Other PCB Suppliers?

I haven't used https://puzzlesounds.com but I did consider it, and the website is at least pretty slick.

Edit: Oh, 125B with side jacks on the PCB's. Sure you could still wire it with top jacks, but that's not very handy. They do have the Fire Red Fuzz though which I at least at once point thought about.

this one is pretty cool too. i bought the voltage meter driver a while back for a project.

Yes, but the 1776 Effects store is temporarily closed ATM.

Ah I missed that. It’s been closed ‘temporarily’ for years.

if nobody's mentioned thetonegeek, i had been meaning to build me so me some aquapuss now that i saw aion stocks the bbds.

Aqua Puss 1998 MK1 AP2 Retrofit PCB | thetonegeek

DIY replacement PCB inspired by a 1998 MK1 AP2 Way Huge Aqua Puss. Using my own unique layout design, the PCB can be a direct drop-in replacement to the widely available Mk2 enclosure, original Mk1, or a Hammond 1590BB. Designed to use an MN3005 BBD chip, per original. Attached are reference...

(on the other hand, the pedalpcb unison double tracker + spatialist has replaced just about everything i need in terms of temporal/depth/stereo effects, including the aion blueshift that i spent way too much money and time building)

JMK! (speaking of North of the 49th).

Delyk has some interesting projects in smaller sized enclosures, including 1590A and 1590LB! So I got a few and Delyk was great to deal with.

Peper's Pedals — who pioneered the Rocket-Sockets (Nylon Nut Drivers) many here use. (NB! single "p" in the middle, not "pepper".) AHHH

Alas... Looks like Peper doesn't offer PCBs anymore​

GCI for some bombastic circs. Surprised nobody singled that one out.







NOT my preferred style, but I've got a few:
General Guitar Gadgets PCBs,
Small Bear bits,


Other potential explorations...
TonePad — one of the originals in the supplier game,
Oshpark
Rullywow
uk-electronic.de
Muzique / AMZ
Tayda
Musikding
PigeonFX
THCustom
DIYGuitarpedals.com.au
Coda
Music From Outer Space
guitar-electronics.eu (Polish Co's w/ English-lang site)
OP Electronics (Italian)
DIYpedalgearparts (Italian)
EffectPedalKits (and PCBs)

Don't know anyone who uses these:
Jed's Peds (large selection, but ... anyone have these PCBs?)
Big Dipper (currently NOT offering DIY PCBs)
StewMac (actually, I do know Fig bought a kit from here — and he probably paid too much!)

3PDT (still supplying parts on Amazon, but no more PCBs).

Coda

If you're talking about Coda Effects, the french guy, as far as I know you could move them to the RIP category. Store is still up, but no contact in two months until I canceled my order. Another guy on FB had the same experience.

Somebody here did a build report on a Weird Scenes Fuzz from Breakfast Audio. Really cool looking.

I haven't pulled the the trigger on any, but I've got it bookmarked.

I like FuzzDog for when I need to fit two circuits in a 1590BB2 (I think all of their boards are 1590b or smaller, which makes putting two in a BB doable!), but I’m not super impressed with the quality of the boards themselves (they don’t take rework very well in my experience, higher-than-normal rate of lifted pads), and at least one of their boards with a charge pump squealed no matter what I did (can’t remember which offhand). That one aside, though, never had a FuzzDog build that I couldn’t make work.

I agree with this to an extent. FuzzDog is one of my favorite PCB vendors, but I’d gladly pay an extra 10-20% for higher grade PCBs that are more comparable to the physical quality of current PPCB and Madbean boards

After having done multiple PPCB boards now, I think I'll stay off anything that doesn't have ground pads at the top of the PCB, for example. The Model T Mini only has one set of ground/9V/in/out pads which is really cramping my style. And the pots are a pain to solder too. I understand it's because it can fit in a 1590B, but that just isn't for me personally.

I ordered from Jed's once. It was a hoof kit early in the pandemic times before i discovered ppcb. Sounds hoofy. My drummer uses it on his kalimba rig.
