Kits and Modules
Use this kit to provide selection and bypass for your 2-stage effects pedal project.
The design requires 2 momentary action switches, 2 LEDs and M3 mounting hardware in addition to the components provided.
This design has two latching relays. The first relay provides overall bypass and the second relay provides A-B selection. With the unit in bypass, stomping the A-switch puts the pedal into A-mode. Stomping A-switch again goes back to bypass. With the unit in bypass, stomping the B-switch put the pedal into B-mode. Stomping the B-switch again goes back to bypass. If the unit is in A-mode, stomping the B switch goes to B-mode and vice versa.
This means you can switch between two effects or two versions of the same effect with only one stomp.

Professional-quality hand-built piezo preamp module for building into stompboxes, cajons, cigar-box guitars, etc Low distortion, very low noise, wide-bandwidth matched-JFET preamp with XLR output.
- Suitable for direct connection to mixing console with balanced microphone input and phantom power.
- Takes away the need for external DI box/preamp.
- Complete with input cable for direct connection to Piezo transducer element and mounting screws for XLR socket.
Notes: Piezo transducer element not supplied. You will need to fully shield the inside of your instrument using copper foil tape or alternatively mount the unit in a shielded enclosure.
We sell many of these preamps to artists creating installation pieces where they are used to facitlitate musical interactivity between the public and the installation piece. They have also been used for custom mulit-channel electro-percussion instruments.
We sell many of these preamps for use as preamplifier for hydrophone transducers.
Available as an option with the XLR connector not supplied as often customers wish to solder the output cable directly to the printed circuit board.
The Phantom Piezo preamp has been redesigned with extended low and high frequency response. The JFETs are still hand-selected and matched. The capacitors are C0G/NP0 for minimal/no microphony. Note that the V2 preamp is still available for those who want a hand-built all-JFET product.

Supplied with expert construction guide. Download the full construction and user guide from the downloads tab. Note: does not include stomp switch or LED. The latest software revision (1N) allows you to preset whether the effect powers-up in effect-on or effect-bypass mode and also gives an indication that the battery voltage is low.
Specifications: supply voltage: 7-20V d.c., length: 27mm width: 29mm depth (height): 11mm.
Professional-quality hand-built piezo preamp module for building into stompboxes, cajons, cigar-box guitars, hydrophones, etc.
Low distortion, very low noise, wide bandwidth matched-JFET preamp with high impedance unbalanced input and 1/4" jack unbalanced output.
- Suitable for direct connection to mixing console/DAW/Amplifier.
- Solder connections for piezo element.
- Panel-mounted via 11mm (7/16") hole.
- Supplied with 9V battery clip.
This product requires a power supply which may be derived from a standard 9V battery or a regulated, smoothed d.c. power supply with a voltage between 4V and 24V. A power supply voltage between 9V and 18V is recommended.
Note: Piezo transducer element not supplied. Murata 7BB-35-3 recommended. You will also need to fully shield the inside of your instrument using copper foil tape or install the preamp in a shielded enclosure.
