MOD® Kits – Step Ladder, Input Attenuator
$107.99
The Step Ladder is a passive input attenuator using high-quality components for excellent reliability.
True-bypass mode provides the maximum signal level. The attenuator pot and two toggle switches allow for flexibility in the amount of signal attenuation when not in bypass mode. Treble bleed capacitors in the circuit retain crisp high frequencies even at maximum attenuation.
The Step Ladder is ideal for anything from getting a slight boost while playing single-note acoustic guitar leads or for jumping from clean to overdrive in a high-gain electric guitar amp. The Step Ladder’s compact size (3 3/4” x 1 1/2” x 1 1/4” enclosure) fits in most guitar cases. Its battery-free operation ensures that it’ll be ready to go whenever you need it.

With even more components than the level-two projects, if you have soldering experience and are not intimidated by building complicated circuits contained in tight spaces, then this build level should be okay for you. There is a level of ingenuity that comes from previous build experience which allows you to anticipate assembly challenges and find alternate approaches that may work better for you. These projects will be much easier for those people who have attained some level of ingenuity from experience.
Pedals: The Contortionist, The Contortionist II, The Penetrator, The Ring Resonator, The Rock Bottom, The Trill Tremolo, Tone Attack.

Expert – Level 5
If you have a good amount of experience with soldering, are not intimidated by building complex circuits and are confident about working safely with high-voltage electronics, then this build level should be okay for you. There is a level of ingenuity that comes from previous build experience which allows you to anticipate assembly challenges and find alternate approaches that may work better for you. These projects will be much easier for those people who have attained some level of ingenuity from experience.
