The Acapulco - Overdrive kit

Nice easy kit, great sound

Put this together in about an hour and a half, the schematic was a bit hard to follow for someone with minimal electrical knowledge but I wound up just following pictures of other peoples builds and it worked first try! Sounds ridiculously good, half-way between fuzz and distortion but keeps note clarity and sounds even fatter with a Rat or boost before it. Must-have pedal for doom lovers.

An easy circuit for beginners, and a fun effect once built. 5/5

This pedal is an absolute beast. You can use it as a straight up power amp distortion, which will melt the paint on your walls, but you can also turn it to about 9 oclock and roll off on your volume knob for some outstanding overdrive tones. Easy build. Good beginner project for sure. Your neighbors will love you for it!

This kit is very easy to assemble, and it sounds very close to the original.
So close that I sold the original one and kept my clone !

Such a simple circuit, such a massive sound. I thought I had done something wrong when I could hear loud squeeling and 90s internet noises thru it, but apparently thats something that happens when you run the volume past 6ish.

This was my second pedal build. It was very easy to build. Nothing over 9 oclock works with my setup, since the gain is crazy loud. But this seems to be also in the original circuit from the original.
It cleans up nicely if you dial down the guitar.

Eccellente kit per realizzare questo Acapulco Gold, un suono maestoso e mastodontico! Facile da assemblare, soddisfazione al 100%! Ottimo con la chitarra e col basso!

C’est le tout premier kit de chez Musikding que j’ai assemblé, assez facile mêlant et avec peu de notions électroniques (je sais souder mais j’ai appris à lire un schéma).
Le son est brutal, superbe.
Le rêve de tous les fans de stoner, doom et consorts.
Utilisée dans un ampli à lampes Ace Colt sur le canal plexi, avec une Les Paul et c’est un mur de d’overdrive + Fuzz qui vous décroche les tympans !!!
Merci pour ce superbe kit qui a fonctionné du premier coup !
