From the vendor

Born of the desire to create an overdrive that didn't sound like every other overdrive. Well, turns out it is entirely capable of sounding like 'normal' overdrives, albeit with a rich variety of tones across the gain range.

Where this one differs is the SAG control. This is an envelope-driven signal destruction control. It'll crackle and fizz and generally break up your signal depending on your playing dynamics. It's a lot more interesting than you may think, and should get your creative juices juicing hard.

The nice thing is, the pedal can be set to be in normal drive mode, with the SAG function doing its thing when you hold down the momentary footswitch. OR you can flip the toggle switch and have it sagging until you hold that switch to kick in un-messed-up tones.

The level of sag is controlled by the Threshold control, along with a toggle for light or heavy sag. Additional to the original is an optional Depth control, giving more more tweakability of the messy stuff.

All in all, a very useful tool you didn't know you needed.

Available with through-hole FETs, or go for SMT versions if you want to save some £ and you can handle the tiny stuff.

Supplied with Lumberg jacks so they'll fit nicely above the pots.

If you want the PCBs without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCBs, all board-mounted components (not footswitches), 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 enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
