Sonic Stamp

Difficult to know where to start with this one. It would appear to be a simple EQ, with controls for Lo Contour (bass) and Process (Treble), but it really isn't. I never really understood what an 'exciter' rack unit did to a signal, other than make it sound 'more'. Honestly, I'm still not sure, but this pedal does the job on a guitar signal. With the correct knob twiddling it's like opening the door of a practice room to hear what's going on inside. Everything becomes clear and you're at one with your signal universe.

You have the option to expand on the simple two-knob awesomeness with this kit. We've added an optional mids control, as well as three-way toggle switches to alter the frequency range affected by each of the two main controls (thanks to AionFX - great work!).

We say keep it simple, as you could lose your mind trying out the full range of sonic possibilities with all the options included. It depends how much you like to tweak. It all works nicely in any of the option combos.

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.
