The Marauder

The pedal uses a standard boss-style 9V power supply. There is internal circuitry to generate a ±15V power supply, just like the original amplifiers used.

Controls include: Pre (gain), Post ("volume"), Master, Bottom, Body, and Edge.  The Bottom, Body and Edge controls are an active boost/cut EQ as on the original amp.  The Pre control acts like the "Supersat" control on the original amp.  The Post control is the volume control.  During the design of the pedal, we noticed that changing the post control to make the pedal output higher also resulted in a change in the tone and character of the distortion, so we added a Master volume control to help keep the tone you like with the post control but be able adjust the output volume.

We kept the Bright switch that was only functional on the clean channel on the original amp.  Also, there is a low/hi gain switch and a shift switch that adjusts the mid frequency for the active EQ.

Each pedal uses a professionally assembled PCB and is proudly assembled by hand in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Other features include:

  -  Soft touch relay true bypass

  -  Power supply over voltage and ESD protection

  -  Powdercoated enclosure

  -  UV Printed artwork

The end result is high quality pedals that sound amazing, are consistent from pedal-to-pedal.

The price is $219US + shipping.
