5 from 5 Just perfect

Maybe the best booster with only one 9V battery. Thanks to Merlin, the valve guru.

5 from 5 Le meilleur

Clairement le meilleur boost que jai pu avoir. Finalement, je lutilise en permanence comme un buffer tellement il éclaircit le son et apporte plus de relief au jeu. Tout paraît fade quand vous le désactivez. Assemblage très facile et rapide. Juste une remarque : le potentiomètre nest pas fait pour être soudé directement sur le pcb, il faut donc le relier par de câbles. Ce nest pas un problème en soit, mais du coup il ny a aucun moyen de fixer le pcb dans le boitier, jai dû le laisser comme ça dans le boîtier cest pas le top. Il aurait été judicieux de laisser un trou pour pouvoir laccrocher. A part ça, ce boost est une petite bombe !

4 from 5 Great product, would benefit from better instruction sheet.

Works as advertised. Merlin Blencowe (designer) is rightly called the Valve Wizard, and his books on tube audio design are essential. The kit was complete and the PCB properly marked, I only wish that wiring instructions had been included! The .PDF explains how to populate the main circuit board but makes no mention of the switch PCB, LED resistor, jacks, potentiometer, etc. It took me another two days to figure all that out. Some photos of the completed circuit would have been helpful.

Also there are no standoffs or holes for mounting the PCB which floats freely inside the chassis - I wrapped mine in a plastic bag (with breathing holes) to prevent it from shorting out against the enclosure. Once assembled it is a very useful product. Recommended.
