From the vendor
The EMpathy Drive's bigger brother. No less simple, and no less pleasant to play with. Nice OD that responds well to playing dynamics and guitar volume adjustment. The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have 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 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 and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs. Inspired by: Paramount Drive Difficulty: Easy PCB size: 50 x 18mm Knobs required: 3 Enclosure: 1590B Direct connect compatible (4 way) Download the INSTRUCTION PDF
