Kit Options
Please select the kit options you would like included with your PCB from the checkboxes above

•   PCB Components
"PCB Components" includes all onboard components you need to build the "Facemaster" (resistors, capacitors, diode, chargepump). Battery snap is included as well as 6 lenghts of wire. Also includes, LED, current limiting resistor ("medium" brightness) and plastic bezel for mounting the led to an enclosure.

•   9mm Potentiometer
Add 9mm Alpha metal shaft potentiometers to your kit! Values included are from the Bill of Materials (link below). A 50k Bourns trimpot is also included with the 3 pots.


•   Germanium Transistor Set
Measured Fuzz Face germanium transistor set selected for this project






•   Compact Mono Jacks (2 of)
"Compact Mono Jacks (2of)" include 2 Lumberg compact mono jacks with your kit. These jacks are small in size, a good choice for tight builds and beginners but can be used for any build. Please note you will need a stereo jack if you plan to power your effect with a battery. (Stereo jacks are available in the hardware section of this store).





•   Miniature DC Jack
These DC jacks are very small and are suitable for any build not using a battery / battery switching. Especially good for 1590a builds as they are very compact.



•   Knobs
These knobs are a high quality aluminium with a grooved circumference for a nice tactile feel and a full faced indicator line. They are small in diameter (13mm), can be used for any pot that has a 6.35mm shaft but will also fit the tight spacing needed for 1590a builds
