Jordan Bosstone

Old-school fuzz tones from this vintage box. The original model plugged straight into the guitar jack socket - crazy!

The Bosstone has been described as a bit thin sounding, but far from it. It has a very robust tone that gets very fuzzy towards the top end of the gain control.

Board-mounted pots for super-simple assembly and enclosure mounting, and there's also an optional clipping selection switch to go between silicon and germanium.

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 only available 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.
