From the vendor
A beast of a bass box for your fuzzy delectation.
The front end is based on a Big Muff Pi with germanium diodes for soft-knee clipping.
This feeds into a power amp back end to give you a massive bottom end growl.
Not a lot else to say about it, other than it may be the only bass dirt you need.
Supplied with board-mounted pots with 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.
Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
Inspired by: Frantone Lo-Tone
Difficulty: Medium
PCB size: 50 x 40mm
