From the vendor

Project overview

Based on Crowther Audio hotcake Designed following the schematic of the 2003 version for a glassier Fenderish character.

Introduction

There is a reason why the Crowther Audio hotcake is around for more than 40 years (first build in 1976). The original pedal was designed to leave the guitar’s undistorted component unchanged while providing a nice fat mid-gain distortion sound without resorting to a treble cut circuit, which will also affect the guitar tonality. Meaning, if you like the sound of your amplifier but want to push it harder, this will be the perfect project for you.

We recommend putting this particular build in front of your guitar amp, not in the effects loop.

Based on the 2003 version for a glassier Fenderish character.
