Spitting stoner/doom machine

Easy to build. Nice distortion/fuzz collapsing sound. Sensitive to guitar volume/tone. Many tones in one knob box!

Great stoner doom tones

Really easy to build and it sounds surprisingly good. I wasnt expecting anything useable for this price, but this pedal actually nails some perfect stoner doom tones. And under the right circumstances, you can hear radio through it :) Maybe its just LM386 thing, maybe my poor soldering skills, but it can be solved by adding a battery clip.

Real nice kit for beginners

This kit is perfect for beginners, few pieces but al kinds (caps, resistors, chips, plugs, switch, pots...) , good to begin understanding electronics.
plus, sounds awesome when finished.
detail: the switch pcb has input and output inverted, out on the right and in on the left, i spent like 1 hour wondering why it wasnt working. i just was plugging it reverse -_-

My first build...

Pedal sounds great! Its my first pedal build going in with 0 experience in electronics or soldering. My only gripe with this product; for a complete beginner the build documentation is very minimal in my opinion. Prepare to do some googling and troubleshooting along the way. Musikding also has a forum. I posted a question about a problem during building this thing and got a reply and solution within a day.

So if youre a beginner like me, maybe start with something a little easier like recommended in the boosters header of the kits. Other than that, would totally recommend. Pedal is awesome.
