The Yeti

 

The Yeti is the Monkey Riot Pedals interpretation of the Nobels ODR-B Bass overdrive. Features an active 3 band equalizer tuned for bass along with an independent volume control of the dry signal. The Yeti allows for a wide range of bass tones from subtle tube warmth to full on fat fuzz. Low drive settings yield a tube like tone, reminiscent of an Ampeg SVT or B-15.

The DRY control takes a split after the input buffer and sends it to an output summing amp where it is mixed with the processed signal. Having independent level control of processed and unprocessed signal allows for full parallel mixing - an immensely powerful and flexible technique. This is not a Mix or Blend control that may change your output level or alter your tone.

The Yeti will operate at 9 volts or 18 volts. Higher operating voltages offer more headroom and maintains signal fidelity with extreme eq boosts. An OP275 Op Amp is used for the equalizer section, adding clarity and definition over the more common JRC4558 Op Amp used in the original.
