Dude Boost

Big, beefy FET boost in a tiny footprint. This is Tim Escobedo's Duende-JFET boost. So. Few. Parts!

Plenty of punch available without colouring your tone.

Supposedly the basis of the JHS™ Mini Bomb© but we couldn't comment on that.

Kit is available with a standard sized 1590B enclosure with battery, or a mini 1590A (36 x 90mm) enclosure with DC power only, though be aware that you'll be wiring in a very confined space.

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, in a 1590B. 1590A will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.

A nice starter pedal kit
"A good first pedal to solder - not too many parts but there are a few challenges for a beginner. I only had some minor cable/switch soldering experience prior to it and managed to succeed in the end. All queries I had were fully addressed by the FuzzDog support. Gorva switch is quite nice - consider getting the ribbon connector option as well - I tried it on a different kit and liked it a lot! The 1590A enclosure I chose was indeed quite confined - it all worked out well in the end though. Some things you have to work out yourself: which resistor is meant to go with the LED; what bits to solder outside of enclosure and how to put it all together in the end. I would characterise the resulting sound as "fat"." Den - 04 September 2021

First build, great little boost
"This is the first kit I've put together and the first thing I've soldered since I was at school. The kit was really straightforward, the instructions were super clear, and even though I managed to mess it up, the customer service experience was superb. Really happy with this little boost, looking forward to my next build." James - 23 July 2020
