From the vendor
The last thing anyone wants is to fry their beloved vintage AC15 or AC30, but how else are you going to get that incredible tone of those great British beasts being pushed to the edge? Stick one of these beauties in your chain. It does a great job of capturing the essence of those particularly distinguished English gents on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Nice and simple Vol and Gain controls, along with a three way toggle giving three different levels of amp failure. The pots go straight into the PCB, as will the micro-toggle if you opt for that. Wiring up a normal switch is a breeze though. 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 enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.
