Not something I usually do but I've been getting a lot of questions regarding this specific board lately.

So this is probably the second most popular board I do. It's based on the lead channel of the Krankenstein with a few changes tonestack changed from plate driven to a cathode follower setup and slightly different values.

There is a lot of bad talk regarding this circuit online but it's essentially just a super pi**ed off marshall. The problem comes in when people try to dial it in with their eyes rather than ears as it has a lot of range with the sweep pot so it's very easy to make it sound terrible.

Anyway enough waffle here's some audio.

I'm currently testing a 2ch preamp board which will replace this and a full amp version has been tested by a friend. Both should be out after the new year. So the current board will be discounted until it's gone.

The power amp pcb is back in stock as well as a few colours of the Lnd150 loop + jupiter preamp pcbs

Designed for the modern musician this power amp has 20w output power using either 6V6 or Russian 6P6S valves. This power amp will deliver enough volume to fill most venues but not be overkill and has tonal shaping features for the high and low end response. With optional Bite & Feel toggles you can....

So I'm going over things I've said I'd get to over the last year.

Starting work on a iic+ ish project
Thinking of the following changes
Seperate volume 1
Seperate tonestacks
Geq per channel
Digital reverb?
Marshallish poweramp 20-100w.

Is this still something people are after?

And to wrap this post up i'm offering 10% off the whole basket from today until the 5th of November. use the code 'giveme10' at checkout. Thanks again for all of your support!

Here's a quick recording of the final revision of the Osiris Preamp ch2. I have a few spare PCBs for this that have a lot of incorrect silkscreens (values from the original version) on but are fully functional otherwise. If anyone is interested shoot me a message.
