Ended up getting the kester I mentioned off of amazon since I am a prime member---loving it already---looks like it will last me awhile.

Thanks for all of the advice, everyone---really great, helpful forum going on here---gonna research all the options tonight.

Looking to invest in a 1 lb spool of solder. I've been buying the AIM 63/37 .040 in 10 ft lengths from small bear, but burned through the last spool pretty fast. Would Kester 44 Rosin Core Solder 63/37 .031 1 lb. Spool be similar/comparable to what I am used to with the AIM? I understand the kester is slightly smaller diameter. Or, is that too small of a diameter in anyone's experience? I'll only be doing through hole---no SMD.

Thanks,

Matt

Built a Kraken using Madbean PCB and parts from Tayda---got the CA3080 from SmallBear, though.  Everything seems to be working fine on the pedal, except when I pick or strum hard, I get clipping---is this normal? Nothing major, but the clipping sounds pretty nasty on the clean channel of my solid-state practice amp. Thought maybe it was related to guitar output, so I tried both a Gibson with P90s and a Fender with single coils. Any advice on this isssue?---many thanks!
