1590B · 3 knobs
From the vendor
All the vintage amp tone fun of a 60's Supro in a 1590B. Based on a boutique pedal which is itself based on the excellent RunOffGroove Supreaux, but with a couple of tweaks. This version offers a built-in charge pump to run the circuit at 18V instead of 9V, giving much more headroom. A Hi/Lo toggle switch emulates the Hi/Lo inputs of the amp, so giving you more dirt or more clean headroom on tap. Overall, this is a fantastic open-sounding drive with a huge range of gain and tone control. Big thumbs-up to RunOffGroove. No mention of them on the 'boutique' site... shame on those people. Board-mounted pots and switch make this a quick, simple build. Latest version has pads for through-hole or SMT FETs, since through-hole are getting harder to come by. 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 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. Inspired by: Superbolt Difficulty: Medium PCB size: 50 x 40mm Knobs required: 3 Enclosure: 1590B Direct-Connect compatible (4-way) NOTE: You'll need a mutlimeter to bias the FETs in this circuit.
