Pedal building parts and suppliers (soldering tools, small p

[Jay]

I added these to the list.  Thanks!!  I'm starting to think that it would be a good idea to do a similar list in the amps section for parts and kits.

[soundhack]

true - it seems like every week there's a new amp kit site....

[Jay]

For sure...  it's truly amazing what the internet has done for the DIYer.

The net has changed life as we used to know it.

What an awesome thread! Just what I'd been looking for!

It might be worth adding http://www.pedalparts.co.kr

Unfortunately it's all in Korean so isn't very accessible. They have kits and parts. If you buy a kit, you get some of the bits, like the resistors, and the other little fiddly bits, but then you have to choose (and buy seperately-> but from the same site) the enclosure, knobs, PDTs etc.

They have a few that I don't think are on other sites, like the OCD pedal.
I ordered that and got it yesterday. I haven't built a pedal before or even done soldering yet, so it's lookin a bit confusing so far.

Once you buy the kit, you log in to the site and can access a schematic. There's one for the OCD but difficult to read.

I don't s'pose anyone's scene a regular V4 OCD schematic??

I had no idea there were this many. I've known about BYOC for a while and the recent article in Premier Guitar has got me interested in them agian, but...damn, that's a long list.

What I'd really like to find is old-fashioned sloped enclosures. Hammond boxes are fine... but this is another world:

Has anyone mentioned http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/ yet?

I built a Green Sovtek Russian Muff and it is gorgeous... the kit comes really good pots too!

+1 to www.generalguitargadgets.com
I've built a couple of their kits and when I have more spending money I will definitely build more.
Once you start building pedals it's hard to stop, it's an addiction.

also a BIG +1 to www.smallbearelec.com
Small Bear has a great selection at great prices, it's always my first stop for components

I would ask this at the www.diystompboxes.com forums they are a great source for all sorts of DIY Pedal information

I'm interested in both these and Fuzz Face style round enclosures if anyone knows of a source.

Thanks and cheers!  ~del

Just heard about a new supplier of enclosures on another thread here. Looks like the answer to those Hammond blues, the hammerite finishes are cool:

http://www.circuitspecialists.com (the CSI-STATION1A is a $100 Hakko soldering station for $40)

this station is really nice. i ordered it with 2 extra tips and it came with a free multimeter, and even the meter was awesome, not a piece of junk. HIGHLY recommended.

You can add www.4mspedals.com to the list too- their pedals are freakin' fun- and not as complicated as I thought they might be.  BYOC is the shizit- great components and a great forum if you need a little help.
