Emma Reezafratzitz - Clone

Made an Emma Reezafratzitz for Ivy van der Veer. This pedal is a 6 pot distortion, even though you can count 7 pots. With the pots you can dial the level, bias, gain, tone, bass and mid.
The 7th pot is decoration. Before it was decoration, it was a blend knob. We’ve wanted to have a blend function on the pedal, but it didn’t work in combination with the Emma. Originally the Emma Reezafratzitz has a buffer bypass, but you can wire it as a true bypass pedal. If you want a blend on a pedal, you need a true bypass pedal. Firstly, I made the Emma true bypass, but it was beeping, noisy and it oscillated quickly. When I wired it like the original it was (almost) quiet, so we decided we didn’t need a blend.
Ivy wanted a sloppy, dirty etch on the pedal, so I didn’t need to sandpaper the enclosure after etching.
