I was bored on Buyee which is an auction site for vendors in Japan and come across this Yamaha COD-100 overdrive from the late 80’s best as I could tell. For a whopping $28 (and just as much for shipping D’oh.) I thought I’d take a chance on it so see what it could do given it’s a weirdo pedal that’s not really a clone of anything that I’m aware of. I bought the service manual so I could look into it more in depth but as far as I can tell the MOSFET does the overdrive sounds like in a Red Llama/Craig Anderton Tube Fuzz with a NE571 chip that acts as a compressor. I guess it was one of many attempts back then to simulate a overdriven tube the compression characteristics.
