This kit uses "shunt" switch elements for silent, reliable channel selection or gain stepping. Four transistors create and control two control lines that respond to a remote footswitch. Any required number of jfet switches can be connected to these lines. For example, using the ERK to select the channels of the Guitar Preamp Kit or the Fender Preamp Mod requires one jfet on the control line to mute the 'Clean' channel, and two jfets on the second control line to mute the 'Lead' channel.

Power is easily obtained from the raw bias supply or the plate winding in typical tube amps. London Power's Power Supply Kits (62VA, 223VA, 383VA) provide a separate auxiliary winding for switching circuits. The layout indicates circuit card construction, with those materials available in the Circuit Card Kit, but more experienced builders may choose perf-board or PCB construction.
