Outstanding always on overdrive! Used with the right diodes this thing pushes my other dirt pedals like a champ! Customer service is amazing!

Awesome sounding pedal and that’s with the 1N4148’s I had lying around. I can’t wait to see how the MA856’s sound when they arrive!

Amazing little overdrive. I’ve been a fan of BB style pedals for a while and the KoT (or PoT) circuit is my favorite, particularly when playing through single coil PUs. The board layout is nice, and not too crowded, which made the build very easy.
I enjoy this layout more than the paragon style layout because the clipping switch options are external, and you can enable the high gain mod with an internal switch.
I would’ve put two of these into a single box for more of a classic KoT layout, but I could only find 4 MA856’s (Good luck on these).
This, followed with by a K(liche), are now my prefered stack on my boards.

I built this with BA282s and it sounded great to me. Nothing difficult about the build at all.

I used 1s1588 diodes instead. It sounds great with turbo on. The pcb could use more room for the 1uf box film capacitor, but it was also fine to make it cram in there otherwise. Love the sound of this pedal. Unbelievable tone.
