Heads up Builders widely report inconsistent quality from PCB Guitar Mania boards, and whether a given board works is a gamble. Read recent forum reports before ordering.

From the vendor

Project overview

This drive is one of those very few pedals that sounds fresh, although this circuit’s architecture is basically a JHS Haunting mids +JHS Super bolt.

Oh man, this combination is a total killer, nailing every pallet of overdrive to saturated sputter fuzz tones.

Introduction

A unique distortion circuit designed explicitly to Paul’s specifications, and oh man, it shows. Paulo Gilberto can emulate a pushed tube amplifier’s touch, feel, and sensitivity thanks to its FET-based distortion engine. This board will give you the dynamics and tone of a loud stadium level amplifier at low/moderate volume levels!
