Having installed and got it working in my standard strat it just sounds amazing and produces a huge pallet of new tones. The Volume control acts as one would expect. The TBX has an indent at 5 which is a neutral setting. Turn clockwise and the pickups get more “sparkly” (like a presence control on an amp), counter clockwise and they become more muted a bit more like humbuckers. The effects are subtle but work well when you get the hang of it. The Tone control is interesting and really works as a signal blender. Set to 0 it only lets the sound from TBX and Volume out which I shall call “clean”. Set to 10 and it runs the signal through the mid boost amp only which I shall call “boost”. Anywhere in between and it blends a ratio of the “clean” and the “boost” signals to control the amount of extra mids wanted. Now it then gets very interesting because as the Volume control is increased, the “boost” channel starts to distort like a Tube Screamer and the Tone control allows blending of clean and distorted tones to produce a “transparent” sound which responds well to playing dynamics much like a Klon Centaur does. With the 5 way pickup selector, NoiseLess Vintage PUPs, TBX, Volume & Tone controls you actually have a versatile great sounding small pedal board on the guitar.Now for some notes on installation. I managed to install it without modifications to the guitar woodwork at all.1) Put the PWB under the bridge pickup. Layer the cavity base with self adhesive tin foil connected to ground. Insulate the board from the foil with plastic and gently screw into place. Cover the top of the PWB with electrical tape to prevent shorting to the pickup poles. It should fit quite comfortably with care.2) When replacing the output socket, carefully rotate the socket orientation, squeeze the lugs inwards and find a position that just fits the whole assembly. It will help to solder the signal wires to the inside section of the socket to allow maximum room to fit.3) The battery will fit beside the Tone control if it’s inserted on its narrowest side and pushed against the cavity wall. A bit of double sided adhesive tape will help hold it on place.4) I used a rechargeable 9v battery and installed a USBC socket through the scratch plate to recharge without having to disassemble the guitar each time. It’s quite time consuming but worth it.5) The boost amp can become unstable if not properly decoupled from the supply so I placed a 100uF 15v electrolytic across the battery terminals. Keeps it very quiet.6) Carefully study the TBX wiring as the picture supplied does not make it clear how it should be wired. There are schematics of the “Eric Clapton Mid Boost” on the web. Study those and use a DVM to buzz out the two ganged pots to understand how they work.Anyway that’s it. 3 hours of hard work and my old MIM strat is now an Eric Clapton Special for a fraction of the price. Definitely worth the effort !! Highly recommended !!!!

I had this installed and was so looking forward to playing live with the mid boost circuit but I was disappointed with the tonal change.The quality of the circuit was good but for me it wasn’t what I was hoping for. I took it off after one gig and went back to stock. It definitely does what it claims but personally I didn’t like it

Fitted to my lace sensor gold fitted strat, the new colour diagram is much easier to read and took about an hour to fit , absolutely love that you can dial in the boost to give nice edgy blues tones or full on distortion for solos
