Now that's a nifty parts count for a very versatile drive. Designed to produce a vast range of drive tones. Keep the gain down low for light tube-like break-up, wind it up a bit for some crunch, or whack it all the way for saturated fuzz. There's got to be some magic in the FET clipping for it to work this well. Board-mounted pots for minimal wiring and easy mounting in the enclosure. 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 you want one. Be aware that the footswitch will be 22mm closer to your knobs that with the battery-free option. Knobs are not included.
