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.
