The Plague Bearer Barebones Pack (PBBP) is a low-cost alternative to the standalone or a module. The PBBP contains just enough components to provide full functionality, no extras or “frills”. The PBBP can be customized, however, with different knob colors, extra jacks, different format jacks, or even wiht the pots supplied loose and headers attached to the PCB instead.

Enough people have requested this, so here it is: The Plague Bearer Barebones pack. Each pack contains everything shown in the picture above – in fact, the picture above is a picture of the contents of the kit, to wit:

  • (1) fully-assembled and tested PB filter board.
  • (4) soft-touch knobs with red indicator (other colors available on request).
  • (4) 3.5mm mono phone jacks (tip jacks, banana, and 1/4″ available on request).
  • (3) 2-pin 24ga. 0.100″ Amp IDC connectors (for High CV, Low CV, Audio In, Audio Out).
  • (1) 4-pin 24ga. 0.156″ Amp IDC power connector.

The PB boards have been re-designed and improved over the previous versions. These were designed with modular options in mind, and have more flexible connection options. The default board pack uses the standard Blacet 4-pin connector, but the board has mounting holes for the Doepfer A-100 10-pin power connector. Actually, it has holes for a 5-pin SIP connector – which is one side of the Doepfer connector – but the unit draws less than 30mA at peak usage.

As always, special requests are welcome. These may or may not have an impact on the price, depending upon what is involved. A popular request is to leave the pots off of the board for custom mounting arrangements.
