From the vendor

THIS NOW COMES WITH THE SOUTHERN LIGHTS PCB, so you'll need to follow that build doc which is linked below.

-------

There's only so much bull anyone can use to describe a pedal that is, with the best will in the world, Yet Another Tube Screamer at heart. So we won't. We sure won't describe it as 'organic'. It isn't.

What it is, is a very nice take on the basic circuit, with sweet clipping and a very responsive feel. Get one quick, as these will go fast. Probably as fast as the laws of physics will allow.

You may want to take a look at the Southern Lights kit too - a HUGE development on this platform (an extra clipping stage and a couple of tweaks for more gain).

This one isn't set to go to 11. We have light to medium drive here.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.
