Happy new year! This is my first post on this forum and I am preparing to build my first pedal. I just ordered a solder station and a small project (build a small FM radio) to practice my soldering skills as well as familiarize myself with the components and develop some kind of work flow.
I have looked at a lot of pedals and think I want to try and build the Cleaver Boost. However, it doesn't like the have the build sheet available yet. So my other options I am looking at are Aurum drive and Nobleman Overdrive. Any thoughts or recommendations. Is this an appropriate first time pedal to build? I am aware it is recommended to have a easy wiring hook up at the base for a easy foot switch wiring board. My main question is, do I need to order this for every build I do? Or is this build into some of the boards automatically. I know there is supposed to be a way to do this without the "easy board" but I feel I will have all the challenge I need with my first several builds just getting the pedal to do what it is supposed to do. Thank you.
