From the vendor
Best Angry Charlie PCB in Yellow/Black.
Description
A British JCM800 style preamp based on the Angry Charlie with a 3-Band Baxandall Active EQ allowing you complete control over the tone. Turning the Drive full-up yields an aggressive distortion tone like you would expect from the real thing. Turn the Drive control down, and dial in some classic rock and blues. Use your guitar volume to get the most out of this versatile Monster of Rock!
Based on a JHS circuit originally based off of the Marshall Guvnor.
