Pigtronix OFM

Pigtronix · pedal

The Pigtronix OFM Disnortion Micro combines a 6-stage CMOS overdrive circuit cascaded into Pigtronix's diode-clipping fuzz circuit, with output shaped through a 6-way passive filter network, all in an enclosure under 4 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. A single Gain knob controls saturation for both the overdrive and fuzz circuits simultaneously, a switch selects parallel or series routing between the two gain stages, and a rotary Drive Tone filter switch provides 6 distinct EQ curves. It runs on 9V power with 18V internal headroom for a dynamic, tube-like overdrive response layered with controllable, feedback-capable fuzz.
