Thanks for the quick response! I didn't know if it was printed on the other side. I'm a little apprehensive about taking it apart. I don't know much about pedals, but want to learn. Thanks!It's probably an older board. On the underside of the board should be the PCB number. Just search for that here.
If they are J201 my money would be on a chop shop
I don’t know if I should feel proud I recognised it or go get a life!!That's exactly what it is.
First revision Chop Shop before trim pots were added.
Thanks Luke! Appreciate everyone's responses. Looking forward to building a pedal soon. I have some decent soldering skills, what's a good first pedal to build?I don’t know if I should feel proud I recognised it or go get a life!!
I’ve only made a couple of ppcb pedals and one of them was the chop shop… the newer version!
You have two approaches...Thanks Luke! Appreciate everyone's responses. Looking forward to building a pedal soon. I have some decent soldering skills, what's a good first pedal to build?
You have two approaches...
Build what you want, or need approach
Select carefully the sound you're after, find what the best pedal for the sound is, do a quick cost/benefit of cost to build vs cost to buy .... and then choose carefully
Pokemon approach
Build as many as you can. In 12 months you will have 15 variants of tube screamers, 234 muffs, PILL noise things and a shelf of stuff you've not debugged yet...
Gotta get 'em all...I only see one true approach here TBH. And the other is a fictional la la land.
My first build had 5 pots and 2 toggle switches (Parthenon). I had not soldered since college, but that was the easy part for me. Getting everything to line up in the enclosure, though... definitely a learning curve there.Thanks Luke! Appreciate everyone's responses. Looking forward to building a pedal soon.

Also if you’re in Europe - musikding is your friendThanks Luke! Appreciate everyone's responses. Looking forward to building a pedal soon. I have some decent soldering skills, what's a good first pedal to build?
Where do you search with that number? I've tried that but it hasn't worked. I would like it if the PCB number was searchable on the home page because I often forget what I ordered and find a PCB months later and wonder what it is. Then I have to slowly scroll through the pictures until I find one which matches.It's probably an older board. On the underside of the board should be the PCB number. Just search for that here.
