Jalapeño Screamer Amarillo

A smooth, dynamic Screamer with 1N34A germanium diodes for softer clipping, vintage warmth, and a rich, organic feel. Built in very limited batches due to the rarity of the diodes—once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Vintage soul, golden glow.

The Jalapeño Screamer Amarillo isn’t just an overdrive—it’s a rare gem, a fleeting spark of golden tone. Built in very limited batches, this special edition captures the warmth and depth of classic recordings, delivering a sound that feels as if it’s been aged to perfection.

At its heart are 1N34A germanium diodes, elusive and full of character. These aren’t just components—they’re the soul of the pedal. Their soft, rounded clipping smooths the edges, lending a touch of sweetness that silicon just can’t replicate. Play lightly, and your tone breathes with clarity. Dig in, and the overdrive blooms—organic, dynamic, and alive, responding to your hands like an extension of your amp.

Built with the same trusted op-amp and transistors as the green version, the Amarillo retains that classic Screamer feel, but with a vintage twist—smoother breakup, richer harmonics, and a more open, amp-like response. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and versatility, whether you’re after subtle warmth or a soulful drive that sings.

Like all Spicy Pedals creations, the Amarillo Germanium is hand-built, true bypass, and road-ready. But with genuine germanium diodes becoming harder to source, each batch is incredibly limited.

🔥 A golden moment in tone—catch it before it’s gone. 🔥

Stuff You Need to Know

I create my pedals manually.

Firstly, I design most of the PCBs and carefully select the parts required for the pedal. Next, I solder the parts by hand and manually wire them. I also design the faceplate art and get it placed into each enclosure myself.

Finally, I clear coat the pedals and hand them to my wife who packages them, and we do all of this work in our living room located in Dallas, Texas.

That’s why every pedal is different.
Every pedal is special. 

This is mainly a one-person operation, although my amazing wife helps with packaging and provides me with all the motivation necessary for Spicy Pedals to exist.

Although I make small batches, I don’t keep much inventory because this is a micro-operation. However, we do accept backorders for most of my pedals, but please note that it may take up to two weeks to fulfill your backorder.

In case you opt to backorder a pedal, I will send you an email to inform you about the estimated time required to create your pedal.

I offer a 5-year warranty to the original buyer. If the pedal is not working or it is not doing what it is supposed to do, send me an email, and we’ll figure out what’s up.  Please email me before returning anything.  You can reach me at [email protected].

Thank you very much for visiting my website. All of this has been made out of love for music and stompboxes.
