Guitar players often use stomp box effects pedals to shape their tone. Our two-in-one stomp box effect pedal combines the circuits based on the iconic Marshall Bluesbreaker and Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer Compressor into a single package. The Bluesbreaker is an op-amp based distortion effect while the Orange Squeezer is a transistor-based limiter effect. The Bluesbreaker external controls affect the output gain, tone, and volume of the signal while the Orange Squeezer allows for the control of the output volume of the signal. Our design will allow users to select whether both effects are on, if one effect is bypassed, or if both effects are bypassed.
