonal spectrum of the clean path
- Presence¹ – Adjusts the high end of the overdrive
- Drive Mix¹ – Controls the level of the overdrive signal path
¹In the original unit the Filter, Presence, and Drive Mix controls were internal trim pots

amazing sound, for guitar and for bass too. Very similar to the real way huge Pork Loin !!

I have built about 30 overdrive pedals and have to say that this and the hang over cure are two of the best to me. Amazing sound. Very tweak able, big sound, clear and defined.

Great sounding drive, relatively easy build. IMO the LF353 op amp is one of the best sounding for drives, smooth breakup with a certain softness, and that combined with the myriad BJTs leads to a very organic sound. The clean blend control is really where it’s at, these should be a standard in all drive pedals IMO. I like to put the gain and blend at about noon and 2 o’clock respectively, this gives it some nice drive texture but maintains all the clarity and dynamics of the clean signal. Overall I recommend

There are lots of great chimey drive tones you can get out of this circuit, and it can make for some scorching hot semi-clean licks. If you’re playing lead guitar in a band it will help you cut through the mix really well. On the other hand if you are playing solo, or playing rythm guitar, its not so great. It completely sucks the low end from your tone, to the point that it is unusable because your low notes don’t stomp and thump and carry. Note that the board layout calls for 1/8W resistors, which are a different size than the standard 1/4W spacing; I used 1/4W resistors but stood them vertically at an angle and it worked just fine. All in all the board layout is very tidy and having all external controls is a helpful change from the Way Huge. Its a good control layout and a nice looking finished pedal, but ultimately it wasn’t for me because it lacks the low end presence I need for thumping dirty blues. Current Draw: 13mA
