Build your own treble boost on the cheap

The Penetrator, from Mod Kits DIY, doesn’t just have a great name—it’ll set you back a mere $40.

Forty bucks won’t score you much when it comes to guitar pedals. But if you know a thing or two about simple soldering and don’t really care about brands, then check out the new pedal kit from Mod Kits DIY: The Penetrator.

The gloriously named stompbox is a treble boost that adds enough “glistening harmonics” to push your amp into overdrive, the company claims. Everything about the pedal is utilitarian: There’s only one knob to adjust the level of boost, and it’s housed in a no-nonsense aluminum enclosure.
