I’ll spring for the pre-soldered ones if @Robert has em, but if you’re in a hurry and don’t mind the job SBP has them.

oh, I certainly want robert to solder it!I’ll spring for the pre-soldered ones if @Robert has em, but if you’re in a hurry and don’t mind the job SBP has them.

Nah, I must have already used it for something.... I'll have more before too much longer.

Damn, that's rough coming from someone with troubleshooting threadsyou sure? That guy doesn't even show build reports

I didn't offer to solder it for him.... Won't be the last time I ask for help in a thread either.... I'm still a newb.Damn, that's rough coming from someone with troubleshooting threads

Not saying you shouldn’t wait, you absolutely should. Those fv-1 are tricky if you’re not used to smd. That being said learning how to solder smd should be on your to do list. With a lot of transistors getting harder to find in through hole form smd is inevitable. I recommend you search for a smd practice board on eBay or Amazon to try it. They are cheap and let you get your feet wet.
You could always take a leap of faith and solder one yourself. Due to their larger size FV-1s are easy to solder. I've done 4 or 5 myself over the years and it worked first try. I used the drag soldering technique similar to what's show in this video:
I use flux from chipquik (I've had success with both their SMD291 and RMA591 tacky fluxes) and a 2.4mm chisel tip on my iron at around 365C. If I over-apply too much solder and have bridging it cleans up easy with either more flux/drag soldering on a clean tip OR some good quality solder braid depend on how much you over-do it.
BTW the Hydra is my favorite FV-1 project. It has a permanent place on my pedal board. Well worth the effort!
