DIY Effect Makers (club?)

[oZZma]

I built a few for me. First based on kits, then bought pcb's, then etched some pcb's and boxes, then doings my own layouts and letting pcb's been made. Now anywhere in between. I sold a few pcb's and lately one pedal to a friend.
Here are some examples of what I did:

First based on kits, then bought pcb's, then etched some pcb's and boxes, then doings my own layouts <-- Thats the path I want to go!

Yeah I'm definitely looking for kits with instructions, I have a Craig Anderton's beginner's book to help me identify parts and read schematics (more ore less ) but I don't feel like I can finish my first builds without instructions...
Honestly it would not bother me much if the first kits I build aren't durable (or usable) or don't sound good to my taste, it's just an exercise for me... So I can start making what I'm really interested to as soon as I'm able to. Crazy/extreme modulation and noise stuff, mostly.

It is worth signing up at freestompboxes.org for all things pedal building related. There is info there on just about any pedal you can think of.

There's a lot of info there, so I'd rather say yes than no.
Bjorn Juhl, bjfe owner is even a member. He sometimes posts comments about his builds or answers questions. So if you're curious to learn about old and newer circuits too, go there, have a look and the rest is up to you.

I did !
