## Description

The Thunderdrive is an overdrive pedal kit that will provide a signal boost at low gain settings and its own distortion at maximum gain settings. You can use it to push your preamp into overdrive or as a source of smooth distortion. Adjusting volume control and gain control results in a wide variety of tones in spite of its simple construction.This pedal is capable of overdriving the preamp section of your guitar amp or adding its own layer of distortion at lower volume. Using point to point wiring and easy to follow instructions you can have a working overdrive pedal in a matter of hours.All you need to provide is solder and a soldering iron. Uses 9 volt battery which is not included.

Review: Works as advertised. Sounds good. - This is a great little kit! it handles something of a clean boost, all the way to where something like a DS-1 picks up. The instructions are very clear and the pedal sounds like you'd expect and hope. It's a fun project with the heavy lifting already done for you. My build is slightly noisy with the gains very high, but that's to be expected on a first build and this type of circuit if i'm not mistaken. It's not distracting, so who cares. It was fun to build with modest soldering and electronics skill, and sounds good. I'll be looking for more like this.
Review: Four Stars - Good, easy to make. But overall a nice pedal with little defects!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars
*by A***R on July 2, 2014*

Good, easy to make. But overall a nice pedal with little defects!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy enough for an eleven year-old to build, guitarist parent was very happy (-
*by C***W on February 14, 2020*

I helped an eleven year-old to build this. The instructions were excellent and only a little extra help was needed. This particular eleven year-old has done some soldering before, although mostly PCBs rather than 'free' or 'point to point' as with this kit. We had trouble testing and in the end had to wait until it was given to the guitarist parent to try it out. Didn't work first time but a little visual inspection and we found and fixed the problem. If there's a shortcoming with this project it's that there's not much by way of troubleshooting advice, nor any advice about testing during assembly (e.g. using a multimeter across solder points) which I think might be helpful. I'm no musician but it sounded alright to me. Everyone was very happy about the whole thing.
