From Demonic Machines: Weve had this pedal in the works for a while. We wanted to emulate a certain transparent overdrive without emulating the bananas price tags some of them have. What resulted was the Homunculus, the best transparent overdrive for the money. With possessed 1N3666 diodes, this overdrive has a unique character while still paying homage to the transparent overdrive it was kloned I mean, cloned from.
