Fans of the Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit with a knack for soldering may want to check out the Anasound Blues Believer, available as a DIY kit for around $135 and a full kit for around $150.
This is an evolution of the revered pedal that recreates the magical bright yet transparent tone of the original, offering a few extra options in the shape of two toggle switches and two internal trim pots to widen the tonal palette:
The Voice toggle filters out some of the high frequencies for a warmer overall sound, while the Disto switch adds a third saturation stage to the classic two-stage circuit, producing full-fledged distortion results.
The two trim pots inside the case allow the circuit’s gain to be increased for extra saturation.
