StewMac - International House of Overdrive Pedal Kit

Let’s step inside the International House of Overdrive, a new StewMac pedal kit based on the legendary Crowther Hot Cake! This circuit is a unique design going back to 1976 and it put transparent overdrives on the map, since it uses no diode clipping-- like other designs of that era. The controls let you dial in completely flat clean boost that retains your amps natural tone all the way to a silky, fuzz-like distortion and plenty of adjustable mids with the Presence control.
This kit from StewMac returns to an early coveted version, removes the buffer for simplicity and True Bypass and even includes the original LM741 IC plus a TL071 found in later versions so you can explore different op-amp clipping and freq responses.
Highly detailed instructions will guide you through and a tidy layout means very little wiring inside!

Fun Fact: The Crowther Hotcake was invented by Emlyn Crowther, one of the drummers of New Zealand band Split Enz, members of which went on to form Crowded House.

Very soon I plan on buying a soldering kit and one of these StewMac kits. Definitely a fuzz pedal.

Looks like an amazing kit for a pedal that’s hard to find in the US!

I'm in the middle of building their Two Kings kit ((KOT clone). Of course for my first ever electronics/soldering project, I picked the most complicated one they sell. I'm done with populating the board, and wiring the pots and footswitches, now I have to put it all in the box and connect the power and I/O jacks. Then I get to plug it in and see if it works or If I just have a complicated, expensive paperweight.

Awesome demo Andy! As for the VOX headstock, not so awesome. Some good tunes right there, man!

[coryeastman]

I have an original Hotcake. Trust me you want this pedal.

[OtaconNachos]

Hey Andy, how's that Vox SV-622? It's really hard to find any info on it. Does it feel more modern or vintage inspired to you?

Hi Andy, your stringjoy link isnt working. 😢

Stew Mac has a great selection of things but their idiotic shipping policies have me looking Anywhere else first.
