MARSHALL™ BLUESBREAKER™ RTS PCB

The ready-to-solder PCB for a Marshall™ Bluesbreaker™ replica, based on the original black unit and a great tone for blues players.

About the effect

The Marshall™ Bluesbreaker™ is a low-gain, amp-like overdrive, and its circuit is the starting point for several well-known boutique pedals. This replica follows the original black unit, not the later versions that are thought to be inferior. The project includes schematics for both the original wiring and true bypass wiring.
