Blue Pow Drive

Boutique box of blues, heavily based on the Timmy, which is no bad thing.

Transparent drive with a wide range of tone, from light bluesy break-up to full-on lead fizz.

Internal DIP switches to shape the mid range, and an external three-way toggle to tweak the tone on the fly - glassy, warm or edgy.

If you like the Timmy and fancy something similar with more tonal tweakability, this is for you.

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.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.
