MicroAmp

Small, simple op-amp clean boost. Where's the IC? It's hiding on the back of the board - that's one way to keep the PCB down to a 1590A-friendly size.

Board-mounted pot for minimal wiring and simple enclosure mounting.

Kit is available with a standard sized 1590B enclosure with battery, or a mini 1590A (36 x 90mm) enclosure with DC power only, though be aware that you'll be wiring in a very confined space.


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, in a 1590B. 1590A will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.

Great starter build 5 product stars
"This was actually my second build (I attempted the Analog Bit Crusher first and failed miserably, but have learnt much in the process). The pedal worked great when I tested it with the battery, and it still works having wired it up to the switch! Great success! Only problem is the battery doesn't go off when you unplug a lead from the input jack. Probably my own fault, but hey I'm still a beginner! Anyway great build for your first pedal, good to get you used to soldering and it's small and simple so less likely for things to go wrong, and easier to troubleshoot if they do. Recommend this to anyone wanting to start building pedals." Jack Redhead - 27 June 2021
Little but loud! 5 product stars
"This was my first build - like a few other reviewers. Maybe not the most fun of effects but boosts are really useful and this turned out to be a fantastic decision. The hardest part of the build for me was fitting everything inside the 1590A enclosure. If you're choosing this as your first build, the 1590B is much nicer to build in. As for the sound, it does exactly what I hoped it would! Put it after drives and you get a boost for solos, but put it in front of an overdrive and be amazed at the new range of sounds you can achieve with that overdrive." Matt - 29 April 2020
Superb value and quality 5 product stars
"First pedal kit I've ever ordered, and what a great way to dip your toe into the water of building pedals. The kit itself is of superb quality and the instructions are just what you want - they tell you what to do without holding your hand. Once built (and miraculously it worked flawlessly first time!) the pedal sounds fantastic and does exactly what it says on the tin. Top marks." Sam W - 17 July 2017
Micro Excellence!! 5 product stars
"As always and as promised very fast delivery and in good packaging. I love this kit, perfect sounding boost and the quality of the pcb is as always fantastic. Highly recommended!!" Johan - 04 January 2017
Just what the Dr. Ordered 5 product stars
"Just a quick note to say great product!! I was talking to a friend about pedals and he told me this was the pedal he needed to finish out his board(Not sure you can really ever do that!!), so I ordered the kit and built it for him. Awesome sound, pushes the amp nicely when you need that extra bit of oomph!! Thanks Fuzzdog!" Theo - 27 May 2016
You want the boost? You can't handle the boost! 5 product stars
"After looking for a pedal to suit a beginner with literally no soldering experience and very little electronics knowledge I settled on this lovely Micro Amp kit! After recovering from many Oh my god it s all so small, how am I going to do this? My life is ruined, I m burning down the house and committing insurance fraud. moments, I realised that by carefully following the instructions and calming down that the build was not half as hard as I expected it to be! When it came to testing the board I plugged everything in half expecting nothing to happen, worrying about my soldering skills. But to my surprise, it worked! And boy does it work! It boosts the hell out of my signal making for a great, simple, clean change in volume and when pushed hard it even creates a nice overdrive sound. Now I just have to think of a name for my new pedal and paint it on the case, maybe something like Raging Aardvark attack boost Great kit, great pedal, happy days!" Matt - 21 November 2014
