Mini Leo Tweed voiced overdrive.  Continuing the Daughterboard PCB style with our favourite settings from the Big Leo hardwired in. We've incorporated the boost into the gain control so you have high big headroom cleans all the way to smashed tweed, saggy overblown craziness. All powered by a pair of 1979 Phillips Silver-face BC549c transistors. We have also switched to Vishay resistors for this circuit as frankly, they look SO ~#>:* cool!

We've also added a tone stack between the transistor stages, which creates something between a tone and a filter control, which makes the pedal super versatile. For the circuit nerds among you, this is actually the range control taken from our 108Master treble boost with some slightly different component values.

There are literally no dud tones on the dial.

Izzy builds these fuzz pedals in our garden workshop in Northamptonshire UK. This includes painting, drilling, and screen printing the design onto the enclosures. Izzy populates the vintage style circuit board with the finest components. We finish the entire pedal to a standard that looks as good inside, as it sounds on the outside. It might be covered up but when you're in that moment you KNOW the mojo you have under the hood.

Please be aware, these are totally hand built and so there might me some slight cosmetic variation between each pedal. Tonally, I play each one to make sure they sound as good as the first one, before signing off, no tone generator, no gadgets - just a telecaster and my ears.

Please note, all my silicon pedals have a boss style 2.1 centre negative DC jack only, there is no battery snap.

This is my favorite Reeves Electro pedal I own. There’s so many tones packed into this pedal. I absolutely love it and there will always be a spot for it on my board.

Leo twelve

I am a fuzz face guy so like working my volume knob on the guitar for differing levels of saturation. The Twelve reacts much like a fuzz face, with a subtle difference of not providing overblown lows as full volume. So, along with excellent clean up, providing transparent amp tones, you can get more usable high gain as well. It’s a fantastic always on pedal. Great work!!!!

Grit and Sparkle!

I've heard the sound of a Fender Tweed on the edge of collapse on numerous recordings (think Neil Young, Wilco) but I've never experienced it first hand.......until now! There's grit and sparkle with the gain low and tone high, but boost the gain and turn down the tone and you've got filth and fuzziness, and best of all it even does sag just like the amp. Love it!

Neil Young in spades + SO MUCH more!

I've loved every pedal I have purchased from Reeves. The new more compact Leo is no exception. Compact on your board. Sleek look. Easy controls. And TONE TONE TONE. Want the Neil Young exploding tweed amp thing? You've got it! But ot does way more. Bring the gain down and volume up and you have a lovely overdrive that could easily be your core tone. Want full on almost fuzz? Its there. The tone knob is uniquely interactive with the other knobs as well. If you are considering buying this pedal I can confidently say you should absolutely buy it. You won't be disappointed. I'm only sorry that I bought it after building my main pedalboard . It's a professional build that's a pain to breakdown, but I 100% want this on that board now.
