Well this will keep me busy for a while. All recieved in good condition and fairly quickly! Can't wait to pick one and start building! Great combo deal (American bundle) with 2 more PCBs at labor day prices!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Jacob Vance: Griddle growl

I was the one that asked Darren to make this pedal. I sold my hotcake years ago and regretted it but Darren knocked this out the park and nailed it!
Doesn't sound like a pedal, it sounds like a driven tube amp and that's what I love

Wow, this pedal is nuts! It has more gain than you could possibly EVER need, it's insane! It has an internal trimmer pot to add EVEN MORE gain!! I was really blown away by this one. It's a very tight modern sounding heavy distortion. GREAT EQ options, and reasonably easy to build!.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Bret Williams: Very Powerful EQ for a STEAL!

This is a GREAT sounding EQ pedal. The build is very straightforward and easy, there aren't a ton of parts and the PCB is very clean and laid out nicely. This one doesn't come with an LED, but there is an extra 9V pad at the top, so I was able to get and LED ran in there, just took a bit of hookup wire, but it works.

I really cant express enough how powerful this eq is, its loud and bright and full, and you can shape your tone any way you would like or need, or even just use it to make small adjustments for a non-ideal practice or gig space. This is really a steal for what it is.

I did have a couple of questions about the routing of the input jacks and DC jack on this one, but the company was very responsive and helpful through email support and helped me get this up and running in no time!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Bret Williams: This one was a test, but I am very happy with it

Wow this one was a test for sure, it took me some time, and tested my patience and knowledge and skills a handful of times, but I was able to get through it all, and am VERY happy with the result.

This pedal when it's done kicks ass. The rotatory dial to choose from 7 different clipping options is great, you can get all kinds of flavor of overdrive and distortion and they all sound great. I really love the 2 channels, you set the Level and Gain on one side dialed back and the other with more Level and/or Gain and switch between the too for boosts etc. It's a really great idea.

During the build I did have some issues, particularly with position 7 in the rotary switch, which is 2 transistors and 1 diode. I ended up working with the support email and we tried a few things and got this working, ended up needing to solder 2 legs of 1 of the transistors together and flip it around but it works and sounds GREAT.

Darren was SUPER helpful with this one. I can't express enough how understanding, patient, and kind he was when dealing with my flood of questions and assistance I needed with this one. He was always available, and willing to help and VERY pleasant to deal with!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from mike: One of the best PCBs for Sunn Beta I've used

I've tried a few different PCBs from different makers and this one was the one that worked out best for me. I ended up buying two and put them in an enclosure so I could replicate the dual channels of the original. Added a mixer circuit to blend to get the parallel output.

This circuit is extremely close to what's in the beta. I have mine going into a standalone power amp and into an orange cab and it rips. I was getting a bit of noise at first but then I figured out that I had gotten bootleg charge pump ics off eBay. Got some real ones from a more reputable store and I've had no noise or oscillation issues at all.

Anyway, this thing is a ripper.
