FuzzPup EPic Boost

This is part of our FuzzPup range of circuits designed for 1590A builds. Please read the general build doc available here and ensure you're happy with what's involved. They're not especially difficult, but working in a confined space can be fiddly. Take heed.

Of course there's nothing stopping you using these PCBs for 'standard' builds. They're Direct Connect compatible.

A different PCB is available for 'standard' 1590B builds - see the related products listed below.

Clone of a very neat little transparent boost, based on the pre-amp section of the EP-3 Echo Machine. The circuit is actually nothing like that pre-amp, but it sure does sound like it.

The circuit has Bright and Fat modes, selected with internal DIP switches as per the original. You could probably fit a couple of external toggle on there but you'll have to tackle that bit of drilling yourself.

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.
