From the vendor
Who doesn't love the Box of Rock? Well, probably a bunch of people, but no matter. Here we have something on the same lines but tuned specially for you bass players.
Yeah, it doesn't have the boost switch, but neither does the original pedal this is based on. It just uses the same circuit topology as the BOR and tweaks those tones to get you in the same ballpark as a grunty Ampeg SVT
Bright/Dark toggle switch works in combination with your tone control to cover a lot of ground.
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 only available with full kits, and will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.
Inspired by: Basstortion
Difficulty: Medium
PCB size: 50 x 30mm
Knobs required: 3
Enclosure: 1590B
Direct-Connect compatible (4-way)
