From the vendor

Tweakable three-knob version of the Thug, based on a tweakable three-knob version of a pedal based on the pedal the Thug is based on. Make sense? This isn't just a Thug with a tone control, and don't expect more fuzz than the one-knobber. The Attack control lets you decrease the fuzz, but doesn't offer more. The Filter control adds a bit more interest - at 12 o'clock it's around the same as a standard Thug. Wind it clockwise and you pump more bass, which in turn pushes your output more. Wind it back and you thin it out. Perfect partner to a fat tube amp and a detuned guitar. Doom flavours from crunch to buzzsaw. The original has a linear pot for the Attack control. Reverse log works better so we're now supplying those. If you want to go with the original taper drop a note on your order. Really, don't do it. 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 enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
