Verzerrer

The Verzerrer by Fredric Effects is a highly tweakable recreation of East Germany's only distortion effect, the Bohm Trickverzerrer, utilizing original old stock transistors and diodes. Originally produced in the 1960s and 70s, the Bohm Trickverzerrer is known for its somewhat abrasive and characterful distortion, albeit lacking practicality due to its use of 5-pin DIN connectors, a plastic enclosure, and trim pots that required adjustment with a screwdriver.

The Fredric Effects Verzerrer addresses these limitations by using original components and adding practical features. It features externalized trim pots, an input gain control, and a series of DIP switches on the circuit board for further adjustment. This allows for enhanced customization and usability compared to the original Bohm Trickverzerrer.
