I Scream, You Scream - Cloning the VFE Ice Scream
The VFE Ice Scream is a boutique overdrive / boost pedal that, according to their website, "...are designed to push higher gain amps into meltdown. It all starts with a mid boost stage before the gain circuit. Tune the voicing of the mid boost with the MID knob, and then use the variable low and high cuts to further sculpt your tone to cut through the mix." Unfortunately VFE Pedals shut down around 2020, though there are Gerber files available for a lot of their designs (I actually picked up several, so there may be some cool odd builds in my future). You can still get new pedals for $199 or so, so they're not incredibly expensive... yet. PedalPCB offers a board for this pedal as the "Frost Drive" - and they offer three different "flavors" of the board (vanilla, mint, and sherbet) so I decided to take the plunge and build all three!
