The Persuader Tube Drive Effects Pedal Kit

Fun build. The instructions don't always follow the most logical layout in terms of wiring (for example you may have to go back and wire under other soldered connections). The background noise is VERY low for the amount of output available. At unity output with the pre-gain cranked this pedal is fuzzy, but the magic in this pedal is using it's very high volume output to push your preamp tubes in addition to the internal gain. Worth the price and very touch responsive. More of a tube based mild-fuzz/boost than an overdrive. I have almost no soldering experience, and mine turned out great.

Great pedal and Cool color! It makes a handy tube tester besides a real tube overdrive, you can get different gains and tones with an assortment of various tubes. Excellent and easy to follow instuctions with layout pictures, and You made it Yourself!

This is SWEET! I also bought 5 other 12AX7's and each one gives it a different tone, it comes with an unbranded tube which I think is Chinese I tried the Tung Sol, The JJ and the E-H all made sound different this thing is cool!

I really wanted a tube overdrive and this worked out great! It took me four hours, but it was well worth it, and the best part - is that I BUILT IT MYSELF!
