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

With the Circuit Fuzz, Acorn Amplifiers has debuted the first effects pedal that provides a bonus effects pedal PCB right on the face of the pedal. Two for one! Perfect for the guitarist interested in building their first effects pedal or a seasoned tinkerer that mods every piece of gear they own. The removable PCB is a simple boost circuit that can be built into a separate pedal or incorporated into the Circuit Fuzz itself. Build instructions available on the ‘Boost PCB Build’ tab at the top of this page.

The Circuit Fuzz pedal itself is a deceptively simple yet versatile dual transistor fuzz that sweeps between overdrive, distortion, and fuzz tones with the turn of a single knob. Simplicity in design, yet versatility in action - these are the goals of each circuit designed by Acorn Amps and the Circuit Fuzz is no exception.
