The If A Dirt, A Dirt isn't just a voltage starve box—it's a creative tool that injects life (or glorious death) into your pedalboard. Designed to simulate the squashed, unpredictable charm of a dying 9V battery, it’s great for fuzz pedals and lo-fi effects—but don’t stop there. Use it to experiment with overdrives, modulation, and even analog delays, revealing textures you didn’t know were hiding in your gear.
Whether you're shaping tone, testing DIY builds with precision, or just dialing in that sputtery, choked breakup that makes vintage pedals sound alive, this unit delivers. With a smooth-grit switch, real-time voltage meter, and true bypass, you can quickly jump between clean power and starved madness—while the LED dims along with your voltage, giving you visual feedback as you tweak.

Shipping & Build Time
Please note: This unit is available for pre-order only. Each one is rigorously burned in and tested to ensure top-tier performance—whether you're jamming at home, rehearsing, or hitting the stage. Because of this thorough process, shipping typically takes 1–2 weeks after your order is placed.
WARNING
Do not use with digital or high-current pedals—this box is designed strictly for analog circuits. Inadequate voltage can damage sensitive digital electronics. But for analog lovers? A dying battery is pure magic.
