Well that sure escalated quickly.

I did my first ever build a few weeks ago followed by 3 more and here I sit....Bored, and there is nothing else I want to do.
Having absolutely no building experience these boards were a dream to work with. Why didn't I try this years ago?

Builds 1-4.
Left to right.
Greengage, Muzzle, SpiritBox, Integral Pre.

Nice work. Looks really clean for your first builds!

Thanks! I was just floored that they all worked on the first attempt. I am especially happy with the last build (TC Pre) with the exception of the giant 220n cap. That will be replaced because OCD.

OCD.

This probably makes sense. I’m not OCD or very neat. Which can provide challenges.

Great job!

Very nice collection of escalation. From here it's exponential... you have been warned

 

[Coop]

No kidding. I may or may not already have an amp pcb sitting here ready to populate.

 

[BuddytheReow]

Sweet builds!

You Sir have made your homework. Very nice build.

I also started recently building pedals, I had great guidance from one member here and a lot of advice from many other members. One thing I've learned is that hours of preparation will avoid days of troubleshooting. I've came up with my own process from purchasing a new board, prepping my parts, executing the build and testing and so far, I've scored 12 out of 12 in success builds. (I'm blindly ignoring the day I tested one without inserting my IC in the sockets)

I've now up'ed my complexity, the next 2 builds will be combos, not yet with mods, but still. Looking forward to those builds as I feel it's a step up from single FX.

Enjoy the rabbit hole Alice !

HA. I forgot to socket my ics in the first build as well. I was met with a lot of disappointment until I looked down on my desk and saw them sitting there.

I started a bit more than a year ago and I can’t stop.

That's where the Mojo is!

Same here!! I built my first two pedals from kits back in May 2021. It was a Klon Centaur clone and a Mossrite Fuzz clone then I found pedalpcb like a month later. I just finished my 15th build from this site and I'm working on 3 more. Ain't gonna lie, it's been massively helpful for my mental health. Sourcing parts, organizing parts, soldering tiny little components and the hyper focus it takes to populate a board all nice and neat has been therapy for me and when you're done you get a new pedal. Be good and have fun!

Very nice work! From one OCD guy to another, you forgot to trim the LED leads on the Spirit Box.

That is only because the spirit box is going in a printed enclosure as soon as I submit a Tayda order. Don't worry..It is bothering me more than it should.
