From the vendor
The Boner Boost is an outstandingly awesome little box of oomph, but it's not all about boosting. Pair it with a vintage guitar with weak pickups and tweak the control until you find the sweet spot - you'll not believe what that old axe has in it. However, that sweet spot may be at a point where the level is just too much. Bring on the Master Boner and put a volume control after that magic. We have a couple of options here. As described above, two pots controlling the Boost and Master Volume. Nice. Or keep it as a single knob affair with an internal trimmer to set the Boost, just like a Black Eye. We supply the two components that differ so you can build the latter if you prefer. 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. Knobs are not included. Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.
