Dang, thats smart.....

Thanks so much, i feel bad, and excited at the same time, like the kid who got the $100 present with $5 Christmas present cap.
So on the 15th? The day after my birthday

Now that's customer service 

That's honestly too much, Id love to buy the components with the pcb?

The Honey Bee "Yellow Shark" Clone,
From the clips I've heard of the pedal, it's nice and transparent exactly what I'm looking for, although I wouldn't mind trying out a slambox....

How do you know when you're ready to make the jump from "Noob" to "Cowboy"??

I built my first pedal right here.  If I can do it, you probably can too- but a kit would be a lot easier and you wouldn't have to worry about drilling the enclosure (although you can order them pre-drilled).

I was looking at the enclosures at Mammoth Electronics, cause I'd don't really think drilling is for me, and the pre-painted ones look real nice...

What kind of effect would you like to build?

I really recommend looking at your pedal needs right now. Don't just build a pedal if it's easy or a kit. Build something you will want to use tomorrow and next year.

Thats what has put me off buying a kit, nothing on those sites really excites me, But I do feel I need a new overdrive, I'm finding my FD-2 a little boring, I like my clean tone, but I want a little dirt, it changes my tone in a way I don't enjoy, Out of the projects here, the Serendipity, and the Slambox look cool, but I would love to build a Yellow Shark.

thanks for the fast replies  

Hey, thanks for the reply,
Now looking back my how I phrased my question was kinda stupid...
I get the difference between MadBean and the Kit Sites, I was just wondering wether it would be easier for a beginner to have all the pieces there, how hard is it to find all the parts on Small Bear/Mouser etc...??

And is any "noob" project fine, obviously some have more components to deal with and hunt down.....

Hi,

An DIY effects noob here, and I really want to start building some of my own pedals,
how would you guys recommend I start? 

A Kit? (GGG, BYOC) ?
or
Is any Noob-rated project fine.



edit: I have soldering experience and have been practicing reading schematics......
