A-Wai Evil Eddie - Lead preset

Verified · 90/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Evil Eddie is a two-channel, single-ended low-power head from small builder A-Wai. The clean channel has Treble/Bass/Mid, Bright and Tweed switches and its own volume; a relay swaps in the lead channel, a long cascade of 12AX7 gain stages with Gain, its own Treble/Bass/Mid and volume. Both feed a 12AX7 recovery stage, an effects loop with level control and a driver stage into one cathode-biased 6V6 with adjustable negative feedback.

• Made in: France
• Channels: 2
• Preamp tubes: 5× 12AX7

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
