I wanna order a "Mig Buff 3.14" one day and have a box of parts turn up on my doorstep a couple of days later.

You mean Big Muff....?

Here are some demo's of the pedals I am building. There are at least 8 varients of the Big Muff on the site

Check these out!

NO! Big Muff is a trademark owned by EHX and I would never suggest buying a knock-off. My "Mig Buff" was just a totally made up example!

So Gav, do they have ALL the parts for each kit??? If no, what isn't included?
I might even replicate my own pedalboard with a few of these...

Hey Phloggy, in answer to your question, yes, we do plan to have a range of DIY Effects Pedals in our catalogue before the end of this year.

Gavin kindly put us onto those Guitar PCB guys, but they were a bit specialised for our needs, we need some basic kits that include everything, rather than just the PCBs.

We'll be getting some samples soon, so if you'd like to be a "Beta Tester" and get a kit to try out, stay tuned and we'll be in touch.

Hey Adam, do you want me to contact BOYC (Build Your Own Clone) for the pedals??? I have built one or two for a mate of mine, and they include the housings!!!

Guitar PCB's only supply the board. You need to get the parts, but this is cool because you can choose any number of OpAmps and Transistors which can all affect the sound. The thing I like about this crowd is that you get so many modifications that you can make as well as numerous varients of each pedal. Plus they have a forum much like our own!

So for someone who is fairly new to pedal building should first try out BOYC to get the grips on the awesomeness that can be achieved, then later on try GuitarPCB to really flex out their skills???

And I'm guessing there's some diagram or the positions of each part is labelled on the PCB!!!

[Gavin1393]

I disagree, i think you would learn far more by doing a PCB pedal as there are so many variants. For the price you pay for someone to assemble specific parts you would be able to buy all the variants to try out. That way you learn more than just how the solder a part to a board!

But are the parts labelled on the PCB so we know where everything goes and what orientation the parts go???

Think Kelooooe is asking .... Are the PCB's screen printed with the parts Id's like a true kit PCB would be.. I did one for a 4 axis CNC foam cutter several years ago..am considering turning it into a cnc router.
