OVERDRIVE-ACORN AMPS Mind Killer Dual Distortion... 2 classic OpAmp pedals in a box

 ACORN AMPS MIND KILLER DUAL DISTORTION 
$225.00 USD

Something different and something the same. Two OpAmp Distortions in one box. I would expect one is the Boss OD-1 by elimination the other should be the ProCo Rat. But these are just an educated guess.
There are 2 independent circuits with volume, tone, gain a switchable bass boost and a choice of clipping diodes.
CONCLUSION
It is not that the sound is bad. It is just unremarkable. In short a yawn. An off the shelf ProCo Rat has more balz
for $70.00 USD and is aimed at much the same sound.

  1. Hello! A few corrections. It’s two separate distortion circuits based on the LM741 opamp. No tone control as it isn’t needed, for real. And at $225 for a dual pedal, completely hand built one at a time, it’s a steal by any comparison unless you’re buying mass produced pedals on the used market,
