General Guitar Gadgets Strato Blaster Kit

 This kit is a stompbox version replica of the awesome Alembic Stratoblaster booster. The original was a plug in-to-guitar-jack format, this one is pedal-board friendly and includes a potentiometer Volume control with a more even taper for smooth control. It is a JFET powered booster that drives amp input tubes into wonderful overdrive tones and also has a great overdrive by itself when the JFET goes into overdrive on the higher volume settings. It sounds great even into a solid sate amp. This replica kit has a true (total) bypass switch with an LED indicator circuit attached.

This kit includes all the parts and materials you need to build a replica of the effect above mentioned  including the PCB.   (trademarks mentioned here belong to their owners, not General Guitar Gadgets)
