From the vendor
Room for one more amp-in-a-box? Maybe even two. Alrighty then... The Beast OD gets you into the realm of a '68 Plexi. Not just any old '68 Plexi, but one that is both stock and 'modded'. Flip the Snarl switch on this box and your gain goes up to 11. Throw in a few overused adjectives such as 'open' and 'dynamic' if you will, as they really do apply here. Now you can also built a lower gain version which is kinda blue. It's the same circuit with a few value swaps to tame the beast for a lower gain range. 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 enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
