Para-Drive

The EMpathy Drive's bigger brother. No less simple, and no less pleasant to play with. Nice OD that responds well to playing dynamics and guitar volume adjustment.

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: 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 and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.

Great Simple Pedal 5 product stars
"For my first pedal I didn't want to build something really difficult and this looked fairly simple. It took me a while to build, but that was because I had to learn how to solder, learn how transistors and resistance and all of the components worked as well as do a bit of trouble shooting towards the end. The only slight annoyance was that the LED wasn't working but have ordered a couple more and should be a simple fix. Definitely a new addiction for me, the pedal sounds amazing. Played to a few guitar friends claiming it was a boutique pedal and they all believed me. A lovely light drive sound right through to a bit of crunch. It also sounded great on top of an overdriven amp as well as stacking drive pedals after it. Already bought my next kit" Tom Holmes - 15 March 2017
