The Paddy Whacker Distortion pedal is a collaborative project between Leprechaun FX and Dr Scientist Sounds.

The distortion circuit is designed by Ryan and Neil at Dr Scientist Sounds. The Enclosures are individually hand painted and assembled by Patrick, in-house, at Leprechaun FX in Edmonton, Alberta.

The Paddy Whacker is a high gain, in your face, rock n roll machine. Using the combination of mix, contour and gain controls, this pedal will give you tones ranging from dirty muddy overdrive to power-chord distortion to searing & spitting fuzz-like destruction.

Each LFX pedal is custom painted using the swirl dipping technique. Not only do they look wicked, no two boxes are the same due to the randomness of dipping. Imperfections in the finish are things we consider acceptable - meaning we liked the outcome, including any potential “flaws”.
