This is a library of perfboard and single-sided PCB effect layouts for guitar and bass. I'm not an electrical engineer by any stretch of the imagination, just a DIY'er who likes drawing layouts. It is meant for the hobbyist (so commercial use of any of these layout is not allowed without permission) and as a way to give back to the online DIY community.

The Aggressor by MOD Kits

MOD Kits has several cool effects kits that are point-to-point using tag strips. The only downside to those is they can take up a lot of space in an enclosure. Here's one of their newest circuits, The Aggressor. It's a high gain distortion effect. Here's a sound demo from their site.

  1. Not as high gain as I expected, but working great.
    One little note: I did notice an error on the PCB. The holes for the 100nf cap underneath the 4001 diode are missing.

    1. Volume 2 is the output, Volume 3 connects to Tone 2.
