equalized fuzz?

[Mark Outrage]

I like op-amp overdrive pedals, but hate the midrange spike most of them have.
How hard would it be to hot-rod an EQ pedal, and add another gain stage to each band?
(and maybe do smething similar on the inverting side, or compress at that frequency)?

Why not just follow an OD pedal with an EQ pedal and sculpt the sound you
want?

Another option is an OD pedal such as the Radial Tonebone that has lots of
built-in EQ choices. The Tonebone Classic, which I have, is very flexible
in that respect.

It'd be far easier to build something like an early DOD 250. Very
simple circuit. I put the gray circuit in a reissue yellow case. You
can find schematics, although I think I made a minor change based on a
good hi-res pic of an actual vintage pedal. No tone control, fairly
transparent. Perhaps too transparent for a lot of guys. Lots of boost
available, plus you can dial in anything from soft clipping to square
wave output.
