The Hotcake and Berries is a distortion pedal based on the Crowther Hotcake. It was designed by Paul Crowther in the mid-70s. The pedal is designed to preserve the original guitar tone while providing fat distortion. It can also be used as a clean boost at certain settings. The Hotcake and Berries features a dip switch that offers three tonal options, including the bluesberry mod which reduces the buzzy edge of the distortion. The build process is suitable for intermediate level builders and is made easier with three board mounted pots. The DIY-friendly design includes a spacious layout with larger solder pads to ensure good solder joints.
