Distortion / Overdrive

Although the Pit Viper has a raw look, the module was built with much love for detail. The OP amp (TLC2272) can be exchanged for other models. Unused soldering points on the circuit board allow musicians who are dissatisfied with the rather erratic behavior of the viper to replace the hand-rolled optocouplers with precision components.

Pit Viper comes equipped with the following control elements:

Toxicity: Gain potentiometer – Please turn up for heavy distortion.
Hiss: Tone knob – Turn clockwise to cut the treble.
Venom: Volume potentiometer
Fear: Three-stage soft clipping switch – Activates normal soft clipping or a more tube-like version with less treble.
Malice: Three-stage hard clipping switch – Activates beefy hard clipping or a spongier version with less treble.
Blend: Dry / Wet potentiometer
Bite: CV input plus attenuator to cut the high frequency range. Without a cable plugged in, the knob can be used for adjusting the treble manually.
Saturation: CV input plus attenuator and on/off switch to influence gain and saturation.
Filter: CV input plus attenuator and on/off switch to control the Viper’s VCF circuit. Via a jumper on the circuit board, users can choose between several filter types:
    Passive clipped low pass
    Unbuffered high pass
    Buffered high pass
    Buffered low pass

Furthermore, there is a trim potentiometer on the circuit board, which can be used to adjust the gain.
