This is a pretty standard JFET type of booster which came about as an accident.  I had been making one specific tremolo for a few people (Erick Coleman, Will Adams) who, while they liked the tremolo, seemed more a fan of the boost/preamp that it gave then the actual  tremolo effect.  That isnt really a new phenomenon, though……EVH was known for running through the pre-amp of an echoplex without any echo effect just for some boost.

So at the request of Erick I isolated out the input gain stage, made some small mods to it, and built it as a standalone boost.  Per the man himself it sounds like “Link Wray in a box”.  Thats a lot of hairdo for such a small pedal.

Erick’s was orange and he named it the Orange Droolius, which sounds like a keeper to me.
