From the vendor
Now then... The designer of this circuit isn't known for creamy smooth smoochy fuzz tones, but this one really is OUT THERE!
Imagine the offspring of every one of their pedals stacked together and powered by the signal from a vintage radio converted to DC. Yep, it's an utter sonic mess. Squeals, howls and spitting velcro fuzz aplenty, all of which are instantly mutilated by the slightest adjustment of your guitar knobs.
Utterly, gloriously, unashamedly untameable. We're sure you'll find a use for it.
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 enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.
