Salon Drive

Time to spruce up your drive tone with a trip to the salon.

Blah blah transparent. Blah responsive. (Insert other nonsense here). Hyperbole aside, this is one of the sweetest overdrives to ever grace our test rig. It really is like an extension of your amp's natural tones.

Toggle the tone switch to fiddle with your frequencies and swivel that Sag pot to give you a vast range of play. Awesome.

Save a couple of quid if you're confident with soldering SMT parts - they're tiny and fiddly, but cheaper.

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.
