From the vendor
Classic early 70s fuzz tones. Massive, saturated fuzz but with a rounded, fat tone missing in a lot of extreme fuzz boxes. As well as your standard controls there's a switch to kick in an octave-up which gets things really nasty. This thing doesn't cut through the mix, it viscerates all its sonic path. As well as the classic circuit, you can go for a more recent boutique take on it. A few component changes and an additional switch for Fat/Brite modes give you a slightly different flavour, but not to far from the original. There's a separate kit available if you want to make a bigger 1590BB version with the octave control as a footswitch. 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.
