From the vendor

Tiny circuit that has a lot of smile-inducing potential. If you like it glitchy this could be the one for you.

At first the octave up and down produced seem random, but you'll soon get the hang of predicting what's going to trigger what after some twidding around the fretboard and tweaking your guitar controls. Then it becomes your secret weapon. People will be thinking 'how're they doing that?'.

The kit is supplied with a vertical-mount pot which has a round shaft, so you'll need a set-screw fitting knob.

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. Knob is not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.

Inspired by: Phantom Octave

Difficulty: Easy

PCB size: 30 x 25mm

If you want the kit pre-built you must add the enclosure option below and select your knobs in the Components section. Check Specials for powder-coated enclosure availability.
