Project overview

The Solstice Distortion project allows you to build a clone of the Marshall Shredmaster distortion pedal. The Shredmaster has a lot in common with the Guv’nor / Drivemaster, and in fact the first half of both circuits are nearly identical. However, the Shredmaster has an additional gain recovery stage, and even though the three tone knobs appear to be the same on the outside, the tone stack is very different.
