Hey, soldering ain't no thang dude! There are plenty of tutorials and youtube vids on how to do it. Just grab your self a soldering iron (not soldering gun, too much heat and not enough precision) and some solder and get in to it. The BYOC confidence booster is a great first timer, my wife put it together without too much trouble and hasn't soldered before or since.

Oh, and ...

Man, those look awesome! It'll go perfectly on my board... I've been missing red since I replaced my CAF with a BPB.

Yeah it was, but I had wanted a Baby Pink for quite a while and hadn't used the CAF consistently in a good while before that. My Trombetta Bone Machine and Lunar Module Deluxe work much better for the sounds I've been needing. I don't really regret it much... The CAF was rather too bright with my Morgan AC20 Deluxe... and the Baby Pink... Well, it's just completely awesome!

The boxes look good. How much $ will these cost. Perhaps I will learn to solder. :)

I guess we need to figure out how this will go down .... Who is going to be mailing the kits ???
And will everyone that wants a box want a kit...??

Bottom line it will be more if I send them out individually rather than to someone else ... any thoughts ?

I'm in for a box and kit, definitely.

Who is assembling kits? Is this just going to be boxes and PCBs? That's fine with me but if there's a kit with all parts that'd be nice too. Anyway, I'm in for 1 -- 2 if there's extras.

I was under the assumption that the complete kit would be everything needed to assemble a pedal, including the Donnerbox'd enclosure.... That's what I'm hoping.
