Project overview:
The Sinner amp is truckload of great amps in a single pedal. Based on Sans Amp GT2, this circuit
allows you to dial the perfect tone by choosing 3 types of amplifiers, 3 types of mods and the
speaker/mic configuration.
Real measures are:
85mm width x 81mm height
3.34” width x 3.18” height

Introduction
Choose amplifier type, modification and speaker cabinet/mic placement, create your own rig in
seconds. You can easily achieve the most sought-after tube amp tones.
Playing with the different combinations you can achieve any guitar tone you want, from the American
tweed to the classic British or modern California (Messa Boogie).
The circuit also has a 2-knobs baxandall tone control to adjust the treble and base frequencies.
This project has been designed for using 3 rotary switches instead of the traditional sliders, also we
included status LEDs for each mode.
Controls
The Gain and Volume controls are pretty much self-explanatory, the interesting part of the controls are
the Baxandall tone control, that works excellent for cutting or boosting the bass and treble frequencies,
and of course the 3 rotary switches explained below:
Amp modes
Tweed = Fender®-style
British = Marshall®-style
California = Mesa Boogie®-style
Mod type
Clean, which gives you a stock tube amp set-up.
Hi Gain, which gives you an extra gain stage, as if you were to install an additional
12AX7 tube in the pre-amp section.
Hot-Wired, which gives you a scooped-out midrange for a sizzling, over-the-edge quality.
Mic Type
Classic = distant miking without ambiance.
Center = close miking at the center of a speaker cone.
Off-Axis = close miking at the edge of a speaker cone.

Components Recommendations
This board has been tested using Film box capacitors for most of the values over 1nf, and ceramics
discs for the ones under 1nf. However, high quality components such as Wima’s Capacitors and
Panasonic’s electrolytics can deliver a better performance.
All the resistors used for testing this project are 1/4W Metal Film.
The BOM and Shopping list are exclusively regarding this project. It doesn’t include all the hardware like
the 3PDT bypass switch, audio/dc jacks, enclosure, etc.
The TLC2262CP* is a dual OpAmp “rail-to-rail”, which means these ICs can deliver much more output
without unwanted distortion or saturation. However they share the same pin out as a normal TL072 or
any other classic dual OmAmp, so you can socket and try many others, personally I think that the
TL2272CP, that’s also a rail to rail OpAmp, works great. Socket and try!
For the 4P3T** I used the following ones
https://www.musikding.de/Rotary-switch-4P3T-sealed-pcb
https://www.taydaelectronics.com/rotary-switch-4-pole-3-position-alpha-sr2612f.html
Set the steps of the rotary with the washer and the ring on 3 positions each.
Dual Led common anode*** This type of LED has three Legs, being the central one the anode, the one
where it’s feed with the voltage. For this project the rotary switches are connected to the LEDs in order
to change the color according to the program.
As this LEDS have only two different colors, so for the third position both colors are enabled. Try to
choose a LED with two contrasting colors such as Red and Blue so for the third position you’ll have a
nice Purple light.
Also you can choose if you want to set the Mode LEDs as “always on” or to turn them on-off while it’s on
bypass mode.
Build Notes
If this is one of your first projects I recommend you to take a look on our Pedal Building Guide
For a successful and tidy build it’s recommended the following order:
1. Resistors & diodes
2. Capacitors, starting with the smaller ones and the ceramic ones.
3. Electrolytic capacitors (always check the polarity)
4. Transistors
5. Wires
6. Potentiometers and switches
7. Off board wiring

Wiring Diagram
All our projects include a free 3PDT Board to make the wiring easier and tidier. Also all of our PCBs
feature the status LED on board.
The pad named “Ctrl” or “LED” is the one that controls the status of the led, wire it to the “LED”pad on
the 3PDT board, or in control slug of your 3PDT.
You can take a look on the following diagram to understand the general connections. For further
information check our Pedal Wiring guide.
Here below we have two ways of wiring the circuit. First you can see there’s a wire going out from the
LED pad in between the rotary switches to the Control Led pad, this allows us to turn ON the rotary
mode LEDs when the pedal is engaged and to turn it off once the pedal is on Bypass mode.
The second diagram is to wire the rotary switches LEDs as Always On, independently of the bypass and
the 3PDT.
Choose which one fits better your needs.

This Project has been planned to fit into a 1590BB enclosure type.
Check the Attached “Drilling templates” to drill the box properly. The files are on Scale 1:1, ready to
print in an A4 page.
This is A SUPER TIGHT BUILD TO BOX! Measure all your parts multiple times before drilling to make
sure it will fit perfectly.
Here below are the jacks I used for boxing this project.

Licensing and Usage
We really appreciate your trust and support buying this PCB, as well as your will to dive into the DIY
electronics world. That’s why for us is really important that you can make this project work properly and
to enjoy not only the building process, but also to experiment and play with it on your rig.
We try to reply to every question we receive on our email or in our social media, but we try to encourage
all our customers to join our PCB Guitar Mania – Builders Group on Facebook, in order to post all your
doubts, issues, suggestions or request, as well to share your builds and have some feedback from us
and other fellow builders!
All of our projects have been tested following this same guide on their standard configurations.
Although, not all of the variations and mods have necessarily been tested. These are suggestions based
on the schematic analysis, and on the experiences and opinions of others. Feel free to share with us
your opinions and suggestions regarding the mods your own personal experimentation.
These boards may be used for commercial endeavors in any quantity unless specifically noted. No
attribution is necessary, though accreditation or a link back is always greatly appreciated.
If you are a builder planning to make your own run of pedals we also offer the service of custom made
boards with your brand and logo, design according your specifications.
The only usage restrictions are that, first, you cannot resell the PCB as part of a kit without prior
arrangement with us, and second, you cannot scratch off the silk screen, or other way of trying to hide
our logos and the source of the PCBs. Like it’s written above, if you want to have your own designs, with
your brand and logo we could certainly reach an agreement.
