Pre-populated Utility PCBs? (Crossfader, microXLR, etc.)

[drgonzo1969]

I'm not scared of SMD or anything. But I think it would be nice to have the option of having a pre-populated crossfader or microXLR for situations where time is of the essence. We have all been there. Famous rock star calls and says they needs two fuzzes in the same pedal with a crossfader and XLR but you dont have the time or components on hand to finish it before the big show in an hour. Good thing you have pre-populated utility PCBs. BOOM its show time baby. Bust out the hookers and blow. Anyways, I don't know if this is even feasible. But maybe if JLCPCB can do all the populating, we can do all the hooker and blow. Also, maybe then we could do other circuits like octaves and HM-2 EQs. That type a shit. Just a thought. Again, It's not cuz i'm scared or lazy. It's really just about the time, hookers and blow. Who's with me!??!?!

I've been considering that, especially with the crossfader... that thing is a pain to assemble by hand.

I like the idea of a challenge of SMD building, what I didnt enjoy was looking into how if I want to build just one microXLR I'd need to buy 50 capacitors. So now I'm onboard with prepopulated SMD building.

JLCPCB and 0402 components is the way for utility stuff. I love pre-populated stuff! Can make them so teensy weensy!

Ahem, I believe I requested the fingher pokhen, I don't care about the mitten grobbin! just jam it anywhere. Certified Varna Sankar here.
