Icarus V2
A buffer, booster, and overdrive in one, based on the preamp circuits from Parabola and Météore with a germanium-flavored gain stage.
About this pedal
Icarus V2 combines a buffer, booster, and overdrive built from the same preamp circuitry used in Caroline’s Parabola and Météore pedals, with a gain stage inspired by a vintage Soviet-era germanium preamp design. It’s positioned as a flexible always-on or stackable gain tool rather than a single-flavor drive.
