MicroAmp
Small, simple op-amp clean boost. Where's the IC? It's hiding on the back of the board - that's one way to keep the PCB down to a 1590A-friendly size.
Board-mounted pot for minimal wiring and simple enclosure mounting.
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.
