Just ordered a BYOC...

[ailean]

well 3 actually. 1 confidance builder, a 5 dial compressor for Sue and a tonebender Extra Special Vintage for me.

It's been a long time since I last soldered anything to a PCB so it could get interesting, but I'm looking forward to playing with the result (if it works). Off to Maplins for a multimeter at the weekend :)

Sue is insane and has gone for about the most complex build they sell.

Should be here next week!

Tips and comments would be welcomed (unless they are insulting ;) )

Be careful with the switch, I overheated mine and mangled it pretty badly. Stopped the whole pedal from working til I got a new one :(

[ailean]

Ah... Point well noted.

Just take your time, be methodical and follow the instructions! Simple stuff. On and be careful with the wiring of pots and the jacks, try to keep your wires neat and kind of together, keeps everything tidy and easy to spot mistakes.

Print out the PDF instructions - unless you are workng in from of the computer
Also look at their forum under the kits involved to see tips from other people who have done the same kits

Great interview with BYOC in PremierGuitar.com

Yeah no amp. I practice silently. Sue uses the Rockerverb, and I use headphones, that way we don't interfere with each others playing. (And she's the better player by far so she gets the amp)

Thanks for the link Johnathan, I'll give that a read at work ;)
