5WPlus

Tricked-out OD-1-based drive that works wonders boosting a tube amp.

Fairly unique tone control that dumps low-end while adding gain.

Frequency freaks can get their kicks with the two toggles, offering three different settings for both bass at the gains stage and highs at the output, making it easy to match up to your setup.

Sorry, the kit doesn't include the mojo diodes that'll make very little difference to the tone.

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 will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.
