The Scream by Madbeanpedals

The SCREAM is an overdrive pedal that is based on a widely used circuit. It allows you to recreate classic sounds and discover new ones. The Version 2 of the pedal features the original HCC circuitry for enhanced tonal options.

The pedal has several controls that shape the sound. The TONE control is an active boost/cut for frequencies above a set threshold. The DRIVE control adjusts the gain, ranging from clean boost to high gain saturation. The LEVEL control sets the output volume, which is affected by the EQ and HCC settings. The FILTER control is a post-gain treble cut that can smooth out or add brightness to the tone. The FAT control adjusts the pre-gain bass response and overall gain character, acting as a variable mid/treble boost. The IMP control sets the input impedance, affecting the dynamic response and top-end sparkle. The FREQ control sets the corner frequency, allowing for a fuller range treble EQ or an airy presence EQ.

The pedal also features the S-L-A switch, which utilizes Variable HCC technology to transition between different drive tones. The A and L positions can be further shaped by an internal DIP switch, offering options for LED tone or clean boost, as well as different levels of asymmetry to bring out even harmonics.

Overall, the SCREAM pedal offers a versatile range of overdrive tones with its various controls and HCC circuitry.
