From the vendor
Based on the Mk I (black box) Blues Breaker, with some tweaks. Parts are included to add slightly more gain than the original, and for a better tone section with more bottom end. Or you can stick with the stock components. The PCB has extra places for parts to make the King of boutique variations on a Blues Breaker. This includes BA282 diodes rather than the impossible to source MA856 in the original units. They have the same characteristics and sound identical. 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 enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
