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.

best pedal on my board…adds that woodiness i love

Espectacular pedal
The tone control is like a Bias control on a Fuzz.
More than an Overdrive!
Thanks!

Chewy. Grindy. Glassy. Sputtery. Warm. Subtle. Bombastic. Transformational.
With the turn of a dial or three. I can't believe the wide range of tones this thing produces. Absolutely gorgeous.
Loving this pedal here in sunny Colorado. I Believe in this pedal.

Another smash 💥 out of the park by Reeves. The description is spot on. I love it. ❤️

Beautifully sounding and looking pedal (both in the inside and outside). Great range of tones - I especially love the almost fuzz like exploding tweed sounds. It can definitely take a fuzz spot on my board and then give me all the cleanish sounds too. Really happy with the purchase!

The Leo Twelve is the perfect Overdrive Pedal. It can be a mild 'Blues' Overdrive or dialed up to Maximum Grunge and then a Fuzz Pedal.

Sounds amazing, clean boost, overdrive, fuzz in one pedal,it's killer.
Thank you Izzy and Markus for your awesome jobs.
All the best for you. Thanks.
Frank.

Great pedal, very happy!

Recently picked up a Leo Twelve and couldn't be any happier with the range of tones in this box. The 3 knob configuration is incredibly powerful and covers the gamut of tweed circuits. Sparkly cleans to full out blow up your amp fuzz tones. I play through a custom made 18W "mini plexi" combo amp and its so complimentary to an already killer sounding set up for my tastes. Can't recommend enough. I need to snag a FF circuit next

Plugged it in, set to the tweed settings, hours of creativity. This is one of those pedals that inspires music. When I change a dial or go for a different setting scenerio, down another rabbithole of where is this tone taking me. The grit of the overdrive is on mark, and cleans up sparkly with guitar volume lowered. Just a great pedal

My second Reeves Electro pedal and this one is even better than the first! Great job Izzy making a beautiful pedal that captures the tweed sound perfectly. Great range of tones in this one. Thanks!
Oh man! Thank you stoked youre enjoying the Leo12 🙏🙏🔥

Massive fan of tweed tones and dynamic pedals. This pedal has lived up to the hype / reviews . From my perspective it covers my favourite tones from EC Layla era and Eagles tweed deluxe stuff. It also can do the glassy SRV tones using the very effective tone knob . Great clean up off the guitar volume knob. Pedal looks unique and cool. Not looked inside yet but expect it to be beautifully put together.

Oozing with character and personality. Packs all the snarl and malice of a whisky-fuelled bar fight, with a chime and sparkle to the clean up that is truly impressive. Incredibly dynamic and versatile, stacking beautifully with other pedals. Markus & Izzy's work is flawless and infinitely inspiring. Prepare to lose many hours!

The Leo has great Tweed sounds. I have a Tweed Champ clone, and the similarity is uncanny. However, it has more. It goes all the way to light fuzz. All the settings are not only usable, but genuinely good. A real winner.

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.

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!!!!

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!

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.
