Josh White of JHS is running a new series showing beginners how to make a basic OD pedal by starting with the grandad and the first of all the classic OD's. The ELECTRA. Actually it was not even a pedal but a cartridge that you plugged into the 1976 ...ELECTRA Mega guitar. An LP clone. You bought the guitar than you could buy cartridges for all the basic effects. The OD however was so good that MXR used it with couple extra bits and pieces to make the Distortion+, DOD did the 250 PreAmp. Electro Harmonix did the LPB-1 which predates the first Big Muff. At least 15 other companies also made variations of it. Josh Smith's travel rig is his guitar and an Electra that Love Pedals custom made for him and he has done so for decades. It is his always on pedal.
