The BYOC Overdrive is a guitar fx pedal which comes in kit form. You receive all the parts, you download the instructions, then you assemble and solder it all together. It's based on old circuits and is meant to be a clone of the TS9 and TS808; essentially it's a tubescreamer pedals in a kit.

As mentioned in that article, the internal trim-pot was a little too high, however the distortion is still musical in quality so I thought it worth recording.
