Myth Effects
The Pettyjohn Electronics Myth is a boutique overdrive pedal handcrafted in the USA, designed to bridge the gap between the legendary Klon Centaur circuit and Pettyjohn’s own Gold plexi-style drive. Often described as a "K-drive that is not a klone," the Myth offers a familiar transparent mid-hump and touch sensitivity while providing significantly more gain and volume on tap than a traditional Klon. The pedal features a sophisticated all-analog signal path with high-voltage power handling up to 36 volts for maximum headroom. Technical highlights include a blend of NOS D9E and 1N34A germanium diodes, Allen & Bradley carbon comp resistors, and Sozo tone capacitors for a smooth, organic response. Users can shape their sound using wide-range sweepable high-pass and low-pass filters, along with a mid-range bell filter. Limited edition versions often include upgraded "mythical" diodes and internal switches for adjusting gain character and high-end flavor.
