Gape

Beautifully simple pedal - who doesn't love a one-knobber after all?

Think of it as kicking in the gain on your amp, so essentially a second channel. It'll give you 'more' without colouring the tone. No bells or whistles, just that extra oomph when you need it.

The original uses obsolete Schottky diodes for the clipping, but BAT41 will do the same job just as 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 as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knob is not included.
