Green Pony
The Build Your Own Clone Green Pony is a meticulously crafted overdrive pedal that pays homage to the legendary Maxon OD-820, a revered sibling of the iconic Ibanez Tube Screamer. What sets the Green Pony apart is the thoughtful attention to detail that BYOC has poured into this circuit, making it a must-have for discerning guitarists. At the heart of the Green Pony lies the Tube Screamer's beloved distortion engine, but BYOC has taken it to new heights. They've added a versatile NORM/THIN/FAT switch to shape the bass response and gain, as well as a clever LED/NONE/Si switch that allows you to sculpt the clipping character. The result is an overdrive that can seamlessly transition from a transparent boost to a thick, saturated crunch, all while maintaining exceptional pick sensitivity and clarity. But the real magic happens when you dive into the pedal's internal circuitry. BYOC has made thoughtful modifications, including an asymmetrical silicon clipping circuit and a tweaked low-pass filter that tames the dreaded mid-range hump. The inclusion of the JFET input buffer from the BOSS FA-1 PreAmp further enhances the pedal's jangly high-end sparkle, making it a perfect match for both vintage and modern rigs. Whether you're a die-hard Tube Screamer fan or simply seeking a versatile, tonally-rich overdrive, the Build Your Own Clone Green Pony is a pedal that will captivate your senses and inspire your playing. It's a meticulously crafted tribute to the classics, with a modern twist that will have you reaching for it time and time again.
