From the vendor

Another treble boost used by Mr May. This one can be seen in photos of his pedal board from 1981. The original has no pot, but we know people like to have some degree of control so we've added one as an option so can tweak the bias. If you go for it without a pot you lose the secure enclosure mounting it offers. Kit is available with a 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. Knobs are not included. Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs. Inspired by: TB83 Difficulty: Easy PCB size: 25 x 22mm Knobs required: 1 Enclosure: 1590B, 1590A Direct Connect compatible (4 way) Download INSTRUCTION PDF
