Thank you for the welcome, fellows. I bought a couple of board from the site a year or so back and I'm going to start with those. The first one will be the pastyface tonebender clone. I have some of the components, but when I moved I wasn't able to bring all of stuff (stuff mostly being parts I have taken from other devices). So my first question has to do with getting parts online. Is there a site you can recommend where I can order only what I need for the pedal without getting a lot of repeat parts? Are there certain components that I should order spares of? Any other advice?
I have good bit of soldering and mild repair experience but have never attempted a build of any kind. My plan is to populate my board with all the components and then solder them in. I have seen the test boxes that enable you to test a circuit, and components, prior to populating and soldering to the board but I'm not sure how to use that. I mean, I don't understand how to read the schematic that shows the current's path through each component. So I'm not sure how to determine how each piece should be placed in such a board. I guess you could say I'm pretty green at this stuff.
Anyway, If people here are willing to be patient with me and offer advice, I will endeavor to persevere.
