Piledriver Pedal Kit, Power Boost Pedal

This pedal is similar to the Halifax Bass Boost (circa 1969). The only performance criticism is that the potentiometer jumps up considerably when you get near the full on position. Other than that, it's a blast to use. I will likely buy another one and upgrade some of the components.

Great tone! An easy build with good instructions (you still need to know how to use a soldering iron though!) All parts were quality EXCEPT the output jack which was a cheap, cheesy Chinese jack, input jack was a Switchcraft (the best), luckily I had an extra Switchcraft jack laying around for the output jack. Shame on whoever included that cheesy output jack, an extra .10c gets you a Swithcraft. I still give it a 5-Excellent for the tone, makes everythings sound sweeter, adds chime and charm to chords and notes, and if you ever need to WHALLUP an amp input this can can really do it with 38db on tap.

This kit was so easy to build and now it's my go to cut-through-the-bologna pedal. I use it at large jam session house parties. If there's some drunko playin' too loud, I stomp on this to cut through that bologna!
