The Jeds Peds Limited Edition (V.Quadrillion+1) is a distortion pedal sold by the UK kit maker as either a solder-your-own kit or a pre built pedal. It is a dual footswitch design, with a distortion section and a booster in one enclosure, and its octave section blends in the Green Ringer circuit, which Jeds Peds describes as delivering "that super screamy doom tone we all love"1. The maker calls it "the highly sought after Limited Edition distortion pedal" and notes it has had a few re-releases since its first limited release1.
Controls
The pedal carries five knobs and a toggle switch, and the two footswitches let you bring the distortion and the boost in separately1.

Circuit and comparisons
Jeds Peds states that "This kit compares to the EQD Life"1, positioning it as a comparison point rather than a copy, and the page carries the maker's note that there is no endorsement or approval from any manufacturer1. The Green Ringer reference points to a long standing octave circuit design, used here blended into the distortion for what the maker calls a doomy heaven of a sound1. If you are browsing similar Jeds Peds designs, the maker's range also includes the Foggy Twin, Dirty Bomber, Amuse Me, So Funkin' True kit, Obsessive Compulsive and Riot, and the octave side of this pedal sits alongside the wider field of octave and pitch pedals and distortion pedals.
Questions
What circuit is the Jeds Peds Limited Edition based on?
The octave section blends in the Green Ringer circuit, an octave design that Jeds Peds describes as producing a super screamy doom tone. The pedal pairs that octave with a distortion section and a switchable post boost, giving two effects in one dual footswitch enclosure.
Is the Jeds Peds Limited Edition sold as a kit?
Yes. Jeds Peds offers it in several forms: PCB only, PCB and components, PCB and components with off board parts, a full kit, a full kit with drilling, and a pre built kit. Pre built kits have a 1 to 4 week build time and carry a 12 month repair warranty, with no returns accepted on them.
What size enclosure does it use?
The kit is supplied with a JP1590BB sized enclosure as standard, according to Jeds Peds.
Can the boost be switched off separately from the distortion?
Yes. The pedal is dual footswitched, with one switch for the distortion and one for the booster. The post boost is switchable, which Jeds Peds describes as two pedals in one.
Does the Jeds Peds Limited Edition come with a warranty?
Pre built kits carry a 12 month repair warranty from Jeds Peds, so if a fault develops the maker will repair it. Returns are not accepted on pre built kits.
