A modification of the new DRV2 circuit:

Limited to 100 units

Featuring original art by Karen Schierhorn

The picture is a mock up, but will look very accurate, based on my experience printing the MMHMM20 pedal.

Clear knobs

Have you ever just wanted to express yourself through the art of distortion? I find that music is really helpful for expressing inner feelings, sometimes things that are difficult to put into words. Moo Deng is here to help!

Fully express yourself with this limited edition Moo Deng tribute. Express your inner rage. Current events got you down? Maybe life feels hard. Maybe you’d like to play some angry music, but the regular DRV is a little too “nice” sounding. Express your love of niche meme culture, or of fine art.

This is my first MOD to the new DRV2 circuit. Using LED clipping, it makes the pedal much more clear, less compressed, and a lot LOUDER. I find that loudness is helpful with expressing inner rage. The best way I can describe the sound is that it “punches” “hard”. With the VOL at around 1 o’clock, it’s about where the regular circuit maxes out level wise. The midrange character is also slightly different. Not wildly different, but definitely noticeable. Great for angular type guitar playing, but also has a lot of clarity for complex chord voicing, even more so than the standard circuit.

During the creation of the DRV circuit, I had initially wanted to stay far away from any common or widely used “RAT MOD”. So if you’ve tried this on say, a RAT or a DS-1, you will get an idea of what I’m talking about here. This is a really cool sound! I’d say that this tweak causes the circuit to have lower gain throughout, in the higher and lower settings of the DRV knob, but also adds a certain kind of “anger”.

anyway, snatch one of these up! This is a limited release

Built on a new surface mount pcb designed by John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiements, but this one in particular has a different clipping section, using LED instead of standard diodes.

The low end has a lot more thump to it. The palm mutes are deeper, thicker. A nice fat-ness overall, you know. It isn’t the same sound as the MOD 1 or PROTOTYPE, it is actually the standard circuit otherwise, but there are some changes. The sweep of the CUT knob is slightly different, and is considerably less bright, which I think is kinda nice. You can actually pull the CUT knob back below halfway and it doesn’t take your head off with high frequency content.

These pedals (from this batch) will be hand assembled by Jack and I, in Nashville, TN.

Comes with a limited edition Moo Deng sticker, as well as a 1981 Inventions sticker

Runs on 9v standard (boss style) power. Battery clip or power supply is not included. An isolated power supply is recommended.

As you may be aware, international shipping has been incredibly slow. Due to the state of things in the world right now, I feel that it is most wise to change shipping carriers for all international orders. This will unfortunately cause the shipping to increase, even charging slightly less than actual cost. I am also doing my best to supply international retailers, so hit up your local shop! EU orders will be responsible for VAT taxes, and all countries are responsible for knowing the import tax laws within your country.
