Open Discussion / Manufactured vs. Etched PCBs
July 06, 2011, 12:16:12 AM
First, I would like to say how much I LOVE this site! I have been truly inspired by the gumption and attitude of the DIY'er and I'm very excited to start my builds! Kudos to all the awesome workshop tinkerings going on!

With the recent advent of the discontinued projects, I understand that it is no longer possible to buy manufactured PCB's of several popular designs from Madbean. However, I understand it's possible to etch my own PCB from the template provided in the documentation.

My question may be absurd for the seasoned pro's, but I gotta ask anyways. Are there any sonic differences between pedals made with manufactured PCB's versus pedals made with etched PCB's? I'm inclined to say no, and that the only difference is that manufactured PCB's are easier to work with. Is that right? What about the double sided feature of manufactured PCB's versus single sided etching? Does that have any weight on sonic qualities between pedals?

I appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer!
