From the vendor
Very early EHX gain box that originally plugged straight into the guitar.
Different flavour to the original transistor based circuit, so worth checking them both out for vintage fluffy tones.
Note: this is NOT a Big Muff Pi. Different thing altogether.
Board-mounted pot for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting.
Full kits are available with optional 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.
Inspired by: Muff Fuzz
Difficulty: Easy
PCB size: 30 x 22mm
Knobs required: 1
Enclosure: 1590B, 1590A
