Amber Chuck V4

Gotta love amp-in-a-box circuits when they sound as good as this...

Give your amp all the crunchy goodness of a JTM45 with this box of tricks.

Hugely versatile range, from light crunch to full-on chug, with the classic 3-band Marshall tone section adding more tweakability than you could wish for. Just keep an eye on Snoopy or he'll have it on his board.

Vertical-mount pots are highly recommended for this build, but please note they have a round shaft - you'll need knobs with set-screw fitting.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs. Pot spacing is very tight (17.5mm), so you'll need small knobs. 1900H fit well.

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 was 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.

Very versatile drive pedal
"I bought this kit because of its bass-mid-treble controls to be able to tweak more. Good low to medium/high gain sounds to be had here as well. You could even use this pedal as a clean boost/basic eq pedal if you wanted to. All in all a high quality very usable drive pedal to suit lots of different styles." Chevalking - 15 July 2019

Great Sounding pedal
"I put the kit together one evening and it worked first time. The sound is great going from a light drive to a reasonably heavy drive without turning to mush. The EQ section has a useful range but isn't overly sensitive to a little change. The only thing I found was that it was a little picky about what came after it in the chain. I solved this by using a K-buffer on the output. Now it sound the same no matter what it is plugged into." Matthew Briggs - 27 March 2019
