The Whimsy Machines Short Stack is a single stage, ultra high gain JFET booster/preamp offering clean amplification to overdrive and warm distortion to murder-your-face amplification.
Two amplifier topologies available via PCB mounted switch. "Half Stack" and "Full Stack"; the latter injects a pair of matched current sources creating an additional +40dB of gain with softer clipping.
Two modes of negative DC feedback for each topology via PCB switch; 'linear' and 'nonlinear' offering slightly different gain and frequency response characteristics.

Thanks for your continued support, and remember, these videos are intended to show off the PEDALS and what they can do, not what a brilliant guitar player I am - there are plenty of shredder videos out there, and besides, I'm really a drummer :)
