L'il Louie Mini

Based on a delightful gold boutique box, this little fella is a very simple chunk of Fender-like tone. Add a little 50's Fender Twin or Tweed Deluxe oomph into your chain. The original takes up a lot of pedalboard estate for such a small circuit, so we've stripped out the Boost footswitch to give you this more econonical format. We have the bigger version availalble, as well as a dual-footswitch mini format too if you like to tapdance. Check the links below.

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 (not footswitches), 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 take a battery. Knobs are not included.

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