I'll be the first to say that this will be my first build. Been thinking about doing something like this for quite some time and thought this is as good a time as any. My experience is limitied to soldering a couple of wires to install a pickup. Hopefully this won't be too far over my head. Either way I'm looking forward to giving it a shot.

if some of you want to let us know your skill level/build history and any specific questions you would have or help you anticipate needing,,, that could be started now....

Any bits of cautionary wisdom would be appreciated. For example, are any of the components extremely heat sensitive ("put down that 100w iron, you fool"); is static build-up a problem (I seem to recall hearing this about handling ICs)???

I have fairly extensive experience with tube gear but not of solid state, wee tiny stuff.

I have built 2 pedals and can say that I am really looking forward to putting this mofo together. Have the pedals shipped out to the people that have paid?

All the best

I am waiting on just a couple parts from small bear to get the kits shipped, hopefully all will be in the wind by Wednesday.

Man that pedal is sexy.

Were the kits sent out this week?

All the parts are here and kits will start shipping tomorow!!! I am going to do the instructions for the build here on the forum but will put the schematic and board population notes in the kit.

These will be going out priority mail so hopefully everyone in the USA will have them under their tree! Nothing like good Christmas Fuzz.

It was like Santa knew to come early at my house!!! The kits arrived safe and sound!!!! Man the photos of these pedals do them no justice..........wait until you see them in person ( HOLY S^#T!!! )

Great job all around!!!

Now I have to figure out how to wire this up because I can not read the diagram :oops:

Will there be a wiring diagram for newbies to use so we can wire up the pedal?

Mucho thanks and have great holiday guys!!!
