Ampeg Scrambler

Intense, take-your-face-off fuzz from a tweaked Ampeg Scrambler™-based circuit.

The original maxed out at around unity gain, so we've incorporated an optional post-boost and master volume so you can really crank it if you want to. It doesn't colour the tone at all, simply makes it more awesome.

Supplied with board-mounted pots with 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 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.
