Wafer thin? Hell no. This is a big, fat boost.

Tuned specifically for bass, the FET input will add sparkle and life to your signal, whipping that top end into a frenzy. The germanium can at the end adds some grit to the sauce - adjust the bias to taste.

You can opt for an internal bias setting to set-and-forget your grit, or go for an external pot if you like to tinker.

Works just as well on guitar - honestly!

Spots on the board for both through-hole or SMT FET - save a couple of quid if you're handy with the tiny stuff.

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.
