Description

The Chapel Of Tone is a very dynamic booster/overdrive pedal. It is based on 60's Plexi Amps in the American version with 6550 power amp tubes. It also works very well with other Overdrive pedals, which leads to more sustain, tone and overall dynamics.

This kit contains all parts you need to build a fully functional effect pedal. Also very useful:

Not included in the kit, but also good to have:

  • Aluminium enclosure: select one on the top
  • DC power supply
  • 3 nice knobs for 6.3mm shafts
  • Decal, transfer or transparent sheets for labeling

5 from 5 Always-on

Basic design, easy build. Clean, transparent and fresh sound. Very stackable. Works great as an always-on pedal.

Bias controls the overall overdrive - volume, gain and tone (2N5088 transistor). With tonestack you can get a more vintage sound. Master volume controls output signal, which at 10 -in this configuration- is just above unity gain.

Careful with the OA1182 diodes, they break easily. Also, consider socketing the diodes, and try out different ones.

Note: on the pcb D1 (right below GND and +9V) should say D3 (power section).

5 from 5 Cool pedal!

Just finished building the pedal and got it tested for the first time. I must say that this thing rocks! Sounds best when played through overdriven amp. The build was easy, there arent many components so this is good beginners (like me) kit. This was my second kit from Musikding, another one was The Cranker which is also awesome product. But both of these kits have weird grounding problem when powered by PSU. With battery, they have no issues..... hmmm...

5 from 5 One of the best overdrives and a great starter kit

Recommend this pedal to everyone. Here are some comments:

1. Please read the comment by Antal A. from 13.04.2021. There is a small error in the PCB which is easy to fix.
2. Ive built a couple of COT clones in the past, but this one sounds the most balanced. It has no noise and the switch is satisfyingly quiet, compared to my other builds.
3. The gain range on this kit doesnt go into nasty fuzz as some other versions do.
4. This kit adds a volume and tone knob (low pass filter). The volume is super handy because I like to set my drives at the same volume as clean.
5. My germanium diodes broke as well. From my other builds I already knew that BAT42 diodes sound awesome in this pedal, so I recommend you purchase two of these alongside with this build.
