This was my first surface mount pedal (Spin FV-1). I was a little intimidated at first but it wasn't too bad. I kind of got some liquid flux under the Spin chip which I cant clean but the pedal still works and sounds great so I guess it was ok? Demo soon, hopefully...

I think I'm done painting pedal too... It's too messy and not great to breath in so I bought a metal letter stamp set from Harbor Freight and they totally don't work lol... So I'll have to go another route I guess... not painting ever again lol...

I bent the LED leads to go over the board instead of under which made things easier too. I can just push the LED out from the top of the pedal when I want to take out the inside.

For some reason when I was printing the template for the drill holes they weren't lining up right. I had this issue with the ElectroVibe too. For some reason my printer has a "more settings" options and there has "Actual size" NOT "printable area"... So after putting it on actual size that everything lined up perfectly

Can't wait to jam out on this!

Hi Robert! I get my parts from Tayda Electronics for the most part. I use those ceramic caps when it come to Pico values because Tayda for the most part doesnt have those values in a box film cap. If you can find them in a box film then I'd go with those. As far as sound difference between ceramic Pico caps vs box film Pico caps I'm not sure. All I try to do is keep values where they should be so I test all components. The D3lay sounds really good too! Hope that answers your question
