This is a fully assembled, tested, and warranted to be free of defects in manufacturing or assembly for one year from date of purchase or your money back by Bethlehem Guitars! There are DIY kits out there that you can build yourself for less, but unless you know how to solder, assemble, and have patience, it isn't for everybody.

It is a great boost pedal that moves from clean, to crunch, to clipped distortion through many variations.
