March 1, 2025 · 1 sources

GUP Tech announced in March 2025 that the Douche Edition of its Donut pedal is available, describing it as the same circuit and boost-overdrive tone in a sparkling enclosure¹. The maker says the pedal is built in Saguenay, Québec, Canada¹.

The Donut runs from clean boost to what the maker calls a solid overdrive sound, with a tone knob that adjusts midrange response from no mid boost to a "Cut the mix" tone¹. It has a buffered design, draws 5mA and runs on 9V DC center negative power¹.

The product page lists the pedal as sold out, in a Pink Sparkle finish, with Blue Sparkle and Silver Seafoam also shown as style options¹. 00 GBP; no US list price is stated¹.

The page carries four customer reviews, all rated five stars¹. One reviewer describes the Donut as based on the Hot Cake and says it stacks well with a Tumnus Deluxe or a JHS Clover driving it¹. Another calls it a thick, warm overdrive that cleans up glassy, like a germanium fuzz¹. These are customers' views, not the maker's.

The Donut sits among GUP Tech's boost pedals¹.
