Shatterbox style circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the Shatterbox pedal. The board is styled after the later version with a printed circuit rather than a stripboard construction. This is the same board that was used in the “split board” version which can be built by cutting the board down the middle to separate the fuzz section from the treble booster section. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. This board includes a blank mounting PCB. This PCB sits directly beneath the main board to mount it directly to the enclosure using screws.

4.40" x 2.38" x 1.65" (112mm x 61m x 42mm) diecast aluminum enclosure. Equivalent to the Hammond 1590BS enclosure. This enclosure is a taller version of the 1590B allowing for top mounted jack and more overall area for larger projects.

Zonk Machine style circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the Zonk Machine pedal. The board is styled after the early version that featured a printed circuit rather than a stripboard construction. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. This board includes a blank mounting PCB. This PCB sits directly beneath the main board to mount it directly to the enclosure using screws. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

Original replacement for Fender® amps. ¼" Stereo Input Jack that has 9 PCB mount terminals.

Painted phenolic knobs with a set screw and brass insert. These unique knobs closely match the colorful RCA style of knobs used on vintage test equipment, radios, studio consoles and other equipment. They are sometimes referred to as fester knobs. These classic knobs are painted to match the style of the original painted RCA knobs. The paint is a durable chip-resistant coating. The RCA style knobs feature an inlay indicator line. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

• Height: 0.792 in. (20.1 mm)
• Diameter: 1.293 in. (33 mm)
• Fits ¼" shaft with set screw

ECB233 boost / distortion kick switch. Original Dunlop replacement part. Used in the SW95 Crybaby Slash Wah. Through hole PCB mount.

Standard size terminal strips, 1/16" thick bakelite, tin plated steel solder lugs and brackets. 7 lugs, first and seventh lug common.

Standard size terminal strips, 1/16" thick bakelite, tin plated steel solder lugs and brackets.

Carling mini-toggle switch, DPDT, ideal for phase switching, coil-tapping, series/parallel pickup switching in guitars. This switch features a flattened actuator.

• 0.354" bushing length
• 2 Position On-On
• ¼" mounting hole diameter
• Double pole/Double throw (DPDT)

Metal stamp set with nine stamps for the numbers 0 through 9. The 6 stamp is also used for 9. The height of a stamped numeral is 0.125”. These stamps mark single characters by indenting the mark into the surface of a material. The process is simple, requiring only a hammer to strike the stamp onto the material. This stamp set is a great tool for adding control labels to projects such as pedal enclosures.

High quality vactrols from Xvive. The Xvive vactrols are clones of the original Excelitas / Perkins-Elmer vactrols used in many effects pedals, synthesizers, compressors and other equipment. These vactrols feature a thick epoxy sealed casing. The VTL5C3 and VTL5C3/2 both have a steep slope, good dynamic range, a very low temperature coefficient of resistance, and a small light history memory.

Black stripboard featuring a 0.15” vintage spacing. This spacing is great for vintage-style builds and more easily accommodates axial capacitors and other larger sized vintage parts like resistors and transistors. The board has 40 x 20 holes (20 strips). Each strip is HASL coated making soldering easier than most protoboards and also ensures a long shelf life. Features:

• High-quality 1.6mm FR4 glass-epoxy circuit board
• HASL coated strips
• 40 x 20 holes (20 strips)
• 6.14” x 3.15”

Genuine Carling DPDT 3-position mini toggle switch with solder lugs. These switches feature a flattened actuator.

• 0.354" bushing length
• 3-Position
• ¼" chassis hole diameter
• DPDT ( Double Pole/ Double Throw) switch
• Solder Lugs

Spring loaded center punch with an adjustable force for aligning pilot holes when drilling into materials. The large handle makes the push-to-strike action simple and accurate. Rotating the red handle adjusts the force amount.

Rugged, diecast aluminum alloy chassis box. Equivalent to Hammond's P-H1590A.

Standard size terminal strips, 1/16 thick bakelitetin plated steel solder lugs and brackets on 3/8" centers. 5 lug 1 ground first lug common

Single position machine pin sockets. These pressfit sockets are mounted by inserting into a PCB hole and applying some force. They stay firmly in place with tension and can then be easily soldered to the circuit board. These sockets can fit any pin spacing, such as the non-standard 0.15” spacing of the vintage-style stripboard (vs. 0.10” on standard stripboard). They can also jump rows so that they are not all in a line. The press-fit machine pin sockets are also very low profile and have a very minimal impact on the resulting look of the build. For pins sizes .015 -.025". The recommended mounting hole diameter is 0.057".

This electronic component storage box works great for storing caps, pots, resistors and other electronic components. Made of plastic.

Genuine Dunlop replacement potentiometer for Dunlop/ MXR pedals. PC mount, 47K audio taper, knurled shaft.

Turret strip, with 12 turrets. Measures 77mm x 32mm.

New-old-stock Soviet pilot lights that fit screw base bulbs. These lights have a unique bakelite frame and bakelite bezel. The lights come with a 6.3V bulb but can be used with any G-3-½ screw base bulb. The diameter of the light is 0.785” and the diameter of the mounting hole is 0.625”. Includes a bakelite mounting nut. Note: A small 0.2” notch must either be filed into the 0.625” mounting hole or filed off of the light to flush mount with a panel.

New old stock radial capacitors from Siemens with 10mm lead spacing. These 0.22uF film capacitors are rated for 250V. The construction matches the style found in vintage equipment such as the MKIII and MKIV Tone Bender pedals.

Mounting bracket for vintage fuzz PCBs. This bracket is an exact replica of the bracket found in the Italian made Vox Tone Bender V828 pedals. The mounting width for the board is 1.35” which fits the P-PC-FUZZ-JEN, P-PC-BEND-MKII-BRN, and any other vintage spacing (0.15”) stripboard. The PCB mounting holes are threaded for M3 screws (sold separately). The two potentiometer holes are spaced 1.95” center to center and fit potentiometers with ⅜” bushings or smaller.

The PadBoard-2 prototyping circuit board has a general purpose pad-per-hole pattern which is good for analog and digital use. It is a double-sided board with plated holes, which allows components to be soldered to either side of the board. A square pad is provided every 5th hole, which makes it easy to align components on the top and bottom of the board. Features
