From the vendor

Clone of a famous purple Marshall-in-a-Box pedal. Dial up some crazy high-gain crank in a very small package. Volume control does what it says, though we offer the kit with a Log pot if you want to make it much better than the original. Frequency offers a good range of filtering to tune the tone just-so. Unfortunately the Gain control could just as well be a toggle switch. You'll get very little change across most of the turn, then a shed-load of gain in the last few degrees. This is a design flaw in the original, but after much experimentation it has proved impossible to make much of an improvement. Embrace it or move along. That being said you can opt for our modded version which will uses Reverse Log instead of linear. Another warning - this is not a quiet circuit. Some noise may be present if playing gently or with the guitar volume wound back. 'Tis the nature of the beast. Who's going to play this quietly though? This is hard-rock/metal through and through. 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: Purple Plexi Difficulty: Easy PCB size: 50 x 20mm Knobs required: 3 Enclosure: 1590B Direct-Connect compatible (4-way) 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. Download theINSTRUCTION PDF Here's theolder version
