  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Super easy to build! Would almost call it a beginner Pedal. To my ears the four Knob version from PCB guitar mania makes it so much more useful than the original pedal!

    Really agree with Stefan Röhl:
    Easy to build, useful with the 4 knobs, it has taken the place of the original in my board!

    After testing this for the first time, I gently set my guitar down and picked up my phone to order 4 more of these. It’s crazy that EQD has thought of this. It kills the original AG, even with the Blend knob alone. Very versatile pedal. So many wonderful tones to be had with this guy. Great layout and low parts count. Highly recommend building this one! Thanks for a phenomenal circuit!! Also, none of the mods (mentioned in the build docs) are needed -they must’ve worked out the kinks in the newer version.
