With these files, you can order PCBs directly from a manufacturer (e.g., JLCPCB, PCBWay) for as little as $2 for 5 boards.
Typical production time is 3 days, and international shipping starts at $12, taking about 4 days via DHL to most locations.

Project overview:

In this PCB Guitar Mania original design, we merged the best of the SoloDallas Storm and a JFET Marshall Super Lead to bring back the purest sound of Classic Rock.

We are humbly proud of what this versatile preamp can do, emulating to perfection the iconic sound of Angus Young from AC/DC. Rock is not dead, and Aussie Storm is here to prove it!

Introduction

Aussie Storm is not only a unique design but a customizable build; choose the options that suit you:

On the preamp section, you can select either an external potentiometer o an internal trimpot for presence control. CHOOSE ONLY ONE OF THEM.

You can replace the Vactrol from the solo Dallas Storm with a Photo resistor; pick from the two options.

It features an internal charge pump to drive either circuit on 9v or 18v; remember never to dial both dipswitches ON. That might end up damaging components.

In addition the preamp section includes a toggle to switch between super lead and super bass modes for more versatility.

Are you set to rock? Because Aussie Storm is ready!
