One Control Super Apricot OD
One Control · pedal
The One Control Super Apricot OD is part of the BJF series of Björn Juhl designs, the Swedish builder whose BJFE workshop is known for refined hand-built drive pedals brought to production by One Control in miniature enclosures. The series spans Tube Screamer-derived overdrives, midrange boosters and amp-in-a-box designs, each voiced distinctly rather than as variations on one circuit. Independent coverage of this specific model is limited, so this description does not assert circuit specifics that sources do not establish.
