Fascinating. Never watched his vids before. Very different build process from mine.

He has some great content. Most of his videos, he opens up popular pedals and talks about the build quality and circuit design.

How different? Do you add solder first, melt it and then quickly stick the components through?Fascinating. Never watched his vids before. Very different build process from mine.
I like that he solders one leg, checks alignment and then he solders the other leg. I do this for tall skinny parts that tend to tilt like capacitors.
Low profile parts I press down into blue tack, with tape over them.

It was cool to watch him build. Bunch of differences. Biggest is I wire jacks and switches outside the enclosure then just solder to the pcb after boxing. Rather than trying to wire up jacks and switches in the box.
Feels like this could be a separate thread!
That's what the left over resistor or diode legs are for.
He does some cool stuff, I built the Barber Edge Hog from his schematic.
He & Robert worked together on a PCB available here.

I'm waiting for him to trace the DBA Germanium Filter (that I failed to trace from screenshots of his video). Would be great to have it as a PedalPCB product

I watch his uploads good content… Bought a octave fuzz pcb from him a while back that i haven’t built out yet.. One thing I noticed is how he puts the pots in to line up the pcb.. Therr is nothing more frustrating than trying to do that… When I found a tip from somewhere to bend the pot pins first outward and squeeze them lightly to into the pcb they hold…. Then put it in enclosure… put some nuts on … adjust how it sits and solder one pin on each pot… adjust as needed… The solder moment for his jumper wire was funny… I saw it coming… glad he left it

Does Joe have a PCB store?
I know he has a Reverb store for his builds.

I had the opposite thing happen to me... I had a kit that came with a roll of buss wire and I thought it was solder... so after about 20 seconds of me holding it on the component and wondering why the hell it wouldn't fucking melt... oooooouuuuuccchhhh hahahha burnt the shit out of my finger tips. I am a chef so I already don't have feeling in my fingertips. By the time I did feel it, my fingers were a perfectly seared medium rare.... maybe medium haha

I contacted him about the pcb and he sent me a link to his store to pay
