Acti-Boost - Type A and Type R

From the vendor

A nice pair of boosts/tone shapers, both of which can be made using the same PCB (though only one at a time - come on!).

Both versions utilise Baxandall active EQ circuitry to keep your tone perky, offering +/- 15db on bass and treble.

So, what's the difference?

• Type A offers a bit of grit with your boost, pushing into overdrive at the top of the turn.

• Type R is clean, clean, clean right up to the top end of the range, where a bit of dirt starts to creep in.

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 will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

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