Thanks so much to everyone who did so much leg-work (to coin a phrase). :wave :clap:

I would like the full set up as well as an extra board. I'd hate for a wee accident to bring the train to a halt. :greensad

Hi

I will give "my" folk boost kit to next one on that list. That new bearfoot booster solved my booster needs.

Thanks and sorry

I will PM you. I will also post in this thread about it. Expect to hear something towards the end of the week. I have half-way assembled the kits. All hardware has been divided up. I'm just waiting for a couple more parts to come in (LED and bezel). Those should be in by the end of the week and then I can get these things shipped out. I also have the proto board populated and now that pots and everything have come in and I have instructions from BJ on wiring the switch, I can finish wiring that up to make sure everything works.

So if you're curious why you haven't been contacted yet, I have been waiting to notify folks because I don't want to take anyone's money until I'm sure things are 100% ready to go out and there are no hangups. Hopefully I can get things to that point by the end of the week. So if you need to prep a bit to get funds available, expect (at the earliest) contact requesting payment by the end of the week. I will try to focus on getting the kits together and shipped first and while they are in transit I'll work on putting together some build docs. I'll do my best to collect ALL the info you'll need to create this pedal including the schematic, wiring diagram, instructions on polarity of components, resistor color IDs, pot numbering, etc. so you don't get hung up trying to track that info down. That was always a problem for me early on and It will be nice to put together a 1 page quick reference so folks don't have to scour the internet :thumbup:

OK -- so that's my update for this week. Will touch base again once the proto is (hopefully successfully) completed.
