Thats a great turn around. I have looked them up and will be contacting them. What format do they prefer. I'm sure they'll tell me but I like getting a jump.

Matt, all you generally need is a single layer vectored PDF with your color graphics on it. Spencer will do the gloss and white layer layouts in-house as needed for no extra charge unless you need something special. I think he can also work with native Affinity files or Inkscape SVGs too, but I didn't ask. He sends you a template and an upload link, looks at your design and suggests improvements, you get a digital proof in PDF form for approval, and on approval he does the prints and drilling if you want that and sends you pics of the job. You can also just get printed acrylic faceplates in various finishes for a very reasonable price and avoid the shipping double dip I had. He only stocks a few Tayda enclosures but will order anything they sell for you at the standard Tayda pricing, so about 12 bucks shipped to his place, and then the print and shipping cost for the finished product coming at you. Or you can send him anything else instead on your nickel, as I did. Pretty danged cool in my book.
He quoted turnaround at about a week and did better than that once I had my end together, but I only live about an hour from his shop and Priority Mail from Portland = overnight in many cases.

just finished this. a 3BOD & submarine in one pedal:
MadBean RabbitHole muff fuzz and Flunkee envelope filter combo pedal fit into 1590BB. Muff is built to violet ram's head specs with modded tone section including toggle switch with mids capacitor selector; 3.9nF scooped or 10nF flat mids. Also has a toggle switch for the input capacitor with 10uF deep bass or 0.1uF stock lows. Finally, there's an order switcher toggle, since the only definitive answer to "which sounds better; fuzz into filter, or filter into fuzz? is BOTH!!
I make the pedals for myself. I dont want to sell pedals with internal voltages about 200volt.
Maybe people shouldn't be sticking their fingers in there....
Security screws may keep some of the riff raff out.
I am getting ready to jump in and build a bunch of projects. I have built kits but never had to source the parts. I bought a few boards off MAE and pulled together all the parts I need for the handful of projects I want to build. What's the best way to buy the parts in the current climate? Individually hunt for them or should I get a few of them in large amounts or as parts of resister kits? From what I've read, I want more than just onesie twosies on a part and it's best to try to order it all in one shot.
Ultimately I'd like to get all these parts and try to build them on a breadboard (I have never done anything w a breadboard before) and also try to experiment a bit to learn what happens when you tweak things in the design. Any advice on how to best go about getting parts so I can build these and also be able to explore the circuits on a breadboard? Mouser, tayda, stompboxparts are all still good spots in the current climate? Any others you'd put on your short list to browse?

I shop around and buy from whomever has parts in stock.
Tayda, Mouser, Digikey, StompBoxParts.
Also check out Allied Electronics and Newark Electronics. I've bought from them in the past.
I needed a bunch of 1/8W resistors, there was a 300-piece kit on Amazon with all the values I needed. Not the best source, but it worked.
You can get 1/4W kits and cap kits, but there may be a number of values you need that arent included. I end up doing piece parts. If you have the storage space, sometimes it's barely more money to get 50 or 100 of a value than to get 10. My workbench area has a ton of spare parts on shelves and in bins (it gets pretty messy sometimes)
It was the Penumbra bass fuzz kit from AionFx, the documentation was perfect for a noob like me.
I didn't buy it from anyone. I had them made using Eagle and JLCPCB. Full credit on the schematic goes to
M. Chittum from FSB. I cannot take credit for that.
