The Acorn Amplifiers Mind Killer is a dual distortion device that promises to deliver huge gain tones to any rig. It features two separately stomp-able distortion circuits in series, each with its own bass boost and clipper diode toggle switches. This allows for a wide range of tonal possibilities and a mélange of stackable crunch tones in a single stompbox.

The Mind Killer is designed to provide total obliteration in the form of huge gain tones, making it suitable for a variety of musical styles and genres. Its dual-channel design allows for independent control over each distortion circuit, giving players the flexibility to create a wide range of tones and textures.

The Kakarot Fuzz is a hybrid fuzz circuit featuring one germainium transistor feeding into one silicon transistor which is then sent through a pair of LEDs for boosted clipping. The Kakarot dual transistor circuit can sweep between overdrive, distortion, and fuzz tones with the turn of the Fuzz knob. The Level control adds flexibility to the overall output of the pedal, enabling you to dial in the perfect position of your signal in the mix. Top-mount Switchcraft jacks, robust latching footswitch, and durable 125B aluminum enclosure make the Kakarot fuzz ready to take your pedalboard power level over 9000!

Kakarot Fuzz

Last year we debuted the Transistor MIGFET 50P Preamp, a reinterpretation of the original Sovtek MIG50 guitar tube amplifier in pedal form. The response was amazing. Guitarists rejoiced as the sound of one of their most oft used amps was now available in a convenient pedal package. The one bit of feedback we received from the MIGFET was that users wanted MORE GAIN, so we popped open the hood and discovered a simple yet effective single component swap that delivers additional breakup while retaining the full tonal characteristics of the MIG sound. And thus, the MIGFET V2 was born. The MIGFET V2 uses JFETs in place of the 12AX7 preamp tubes in the original amp circuit. This gives the pedal the compression/sag response of a tube amp when you dig in on your guitar strings. The dynamic EQ has that classic Bassman tone stack shapeability that the MIG circuit employed and allows for a slew of easily tunable sounds. Turn the Volume low and raise the Master for clean preamp tones. Lower the Master and crank the Volume for more gain/breakup.
