Pedal Markt — Lizard Kisses, overdrive pedal kit

Lizard Kisses is a color and texture device. With different clipping and brightness options, it can act as a boost, an overdrive, or a distortion. It stacks well with other pedals, responds to your playing, and is a classy beast all around!

The kit includes all the parts required to build a pedal, plus extra sockets, a few extra diodes and capacitors in case you'd like to experiment with your build! 

Get documentation for the kit here.

Lizard Kisses is also available as an assembled pedal here. Or a workshop, they are scheduled regularly here.

Enclosures for Lizard Kisses and other pedals in the Beastly Series were designed by Agata Fiz.

The pedal was originally conceived for the workshops at Pedal Markt. The intention was to make it as easy to build and customize as possible.

The circuit is based around a discrete operational amplifier. Discrete means it’s built out of single transistors, as opposed to an integrated circuit aka a chip. You can find the schematic and the circuit breakdown in the build document.
