Boner Boost

From the vendor

Probably the most popular one-knob boost available. Famously crackles when adjusted, but hey - that's ok! Circuit is now based on the second incarnation which isn't susceptible to static.

Astounding levels of boost on tap, but this isn't simply a 'make stuff go louder' circuit. Pair it with a vintage guitar with weak pickups and tweak the control until you find the sweet spot. You'll not believe what that old axe has in it.

Board-mounted pot for minimal wiring and easy mounting in the enclosure.

Kit is available with a standard sized 1590B enclosure with battery, or a mini 1590A (36 x 90mm) enclosure with DC power only, though be aware that you'll be wiring in a very confined space.

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, in a 1590B. 1590A will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.
