There are thousands of overdrives out there — so why make another one? Because I love guitar pedals. I love their nuances, their quirks, their ability to inspire something new. The Baker’s Dozen isn’t here to reinvent the wheel — it’s here to be one you’ll actually enjoy spinning. Built on the foundation of a classic op-amp clean boost, the Baker’s Dozen adds a few carefully chosen tricks:
• Flat EQ response that plays well with any amp
• Plenty of low-end for fuller tone
• Tone control to tame the high-end
• A master volume to let you scream quietly — or whisper loudly It goes from transparent boost to medium-gain growl, always retaining touch sensitivity and harmonic detail.
The shape might remind you of a '90s classic - but this isn’t a clone. I designed the enclosure, knobs, and even the footswitch from scratch. Every part is made to echo the vibe of the old Marshall pedals, while fitting better into today’s crowded pedalboards.
It’s smaller, sleeker, and solid - built from aluminum, made to last, and more pedalboard-friendly than its chunky ancestors.
But it does require a center-negative, 9V DC power supply. No room for a battery in here — sorry!
So… does it sound good? That’s not for me to say. To some players, it might be the best overdrive they’ve ever plugged into. To others, maybe not their thing. That’s the beauty of music - it’s subjective. All I can promise is that I’ve put everything I’ve got into this: years of late-night soldering, design iterations, self-teaching, and one stubborn belief that making something meaningful matters.
