Super Cranker

What's better than the awesomely simple grit that you get from the Cone Cranker? Double that of course.

This box puts two modified Electra circuits in series to produce some really sweet drive. All the same touch sensitive, natural feeling oomph, but this one goes to 11.

There's a toggle switch to give you two different clipping options - silicon for bright and crisp, or germanium for a much softer flavour. Add the Tone control into the mix and you can tune this puppy to match any setup.

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 can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knobs are not included.

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