Product Overview
A hunka hunka burning vintage overdrive tone right here.
The Power Boost was one of the major components of Gilmour's sound around DSOTM, with luscious, rich overdrive on just the right side of saturation overload.
This kit offers the choice of making the Power Boost, which likes 18V or the Overdriver, which runs at 9V. They both sound great, but the Power Boost has a lot more headroom to play with, so you get more oomph with less clipping.
Both versions can be built with either BC169C, BC184L or BC109 transistors, but opinion around here is the PB is best with 169 or 184, OD with 109. The board has been designed so you can use either without any leg twisting, despite their different pinouts.
There's an optional on-board charge pump so you can get your 18V from your standard 9V supply. Result!
The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.
