The Touch My Dang Heart Distortion sandwiches a fixed-gain two-transistor amplifier between op-amp input and output stages.

This approach combines the convenience and reliability of a conventional op-amp-and-diodes distortion with the unique quality of transistor saturation and a pre-clipping bass-cut to mitigate (or emphasize) square-wave “fuzziness.” Finally, via a toggle, the user can access more traditional distortion-pedal sounds by adding hard-clipping diodes between the input stage and the discrete amplifier, which in turn becomes a sort of colorful recovery stage.

The Touch My Dang Heart Equalizer combines a powerful, full-range clean boost with tone controls modeled after those found in guitar amplifiers.

The bass and treble controls automatically adjust an under-the-hood mid-range control. The result is a versatile two-band equalizer with an authentically amp-like sound and a consistent perceived loudness across all settings. Finally, a “slope” control adds a quasi-parametric element, allowing users to fine-tune the location of the mid-range scoop and enhance the power of one band at the expense of the other.
