Yellow Purl Drive

Transparent drives... lots of them around, but there's always room for one more. This one is a beauty.

It sounds sweet into a clean amp, giving a large range of break-up options from low to medium-high. Into an already overdriven amp it'll push it right into the creamy sweet spot.

Standard Vol, Drive and Tone controls aren't enough for this puppy. Two three-way switches give you high-cut and clipping options to make this one very versatile box that'll tweak to match any set up.

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 enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.
