Fanclub select-a-circuit

Tired of spending $150 for a simple boost or drive pedal with one sound? Four of my favourite circuits crammed into one simple-to-use pedal. Just switch the rotary knob to select your circuit.

I spent a lot of time tweaking everything so the output levels of each circuit would be fairly even when switching between them. A master volume knob is included as well to adjust things to taste for your rig. 

Echoplex Preamp: Classic tone-thickener and sweetener. Cascading FET circuitry. Secret weapon of your favourite guitarist. Has a slight breakup when you dig in hard. 

Transparent Boost: Famous op-amp linear clean boost based on the MXR Micro Amp. Super transparent and full sounding. The sound of your setup already, just louder! Perfect for leads, or as a permanent boost to increase signal in a long effects chain.

Treble Booster: My modern pedalboard friendly take on the classic treble booster circuit made famous by Brian May, Mick Ronson, Marc Bolan, Tony Iommi etc. Perfect for brightening up a dark amp and cutting through the mix.

Electra Overdrive: A dirty/fuzzy boost/overdrive/distortion that has the most amount of breakup of the bunch. Very dynamic and cleans up really well with the guitar volume knob. EQD used a similar circuit topology for the Speaker/Special Cranker, Mythos used it for the Golden Fleece, Lovepedal used it on almost of their drives. A classic for a reason. 

Details:

  • All analog circuity
  • Uses standard 9V power adapter (no battery clips on any of my pedals)
  • Silent and durable soft-touch relay footswitch

Exactly what i've been looking for all these years

Johnny McCormick · February 2025

i never really see a pedal and immediately decide i need it, i usually shop out things in that atmosphere and make sure i am getting what i need. however, as soon as i saw the fanclub, i knew it was exactly what i was looking for. i've used analog circuitry rotary analog pedals like the JHS Bonsai before, and while the tube screamer circuits are nice, this to me has so much more variety and use than other pedals in this side of the pedal world. i especially love the versatility of pairing this pedal with other dirt pedals, and with the flexibility of the Electra and the rangemaster circuits in the fanclub, i can go anywhere and play any genre and get most of the way there with this pedal. my favorite pairings are classic things like the micro amp and a fuzz, but i also love using the rangemaster or the echoplex into my harmonic percolater clone. this pedal will almost certainly never leave my board. thanks freqscene!
