Disorder Drive

Better than one of the most popular overdrives on the market

"I sold my 2.0, and while this kit is a 1.4, I can say I m glad I did as I prefer it to the one I had. I m unable to say how it compares to an actual 1.4, but I can say it sounds great. Pretty straightforward build, and very neat when done as all Fuzzdogs kits are. If you, like me, had the recently released version 2.0 and found it muddy and lacklustre, give one of these kits a whirl, it s better and you ll have the fun of building it." Alex - 30 June 2020

Cracking pedal, watch out for impedance issues though ....

"The kit is fantastic as always. As for the circuit: PROS - Sounds incredible at pretty much any setting, and is different to all my other dirt pedals, definitely a keeper. CONS- The output impedance caused me problems when I put the pedal on my board. The pedal was quieter than it should have been until I punched in a delay after it and then it blasted back up to expected volume. I've built a buffer to go after the drive to solve the problem. I don't think the 500k volume pot helps. People with the earlier versions (100k) probably don't notice. It sounds fine straight into the amp or the closer to full volume you get. Not really cons but for me I leave the tone all the way up which doesn't seem normal and also I can't hear any real benefit with the bass mod switch after trying all the caps. But like I said brilliant kit, easy and neat to build and can't fault the sound." Alan - 13 January 2017

fantastic pedal, great support

"the pedal sounds fantastic and fuzzdog's support is always faster than light! I've done many fuzzdog kits, all great kits. maybe the led-bezel could be better." giorgio - 22 October 2015

Disorder Drive

"Another superb kit supplied by Fuzzdog built with the 18v pump and bass switching,really touch sensitive pedal which I like and the sound this bad boy makes is glorious...highly recommend pedal to build." Mark - 03 September 2015

I built mine for Bass and it's REALLY good!

"I built mine with the extra bass and 18v switches...It was an easy build. My board mounted pots needed a bit of card behind them because they earthed with the main circuit at first. Construction was fairly easy. This pedal is very versatile on bass, turn down the gain and it's a clean boost (although a slight bass cut, even with the 47uF cap). But it's slight. The Overdrive is quite dynamic and very smooth sounding, it's easy to dial in very light break up right through to "full on" hogh gain fuzz land. It also reacts to playing well. It adds a nice bright component to my tone and it works very well with my fretless (loaded with flatwounds). This has become one of my favorite OD's on bass. If I was going to rehearsal with just one OD...I might take this one." Gareth Cooper - 06 June 2015

fantastic kit

"This pedal sounds fantastic. I've never played through the pedal this is based so can't comment how accurate the tone is. However, this pedal sounds very articulate and clear, is very responsive to guitar volume changes, and has tons of bass response. There is plenty of overdrive available, with very little background hum as the gain is turned up. The tone control and voicing switch allow you to dial in any blues or classic rock sound you could want. Highly recommend this kit, really pleased with it and the easy to follow instructions."

Actually lives up to the hype!

"There's a lot of chat about the pedal this is based on, so I approached it with a bit of suspicion. It's actually very, very good. It's an easy build, maybe not best for a beginner, but nothing to worry about - just take care with the germanium diode. I actually built mine as a v3 / v4 hybrid - I used the optional diode from the v4 but the tone cap value from the v3 and I have to say it's really nice. There's a lot of drive available and it's a very fat sound with lots of bass response. Tonally it covers a lot of bases from blues to rock. I'm running mine at 18v which makes the drive a bit smoother sounding." John Roberts - 03 November 2013
