The Fool’s Gold is “inspired” by the Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold, which aims at reproducing the sound of a cranked Sunn Model T. I think it is not very close to it (The Coda Effects Black Hole will do a better job), but is is a very nice distortion for doom and stoner rock afficionados.
It is a heavy distortion with lots of bass, with one simple volume control. It is possible to mod it to have a gain knob control (presented in the build doc). The PCB is made for 1590B Hammond enclosures.
High quality PCB:
•
• Gold-plated pads
• Double sided FR4-TG circuit
