About The Dirty Boy® Germanium Boy

The Dirty Boy® Germanium Boy is precision redefined — reborn in GENOME as a PEDAL-Ai™ Component. Built on Alex Saraceno’s original circuit and armed with germanium transistors, it delivers the smooth, warm response that’s made it a secret weapon for LA studio pros and Emmy-winning producers. This isn’t about distortion — it’s about tone sculpting with authority.

The controls are stripped to the bone but lethal in effect. Gain sets your output level with absolute command, pushing your signal forward without adding grit. The 12-way Frequency selector is the heart of the Germanium Boy: each position a new voice, ranging from thick and heavy to sharp and cutting. Want humbuckers to snap like singles? Done. Need to fatten single-coils? Twist and fire. Too much boom in your chain? Carve it out instantly. Every setting reshapes your core tone, making your guitar and amp hit harder, cleaner, and smarter.

The Germanium Boy isn’t just another component — it’s Dirty Boy® unleashed in GENOME. With germanium soul, modern precision, and the ability to reshape your sound at its core, this is tone-sculpting power for players who demand more.

Dirty Boy® DNA — the art of controlled chaos.
