From the vendor

Because sometimes it's about ripping your tone apart and getting crazy. With the Starve and Tone pots wound back this box will give you some nasty, splatty overdrive. Nicely doomy. Bring those two controls into the mix and you're off into spluttering gated mess and all-out oscillation. Equally good on bass, synth, drum machine - whatever you can throw at it. As well as the four controls of the original unit, this FuzzDog take on it offers up a optional fifth knob to tweak your noise into ever stranger territory. We won't kid you - with the fifth knob on there it gets mighty tight and you'll need nimble fingers to twiddle your controls. It's a subtle effect, so honestly we'd suggest just keeping a fixed resistor here and sticking with a four-knobber, but if you really like to fine tune things, go for it. The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs. This one's a LOT of fun. 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 will not take a battery. Knobs are not included. Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.
