The Brittania is a pedal architecture developed by RunoffGroove.com for the purpose of building a sound-alike pedal of the Vox AC-30 with Top Boost amplifier. 1776effects.com developed the printed circuit board(PCB) to match the schematic developed by ROG.

Thermionic Studios has purchased this PCB and sourced the parts necessary to build this pedal. We are in the process of building the pedal and will have more to report upon completion.

Controls

  • Bass
  • Treble
  • Brilliance
  • Gain
  • Volume

General Information

http://1776effects.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Britannia-BOM.pdf The Brittania can be powered by a 9-volt battery, or a tip-negative Boss-style 9-volt power adapter. The transistors must be biased correctly for this pedal to be as accurate sound-wise as possible.

Phase Inversion

Our preliminary look at the schematic indicates that this pedal inverts phase. This will need to be born out by testing and observation.

Pedal Manual

As of this time, 1776effects.com has not issued a separate manual on how to use the pedal. The best reference is either this wiki page, or the build manual which describes the architecture of the pedal

Schematic

Currently available from the manual. We'll post it alone here when we can.
