Maximus Distortium - High Gain Distortion

Metal mayhem in a box that emulates some sweet fully Kranked amps.

High gain distortion with a simple 3-band EQ that should serve up enough chug for most.

Wind back the mids for a classic scooped thrash tone, or tease them back in for more in-your-face modern metal. Even with the gain full up you won't loose your nimble fretwork in a mush of fizz. Clarity is king here.

With the gain back you can get some nice drive sounds that are outside the metal realm.

Options? Yes. How about a boutique box of tone-melt based on the DistMax? Someone went crazy-ape with a tone-stack calculator and swapped out a few components to come up with what we'll call the Rotten Corpse. Slightly heavier, though there's not a great deal in it to be honest.

Board-mounted pots for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting.


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.

Simple build 5 product stars
"Just finished building this for the bassist in my band. It's a nice simple kit as there's very little off board wiring and the fact that there's a connection to the board for everything would make this an ideal first kit if you were a complete novice." Big Dan - 12 May 2013
