From the vendor

Massive distortion for all your chug and djent needs. NOTE: you may get some squealing on the last bit of the gain pot turn unless you have a buffer in front of this pedal. If you're not happy with that, please don't buy the kit. Huge gain that is said to resemble the sound of a 5150 amp (not heard one - wouldn't know). Great tone section with a mids control that scoops them right out of existance for a really heavy sound. Don't write this off as a one-whack wonder though. Turn the gain down a bit and fiddle with the EQ and you have a vast range of tone to play with. Probably the only distortion you'd need. Add the voicing switch into the equation (Hard or Brutal) and you have a complete package. Includes a post-boost as standard, which some people hate. The stock boost is more a signal-tinkerer that completely changes the overall sound, from nasally fuzz to muffled OD, but there are some interesting sounds to be had. If you're after a straight-up post-boost that will simply give the signal some added oomph then opt for the Boner Boost option. Both boosts are built straight on the main PCB - no need for a separate board Note: the boost section is not independent. It's only engaged when the distortion is on, as per the original. Why are there two different coloured PCBs you ask? The Boner Boost implementation on the original red board required some small hacks. This has been rectified on the black boards. If you order a kit with the original boost you'll receive the red PCB (while stocks last) as it requires no hacks. This latest version includes the option to add an on-board charge pump to run the distortion at 18V while the boost remains at 9V. You can either hard-wire a single voltage, add header pins and a jumper clip to go between them, or a nifty little micro-slide switch. PLEASE NOTE: This kit is not recommended for beginners. Though it isn't really any harder to put together than any others, the high parts count mean it will be difficult to troubleshoot if it doesn't work first time. Kit includes sockets for the ICs, though they aren't shown. Image shows the Boner Boost config with jumpers and a hacked resistor. Pot spacing is 23mm - take that into consideration when choosing knobs. 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: PCBs, all board-mounted components depending on selected options (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 enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs. Inspired by: Triple Wreck Difficulty: Hard PCB size: 85 x 50mm Knobs required: 6 Enclosure: 1590BB Check Specials for powder-coated enclosure availability.
