Protean Green

This is one half of a rather nice dual blues/Nashville pedal. We've designed the PCBs so you can build the two sides of that pedal as stand alone single units, or easily combine them in a bigger box. See links below for the sister circuit and the combo kit.

This is the GREEN channel of that lovely box of tones.

Essentially a Nobels ODR-1 with some small tweaks. We've added the option to build this with the parts for the untweaked circuit which has more gain, but the makers of the dual pedal thought less was more.

Another option is to make this a four-knobber with an added bass control. The ODR-1 is notoriously bottom-heavy, so this is a nice mod (thanks AionFX).

Lots of components on this one, so it's been designed for 3mm resistors. You'll need your best specs on to read the colour codes.

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, 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 not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
