Our Pinkman Special Edition pedals are a way for you to own a super special vibrant pink pedal (who doesn’t love pink pedals?), & for us to give back a little. Pinkman pedals are identical to our standard versions other than the gorgeously gaudy enclosure color. We’ve also transitioned to an even cooler pink, SPARKLE! So the Pinkman pedals are now glittery metallic pink, even more stunning!

St. Jude’s Mission Statement:

The Lord GermFet is an analog dual overdrive pedal for the true tone-connoisseurs of the world. If the Atomic World Ender is a nuclear bomb, the Tyrannosaur MegaDriver is a ferocious beast, the Lord GermFet is a set of hand-crafted, precision chef’s knives made with the finest steel, able to cook up an endless array of juicy tones.
Both individual sides of the Lord focus on the low-to-medium range of the gain spectrum, but together, they are fully capable of some high-gain brutality. Consisting of 2 entirely independent pedal circuits with switchable order, the left side is a true germanium overdrive inspired by the underrated & unavailable TA-100 circuit. By “true” germanium, we mean not just clipping diodes—this circuit uses three vintage Russian germanium transistors to achieve its rich, creamy, downright sexy sound. The tone control acts as a high-cut filter when turned counter-clockwise, & the 3 voice options open up 3 diverse starting points when shaping your tone (Bass, Treble, & Vintage). Lastly, the overall gain can be lowered with an internal switch, & the circuit has been modified so at 100% gain those germanium transistors are pushed a bit harder into fuzz territory.
The right side of the Lord is a JFET overdrive circuit, a variation of the famous Fetzer Valve. It’s an incredibly amp-like, transparent, medium-gain overdrive that pairs superbly with almost any other gain pedal (but especially with the Germ side, of course). With the Presence switch engaged, it can be a useful treble boost to help the Germ side cut through the mix for a solo or brighten the tone of another pedal. It also sounds deliciously thick & thwompy when using your neck pickup—our personal go-to for blues or funk. We think a genuinely versatile pedal should be able to sound great on neck or bridge pickups, & the Presence switch & Voice options assure the Lord is worthy.
Between the germanium mojo, the JFET sparkle, & the infinite tones you can get combining & reversing them, the Lord GermFet is the gift that will keep on giving. A tone-chaser’s dream. A studio musician’s Swiss army knife. A Rock God’s lightning.
The Lord GermFet lives inside a durable yet beautiful sand-texture enclosure with pure aluminum knobs, gold-plated jacks, and a custom solid brass serial number plate. While supplies last, Hangman fx custom LED lenses contain fragments of rare artifacts inside them related to the pedal’s name. The LGF’s lens contains pieces of actual medieval chain mail dating back to the 15th Century.
