Ember Drive - Overdrive

Difficulty: Beginner

Ember Drive - Overdrive


A simple low part, compact overdrive. Use a low gain transistor for an overdriven sound, or put in an high gain Darlington transistor like the mpsa13 for a thicker, fuzzier sounding effect!

Dimensions: 22mm x 15mm
PCB Sizing: 1590a enclosure (no-special hardware required) or larger

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 "Ember Drive". Battery snap is included as well as 6 lengths 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!
*** A 100ka pot will be supplied with your Ember Drive as 250a 9mm pots are not very common.

•   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 build but will also fit the tight spacing needed for 1590a builds.
