The Plus - Distortion kit

Plenty of space on the board made this very easy to solder, worked first time and Im a novice pedal builder.

Personally I sneaked in a couple of germanium diodes (1n270) in series with supplied silicon ones, the sound is phenomenal, great range on the distortion control, lovely fat lead tone, and somehow Im also getting great crunchy chords without losing definition even on the most complex chords.

The soldering is easy and straightforward, as it is the wiring. A perfect beginners project. It took me an afternoon to complete it. The sound is amazing with my vox a 15, great presence and definition of the sound. A bit too harsh when cranked but I dont like too much Distortion anyway. Together with the ts9 makes an amazing combo.

1st attempt ever for me to make an effect pedal, though I started building buffers and blenders, this kit is 100% beginner-proof. PCB is great, soldering job was easy and the components are good quality. Maybe the jacks are a bit cheap, but they do the job. It took me an afternoon to complete it, including the drilling and mounting time. Great kit for the price, the distortion effect is really good and offers a nice gain for blues and heavy music with plenty of good lows. Maiden and Black Sabbath fans, come and get this kit ! I have a lot of pleasure playing the unit, which works great on my ENGL amp and sweetly drives my 1st gain stages (The Plus sounds better than the amps crunch channel). Feels even better than my TS-9 for boosting ! Thanks, Musikding ! Ill come get some other kits again for sure !

Its my 3rd build, the last one was a Rat and for a beginner it was quite difficult for me but I did it.
This one comes with a switch pcb ( easier to solder) and potentiometers are ready to solder on the pcb, which makes you save minutes and stress of work (I mean for beginners).
The sound is great, distortion is pure, adjust volume and amount of distortion.
For enclosure, prefer the B to the 125B cause the PCB is pretty small !
There is one more jack mono with the parts, dont know why but it could be usefull later for another product
Nice product once more ;)

This was my first pedal build, fairly easy to buld with basic knowledge. Needed less than 2 hours, it worked in first try.
In sound is very similar to the original pedal.
PCB and other components looks like decent quality.

Easy to do (it was my first diy) and really much better sounding than the yellow original. I tried before with the optional C2 capacitor and then without: I prefer without, because is less treble oriented and more full sounding in the mids and bass frequencies.
Great pedal with great satisfaction to build it !!
