Great Eastern FX has released the Distortion Filter D312A, a limited edition hard-clipping pedal inspired by vintage circuits, including the MXR Distortion Plus and DOD Overdrive Preamp 250. The device employs three Soviet-era D312A germanium diodes configured for asymmetrical clipping rather than the conventional symmetrical silicon setup, which the manufacturer claims delivers enhanced harmonic richness and complexity.
Production is restricted to 165 units as part of the company's Obsolete Devices series, which builds circuits around rare components. The pedal incorporates a band-pass filter with Frequency and Depth controls, enabling users to achieve sounds ranging from cocked wah effects to heavily filtered tones associated with Queens of the Stone Age.
The Distortion Filter D312A retails for 249 pounds including VAT or 299 euros and is currently available for purchase.
